Should I remove the lowest leaves

[whelk]

This plant is 5.5 weeks old on 18/6 lighting. I've noticed it's just a little bit less perky than my other plants. Should I cut off those lowest leaves that are touching the soil to maybe increase ventilation a bit? Thnks

Definitely remove leaves touching the medium. What type of light are you using?

Yea leaves touching medium is just a pandora's box you do not want to open.
