Shouldn’t be a problem but I’m no expert. I just cleaned my lone plant on day 29 of flower (yesterday) and like you I worry I’ll do harm but so far she looks fine!Yesterday my band's rehearsal got called because two of the guys had to work. Idle hands - devil's playmates and all. The plants were very bushy - I could not see down through more than a half of the way to lollypop land, and could not see through the brush more than a few inches in when viewed from the sides. The ladies are 3 weeks since changing to a 12-12 lighting schedule. Did a bit of reading and decided it might be time for a final nip and tuck. Out came the scissors. I cut most of the large lower fan leaves - up to about half way between the lollypop level and the canopy. After that I was more choosy - mostly cutting away those leaves masking promising flowering potential. Hope I was not too severe! Here's a picture after the surgery.
. Here are the seeds for my next grow - Chocolope feminized seeds, very heavy 95/5 Sativa strain. I put the seeds in a small glass of distilled water, left them for 12 hours by which time they had all fallen to the bottom of the glass. My wife mixed up her usual mix of 4 parts premium leafgrow, 2 parts peat moss, 1 part vermiculite and one part pearlite. I sterilized the soil in 1-quart batches in the microwave for 2.5 minutes each, then placed in some plastic 1-quart containers with holes drilled in their bottoms. I then added filtered tap water to moisten the soil (pH=7.6 - I know, kinda high). The seeds were then put about 1/2 inch below surface and the pots lightly sprayed again. Pictures or it didn't happen...
