I didn't know where to post this, I thought you guys would know more. Is it possible to graft different strains of weed onto one plant? Maybe to have different harvesting times, or just to keep the number of plants your growing lower? Would there be problems with this?
Actually check out [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGhWLaTopL4]YouTube - Grafting Cannabis Plants[/ame] Pretty good video about it.
I have checked out many projects like this. It is a good way to have more than one strain, however what we do not see is the potential for multiple mothers on one plant. Presently, if we want to keep more than one strain, we must keep a mother of each. I think it would be amazing to have 2 or 3 strains and keep it as a mother. Then you could take cuts of 3 different strains off one mother. Everything I see is in plants flowering out, I'm curious to see it tried as a mother plant with a few different strains.
anyone know if it would be possible to graft a whole plant to a set of roots? like at the end of the harvest when you have a big root system,after chopping a plant, couldn't you graft a smaller plant in veg state so it would use the big roots of the harvested plants and potentially grow faster since it has more roots? or would that just be too much stress?
It is theoretically possible to graft a whole plant to a set of roots. In practice, that is how they make dwarf fruit trees. I don't know if anyone has tried it with MJ, though. It would NOT make it a quicker time to harvest...grafts take time to heal, and that would be longer than the few weeks you'd have left in veg to have a plant that would survive a graft like like. Other than the hope of faster growth (which won't happen), can you think of another reason that you would want to graft plant-to-root-stock? Peace, Bak Alchisk
Grafting one plant to another's root system is definitely possible, wine growers do it all the time to get the pest resistance of a native strain (the root system donor) with the desirable flavors of an exotic grape (the plant body) in fact almost all cali grapes are grown in this manner. However, to do this I believe the circumferences of the two plant stems must be equal or similar so I dont think this is a feasible practice in our grow rooms.
nice thanks for the feedback guys. i just figured bigger roots on a small plant would equal faster growth... i'll just stick to cloning =)
