I have an exhaust fan with filter .. and an intake fan. Plus 2 small oscillating fans and a tower fan in tent. so I do have a fair bit of airflow. Thanks
Should I defoliate these plants to lower humidity?

I dont see any, youll know when you see it youll shit brix. Hopefully not thats why its important to keep up with it but really I didnt understand how it grew till I got it myself. Otherwise I wouldnt of gotten it. Even with precaution it can show up. Im just getting cocky because Im on week 7 flower since I got pm.
I would toss the plant before it spreads to the others which it will already be sprinkled with. The spores. That and same reason the weed is trash bound, those spores at that concentration is dangerous.
Youll get better and making that desicion hopefully you dont get that but the pain is less and less each time you take a loss. At least you would be protecting yourself.
Besides, once it gets out of hand youll probably not want it anyway. Id reduce rh and keep it from getting cold at night to form dew points. Id get some hig ass fans in there like tower or box or pedestal fan even if it requires tossing a plant. I tried saying if this is the same thread and person, that if the defoliate dont help Id just toss a plant.

When I say trashbound, the plant that has it is trash the mold is now familiar with the plant and probably will just show up again and again. The plants next to it are 100x likely to get it but if it dont those are fine to harvest or maybe not.. Its on the table for possible tossing being that close but its better than harvesting a plant that directly was infected.
Plants in other tents same room should be much cleaner and safer to consume. Part of whats nice having just 1-2 plants per tent.

I don't see any PM, that looks like trichome. Plants have more than one type. Your noticing it more predominantly due to environmental stressors

Copied from Google......
Plant trichomes can be classified in many ways, including by their shape, size, and function:
Glandular vs non-glandular: Glandular trichomes can synthesize and secrete specialized metabolites, such as terpenoids, phenylpropanoids, and flavonoids.
Single-celled vs multicellular: Trichomes can be made up of a single cell or multiple cells.
Branched vs unbranched: Trichomes can be branched or unbranched.
Capitate vs peltate: Capitate trichomes have a stalk that is more than half the height of the head, while peltate trichomes have a short stalk and a large secretory head.
Bulbous vs sessile vs stalked: Bulbous trichomes are small and low, sessile trichomes have a globular head on a short stalk, and stalked trichomes have a larger globular head on a long stalk.
Large vs small: Trichomes can be classified as large or small based on their distribution on the plant.
Head shape: Trichomes can have different head shapes, such as head, star, hook, and scale.
The morphology of trichomes can also be associated with the spatial distribution of plant organs. For example, the base of a tomato stem has long trichomes, while the upper parts of the stem have short and sparse trichomes.

I grow a lot of autos...if they are vigorous....like yours....defoliate the hell out of them it'll grow back. You still have weeks to go....I would remove every fan leave that has a long stem on it a little at a time. So I would remove a handful every other day till all the buds had access to light.
Turn your exhaust fan up to help with rh.....it is venting outdoors right?

If the light won't reach the lowers you get nice top buds and albino fluff underneath. I like to pull the branches down and away from each other then cut away any leaf that's facing inwards or going into/shading other buds. Side lighting can help a lot in these scenarios as well.
Defoliating won't necessarily help with lowering humidity too much. It can certainly help stop microclimates from occuring within the bounds of the plant itself.
