oh not much, hows it going now? to be honest cutting them leaves was kind of pointless(from a getting more light to those spots perspective). See leaves are not nearly as solid as they look, only about 15% of the light that hits a leaf interacts with chloroplasts for photosynthesis and about 85% of the light that hits the leaf keeps going. so those spots will now get 15% of 100% of the initial light compared to 15% of 85% of the initial light. not a real big upgrade. at least you caught a buzz though, from that perspective it wasnt totally pointless.
