His clipping was perfect, much more than that and they could indeed get over stressed. Also, over pruning can be one of the few causes of hermies. When pruning anything, the plant takes most of its energy to healing the pruned areas. Therefore, there will be a day or three of little to no growth while the plant regenerates the pruned areas. Then, all should commence as if nothing happened. In urgr8est's case, I would not be surprised if after the initial shock, that he sees a marked increase in growth. Now with the old detritus off the plant, and old fan leafs off, light and air can now penetrate into the plant where it could not before.
