Disagree away! I encourage it!
However Ross, your plant is already showing signs of dormancy by dropping thier top leaves. Therefore going full stop on your watering makes good sense. One of my anosmums is still growing rapidly so I start tapering off at the end of the month or when the top leaves start to drop. I think if your plant is still growing strong, a sudden full stop might serve to shock before its natural "shock time." Just my
