So pull them off at the main stalk of the plant or at the leaves? Sorry, I'm a little confused. Thanks

Oh dont use force. Like dog said, when they are ready to fall off the slightest touch will cause them to fall.

Yeah when they are ready to come off you can pretty much blow them off of the main stalk, or just push them down VERY lightly

i remember reading in Jorge Cervantes book that you should cut right where the stem meets the stalk. Cut it at a 45degree angle to help water runoff. Not a bad idea to use a small pair of scissors or a razor dipped in plain ole rubbing alchohol to help avoid any disease. So simple to do now and might save one of your sexy ladies.
