Cut off all that bottom crap under the net. If you keep humidity and night time Temp drops stable, along with decent air flow, mold shouldn't be a problem

Either wait and see, or put a small heater in there connected to an ink bird. I had pm issues once. All gone since I put the heater in

I dont think I saw it drop below 65f last winter.
My rh is reading 55% got 2 circulation fans and an intake, I got more on hand. How warm would you say I want to keep my light off temps?

Rule of thumb on temperature is +/- 10° or so. That said, I'd focus on the humidity more and keep it below 55% I think. Plenty of airflow and trim up under the canopy to aid in the air flow will help a lot.

Sounds good. Think I got swings of about 15 degree f most day. Don't think it has ever been 20, I'll get my exhaust hooked into my hvac and that should help keep the high end down and I can wrapp them up at lights off so they don't bottom out. My rh seem real stable and I would be more worried about drying them out if I ran a dehumidifier and it should drop some with the season change. I'll get my underside trimmed up tonight.
Thanks for the advice. Was considering chopping a lot of canopy off. glad yall don't think it is necessary

You need to get that canopy sorted.
Pull all those tall stems down under the net.
Weave it like a basket.
Good luck!

Can I keep my growth if I up air flow or do I need to start removing it branches?
Worried about mold just started week 3 in bloom
You can do it!!! This is 5 plants in a 3x5 tent. Packed to the max. Just keep air moving above and below the canopy. Try to keep them happy. This will keep their leaves lifted & off each other to lessen chances of mold or PM. 8931884A-A0E7-417A-96DE-C63C7496B302.jpeg

Another occasion I had 8 plants in there without a trellis. FFEFEA6A-AEEF-4C65-8311-20FD456B1DF2.jpeg

Looking at the structure of your grow, the plants aren't getting much light so they're not creating a lot of leaves and branches. Instead, they're growing very tall.

First - even out your canopy by supercropping the tallest stems.
Second - spend $25 on a light meter and get the top of your canopy to 800-1000µmols (about 60k lux, depending on the grow light)
Third - do not remove any leaves. On one hand, hacking off fans leaves is, arguably, in many cases counter productive. You need to spare them all because you don't have any to spare (English is a weird language, eh?).

Below is a random picture from a grow a year ago. It's an auto that was vegged using a veg light using a pretty aggressive light schedule. Characteristics - short, stocky plant with lots of inflorescence.
