Grafting?

Discussion in 'Advanced Growing Techniques' started by The Green Man, Jun 1, 2009.

  1. Has anyone had success in grafting MJ?
     
  2. This is not going to answer your question...but WHY would one want to graft MJ???
     
  3. not sure what ya mean here,

    has anyone grafted Cannabis to another plant?...yes

    or Vica versa ...yes


    have growers grafted difffrent strains on one mother ...yes

    have those grafts improved the mothers ..or other grafted strains....no

    Cannabis tends to be a "callous" plant menaing it knits well. (one of the reasons it clones so well) so it can be grafted, but you gotta use a close relative, most grafting experiments use Hops, it being the closest relative to Cannabis. You should know however that almost allthose experiments with hops were hoping to result in a cannabis plant that looked like hops.....it didn't work, go figure.


    the simple fact is cannabis grows too well, and has no problems creating root stock for itself, making grafting kinda selfdefeating.

  4. I think OP ment grafting different strains to create "your own"

    WWxSDxNL wouldnt that essentially be three plants grafted into one? Wether 10 years ago or not...... stil same concept?

    I may be wrong, but thats what I took from the OP
     

  5. It just doesn't work like that...for MJ plants.

    I could go in to detail and would have to get very technical but to keep it simple MJ only lives one season and that's it - so there is no sense what-so-ever to graft.
    Neither would one create a new strain that way.
     
  6. leapfrog thanks for jumpin in

    Im a noob by all means and know Im way over my head in the AGT threads!

    Here's how I was thought grafting would work.....

    you have three mothers

    WW,SD and NL

    you graft two clones (WWxSD)and end up with 50% WW and 50% SD

    Veg that out and graft back to NL and end up with a 50 NL 25 WW/SD split.

    We control the "season" so would we not be able to do this?

    Is it a genetic deal? if so cool!
     
  7. no genetic materiel is transfered with grafting ..the limb/stem grafted on would retain all the characterstics it had before grafting , as would the plant you grafted onto.


    the only reason I could see anyone doing this would be to keep diffrent strains alive off one rootstock..aka a mother..the only probelm is diffrent strains like diffrent nute levels, so no mater what you do, some part of your mom is going to be pissed...and my money is on all of it will suffer, which will lead to weak clones....trust me it has been tried ..and it didn't work.

    now if your looking into making a strain I strongly suggest you start here

    good luck
     
  8. I got a much better understanding! Thanks for taking a quick minute to explain Wharfart! Oh and for the link too!

    Im headin back to the AB side :) where I belong!
