im gunna do the same inside ....nice and slow 4 or 5 leave at a time . never shock the plant. outdoor need leaves removed to allow light deeper in the plant
lol, I take hundreds at a time. Never hurts them. I have bags full of leaves ripped off the plants.
Outdoors it's needed far far less. There's this little thing called the sun that just goes through everything
Edit: don't be offended by my sarcasm. It's my NY eve wit.
