Hi Rye
We are working hard on these topics.
You will find here after a link to a pdf file (sorry French speaking) were you
can see a picture of a Darwin system working at full bloom a short English
summary, and some tables that you can understand...

Its common for many commercial growers to do just that. Rather than hand
thinning though, they use chemical thinners, such as NAA and Sevin. Depending
on weather conditions, rates and bloom load, it will take out a percentage of
the flowers.
