Learn how to perform the Superpruning Technique and its results

Introduction:

What is the Superpruning Technique?

Steps to Perform the Superpruning Technique:

• • Identify the lower and lateral branches you want to remove.

• • Use sharp scissors or a sterilized knife to cut the selected branches.

• • Remove only the smallest and least productive branches, leaving the main and upper branches intact.

Right Time to Super Prune:

Benefits of the Superpruning Technique:

• • Improves air circulation and light penetration into the plant canopy.

• • Reduces competition for nutrients and water between branches.

• • Increases the production of larger and higher quality buds on the main branches.

• • Provides easy access for plant care and inspection of pests and diseases.

Considerations and Precautions:

• • Do not over-prune, as this can cause stress to the plant and negatively affect growth and bud production.

• • Sterilize your cutting tools before and after each use to prevent the spread of disease.

• • Closely monitor the plant’s response after over-pruning and adjust your technique as needed.

Practical Examples of Superpruning:

• • Selective removal of lower branches to promote a more open and airy canopy.

• • Pruning lateral branches to focus the plant’s energy on the vertical growth of the main branches.

• • Super-prune upper branches to even out the canopy and promote uniform bud growth.
