I just read somewhere, that after my horrific bout with thrips, I should remove any leaves with more than 50% damage. I have done so on a few plants, but on one of them, the removal was over 50% total leaves. (yes, I got my ass kicked by them little bastards). Is this going to do bad things to them, or will they come out of the shock they are in? Some plants don't have alot of water leaves left on em yet, and they still have a week or so till harvest. Should I give em something in thier flush water? Thnx

Hello, I'm new here so I doubt my opinion carries much weight.
But if you only have a week or two remaining 'till harvest I doubt the loss will matter much. I've even heard of some people stripping all the fan leaves just prior to harvest to cut down on the manicure time...But I wouldn't do it. :-)

that prolongs flowering
