Those large leaves, unless they are dead, are the carbohydrate factory and light catcher for your plant. It isn't a really healthy practice to remove all of them, doing so has resulted in all of your smaller leaves making up for it, and will probably cause leafier bud. It's forcing the plant to make greenery to grow when it should be focused on flowers, ya dig :thumbsup:
