I have a different theory in removing the young leaves.
Leaves are the power house of the plant, they are what nourishes, feeds and pushes the plant on. by removing a leaf you are removing like a piston in a car engine. I'd suggest, with a few trial plants, not removing any leaf at all and compare side by side growth to the ones you do remove.
Cheers from Australia.
