yeah 40 - 45 will turn them to mush .. depending on how long the snap is.. they can mush-ify over night this time of year .. keep an eye on temps.. and for mealy bugs.. easy to miss sometimes
when they are leggy I cut them harsh.. normal pinching just the growing tip in the center like stated earlier.. can do every branch later on.. can be tiny on some.. I have a cheap pair of nippers from the christmas tree shop that I love for that job.. other wise my finger nail turns brown .. and I use alcohol to get it off my nail
