Help with bushy plants

[Jay81]

Its my first time growing anything so im sorry for the dumb question. All three girls are almost one month from sprout, growing fast and looking healthy. The two im having issues with are blueberry indica from fast buds.

They are so bushy its getting hard to water and continuing to lst is becoming a nightmare. From what ive been reading removing a bunch of leaves from an auto is a no-go for the most part, or at least not until later into flower?
Should i wait longer until they strech a bit to continue lst? Should i be removing more of the lower growth even though theyre still in pre flower? Pictures of the mess below. Thank you

I think ur fine the style of grow ur going for is perfect a great job bud if I where u I would tuck as many big leaves as possible so the branches get the light then @ or after stretch I would pinch a few leaves but you really want a good base to go from next time you could also try different things on each to see wat u prefer for ur space/style but keep up the good work bud.

Do whatever you need to do! They won't hold it against you.

Thanks for the compliments, though i suspect its mostly beginners luck. I literally just dropped the seeds in the soil and they did their thing. And lst. I will continue to tuck but even thats getting difficult with my fat shaky hands.

So Groff, are you saying its ok to make some room at the bottom of the plants? Ive read if taking leaves, only take a few at a time. Ive also read when taking leaves, do it all at once. What would you guys suggest?
