Sorry hopps grafting is just something i read in high times, so i havnt tried it myself. i do know that grafting weed strains will work though, as im sitting in front of my bubblegum widow G13 nothern lights gooberry mother. Imagine when i flower her

thanks man, thats what i was wondering, figured it had to be possible. i dont give a damn about grafting weed with anything else... why would you need to? post a pic, cause im sorry, i'll have to call bullshit on this one until you post a picture.

check out a bonsai book at the library. Many plants can be grafted and it is a technique used by bonsai farmers to create large roots quickly and often used to cultivate slow growing varieties such as the japanese maple, which will be grafted to the base or root stock of a plant that has fast growing roots and will establish more quickly....why wouldnt it work for weed? its one of the most diverse and easy to grow, most adaptive plants in the world. Ill post some pics when i can get a more secure computer. i dont like putting pics on computers unless i can trash them later. You can also grow several plants together from the base. If you grow two plants together by cutting a slice off of each plant's stalk and tying them securely together with clay to prevent drying they will grow together even if they are different varieties. Im talking about weed now here. From this point you will have two root systems leading to "one" combined stalk. Bonsai farmers at this point will cut the top off of the weaker plant and the roots will be used for the remaining plant. This creates the appearance of two large roots coming out of the soil when in fact it is two that have been grafted and pruned. Ill work on creating one like this and ill post it as well. Ill look at what this technique is called and post it later so you can research it if your interested.

im not calling you out on your info. actually i appreciate it, as you do know what you are talking about and not just pulling my leg. im not wasnt trying to say that you were lying... i/we all just love pics and was just wanting to see one, figured that would prompt a post. understand the security issues/paranoia, as i just started to post pics myself.

how long have you been into bonsai? i know the root thing you are talking about, (but not the name) as my wife and i have been looking into some bonsais lately. looks really cool, but def takes alot of care and patience.

btw, if you have pics, im sure i speak for the community when i say that i would love to see a multi strain mother and will gladly help you get your pics up securely if there is any way i can. how bout a bonsai pic to hold us off????

ps. bump up on your rep

well i appreciate that. ill be sure to put some posts up as soon as i can. I especially want to show off my room as im proud of my watt to gram efficiency. My setup is as follows: a hallway of racks that have tupperwares on 2 levels....each rack holds 4 30 gallon tupperwares that each hold three plants. Two HPS 600's and one MH600 are in an air cooled glass tube hanging vertically on a light mover. The plants are about 6 inches from the lights as they move down the hallway. Im getting 2 g per watt and i dont have co2 in the system yet. Using both sides of the bulbs has improved efficiency immensely. Next im going to experiment a horizontal setup and try growing plants upside down so they have no gravitational resistance. ive heard of people growing tomatoes upside down and doubling yields.

hops is not just closely related to hops they are cousins. of the same species... cannabis. it is perfectly fine to graft them together because hops grows as a vine up a terrace or tress. if you intertwine the plant with the hops it will correct itself with phototropism. thus creating the graft

Hey I know I am relatively new to these boards, but I'm not that new to this game. While I have not attempted to graft any limbs from plant to another, I do know a little about grafting as I have a family member involved in agriculture, fruit trees in particular, and have seen some of it and had it explained. when you graft, no actual genetic material or DNA is from one part of the graft is used by the other part. its sort of like a transplanted organ. The usual reason for grafting is to attach a part of one plant which is fruit producing, but not particularly acclimated to a certain area, to another part from a different plant in the same species that is better adjusted to the region or growing conditions.
Say, for example, you have a particular soil type that is hard and rocky and only one variety of rosebush, or apple tree, or whatever, has a strong enough root system to grow well and give good results. but you, however, want to grow many different tropical varieties. you could grow the hardy variety until it has a strong root system, then you slice the little grooves and insert little starts from the tropical varieties and now they get to use the big tough root system that is the only one able to get what they need. the grafted "limb" gets to utilize the strength of the root system, but it does not change its DNA or take on traits from the plant you graft onto.
I'm not saying this topic isnt very cool. I think its sweet that anyone has done this, but i dont think it will make much difference in the final product. since cannibinoids are formed on the surface of calyxes and does not run through the plant like sap, it would be impossible for any psychoactive properties to be passed on by grafting. there could be uses for this in marijuana however, more research definitely needs to be done.
A possible application for this might be something like grafting branches from a very tall sativa onto the trunk/stalk of a short hardy indica and see if you could get big sativa buds on a trunk that isnt 10 feet tall. anyway, keep up the grafting.
