HELP! Help with tying

[HighEnergyVampire]

I am struggling to keep the big leaves tucked down, they keep popping right back out within an hour of tucking. She is growing into a bush and I am worried about air flow. Can someone please give me some guidance on how to, and where to, tie the fan leaves down?

Plant details: Strain - Rainbow Belts, Autoflower. 38 days from germination. FoxFarm nutrients, coco-loco and daily LST (bending and tucking).

If light can't reach it or they cover bud sites, I pluck it.

I thought with autos you shouldn’t remove leaves? This is my first time growing autos, I have only grown photos before this.

Early versions of autos may have had issues with leaf removal. Nowadays breeders have overcome that and the bro science guidance, no leaf removal, autos are more sensitive than photos, autos can't be topped, etc. I have not had any of mine act any different than a photo plant.

Thanks I didn’t know this. I’ll take off the couple large leaves.

Remove a few leaves and give her a few days to recover, pictures help a lot here

I thought I had uploaded but I apparently didn’t attach them. I added the 2 pictures, thank you for letting me know.

She’s the one in the middle.

That girl in the middle, she does look bushy, but otherwise healthy. I had an auto that looked similar to yours. Mine, the leaves were smallish and grew so fast that I couldn't keep them trimmed. The fan leaves were small, the growth tips small and tight with tight node spacing. Does that sound familiar?

[HighEnergyVampire]

Yes! This is exactly what I am dealing with, she’s definitely been a diva. 😀
