Shogun indoor

In the fourth week of flowering, the plants went through a major defoliation – and they don’t look quite as lush anymore. My goal was to improve air circulation and redirect the plant’s growth focus toward the buds. This was the most defoliation I’ve done to date, and honestly, it felt pretty drastic. I hope I didn’t overdo it, but I’m glad that part is done. The good news: the plants handled the shock really well, showing no signs of excessive stress. The remaining leaves look healthy and “happy,” indicating a smooth recovery from the defoliation. Over the past week, they grew about 5 cm, which shows they’re still going strong. A highlight this week has been the visible bud development – they’ve grown noticeably larger, and the first trichomes are now visible to the naked eye, giving the plants that characteristic sparkle. Overall, I’m pleased with how they’ve bounced back from the defoliation, and it looks like the shift in focus toward bud production is going as planned.
