Has anyone cropped leaves off of developing heads of loose leaf lettuce? Red sails to be exact? I needed to supplement the couple mature heads I had so I cropped the lower outside leaves off some younger plants. Just 2 or 3 leaves per plant. Will this stunt their growth? Seems like these leaves would be old and unusable by harvest anyway.

 

Thanks,

Wendy
