I've been meaning to ask some of you experts out there. Say one of your plants breaks close to the base or has root rot for instance. Would it be possible to cut a tomato plant you buy at any garden center at the base and transplant your plant to that new root base? Just curious to know if this is possible. Thanks

heres what i know you graft it to a stem and root system like say a tomato stem. but say a plant thats better at flowering than cannabis. so in theory you will get better bud. do get my drift its hard to explain glad you brought it up this grafting.

Good stuff, now the stem of the other plant does it need to be a similar thickness? How do you cut the plant a V shape or just \ down the side. Do you use dental floss or tape or what to fasten them? Does it need any sort of chemical or organic adhesive. I've just been really curious about this as a sort of emergency back up plan. Thank you for your response by the way. Appreciate the input.

the way you do it is to cut a v on the part your grafting then split the plant ur grafting to then insert the graft tie it close to hold the graft about like a pincel in a sharpiner.then hope for the best that it takes. only seen that done on fruit trees

When grafting, the rootstock has to be a related species. The only other plant in the family of Cannabaceae would be the hops plant (Humulus). The hops plant has a rhizome which is a different kind of rooting system and is more likely to terminate the traumatized shoot and grow a new one rather then successfully graft. The best route would be to graft onto another cannabis rootstock, perhaps keeping one of your male plants(isolated of course) just in case, or sacrificing a weaker plant. I should mention however that I have never done this (nor am I an experienced gardener) I was just recalling a paper I read when I was interested in the topic sometime ago.
