I'm not really sure what you removed. 90% of what exactly? Is it 90% of a new shoot? It was my understanding you remove part of the new shoot before it starts turning into a node. I hope I'm not sounding like too much of an idiot here, but I always get freaked out when it comes to fiming. It's like I'm in the twilight zone every time I try to understand it. Perhaps it would help if I tried to understand it some time when I'm sober.
