trim to many leaves

i recently found spider mites . i was reading that you can trim leaves to provide light to lower half. so i trimed leave to provide the light and get rid of the pesky mites. i might have got a little overboard they just dont look as full any more. 9 days in to flowering. any suggestions. please tell me i did not screw up royally.

Ya never want to trim any leaves off the plant. If they are dead then yes. The only trimming that should be done is the removal of entire branches that are small/skrawny at the bottom of the plant or the branches that are not getting too much light. Your yeild will be small.

is there any thing i can do to help them. should i switch back to veg for a while. they are only about 10 days into the flowering
