im in the uk aswell what rooting hormone did you use clonex?
any chance of the latest pictures
hi hubble,
i did not use any rooting formular to do the graft mate, just skin to skin as they say, when i take cuttings i generally roll the wet ends in a little rooting powder made by miricle grow, i cant remember its proper name, but it works well with me, some like the jelly rooting formular, i aint realy tried that yet so i cant say what its like. i guess when i find something that works well for me then i kinda stick to it,
the graft has taken some real heat today its been boiling here and its still standing strong, i have gave it extra water today, not that it was wilting, i just want to keep this alive long enough for it to graft together, i aint bothered about it budding or anything like that, it would be cool to show ya that sometimes it can happen.....
.............. peace happy ......................
when i tryed to clone using that hormone you mentioned all my clones died and whenever i use clonex i get a hundred percent success rate maybe using clonex would help?
if you actually succed in your doings... it will be the start of something new... something fucking great, man... pull this off for all the pot heads across the globe! :)
hi harmonic, hi hubble, hi rastakaze
if your getting on with clonex i say stick with it mate, i also get around 95% of my clones root ok, sometimes it can be a struggle depends what strain realy, i am sure there are hundreds of rooting powders/gells out there some better than others, i just use this becourse it works for me,
thanks rastakaze, i will try and do my best, yes it would be great, anythings possible mate, just takes a lot of time a patience, and hundreds of attempts at things like this before it happens, i did once manage to graft just like this, i am simply repeating what i did before, the only difference this time is that i am much later in the year and last time the bonding agent was spagnum moss,
............... peace ................. happy ....................
hi mates
just a little update on the graft, so far so good, no wilting of either weed or vine tips so at least the the wound i created on both partys has not harmed either plant, also the weed graft shows no sign of rejecting the nutriants that the vine is feeding it with, the grapes are starting to ripen so is possible that there wont be a lot of nutes getting through. its now 21 days since it was done, if the graft does not take i would expect the weed to sprout roots, so if nothing else i should come out with a baby, i wont undo the graft wrapping untill at least the end of the season, i want to give it every chance ...................... peace happy ............................

Have a good one !
i have heard that in the green state they tie the plant (still in the pot) to a trunk,or build a small wood tree fort like platform towards the tops of maple trees to place it on. I know this isn't grafting but it eliminates rabbits deer and hikers and camoflages it pretty well too. What sucks is you have to climb the damn tree! good luck!
hi , yeah i have also heard and read about tree top growing, too much like hard work if you ask me, but its ok i supose if you need the privacy away from priying eyes, i have seen pics of a huge bucket on a purpose built platform sitting high in a tree top, the bucket is sealed, apart fom a hole in the top big enough to allow full growth of the plant, the bucket is complete free of drainage, in the bottom of the bucket is about 4/5 inches of coarse gravel, this is the only drainage the plant gets, the bucket has a hose pipe conected to it at the bottom, inside the hose is a fat wick, the sort you might find in a oil lamp, the hose is tied to the tree and hidden behind creepers and ivy, at the bottom of the tree there is another bucket buried deep enough to hide it, there is a hand pump conected to it, i think the idea is that the bottom bucket is a resivoir, the hose and its wick are conected tightly, the pump will pump water and nutes up in a hurry, and when its not poss to water them freely, the wick sends water up in a cappilery action just like it would in a oil lamp, it looked crude but according to its owner it worked well, he grew this way becourse he had know light, and growing it at the top of the tree gave the plant all the light it needs.
............ peace ,,,,,,,,,,,,,, happy
what about broccoli/cauliflower that weird veg. ...didn't that plant share traits and taste...hminor
hello h/m and all you guys
i took this pic yesterday of the little graft, it is still doing just fine, however it now shows just a little yellowing on the tips of its leaves this could be a sign that its regecting the nutes that the vine is supplying or its not getting enough, i hope not as this just might bump it off, it looks healthy though and is very strong other than that, the vine is almost ready for its first harvest its second harvest is normaly about three weeks after that, maybe it will send the graft some stronger nutes after i have harvested, ....... the second pic shows a apple tree graft, i dont realy know why i posted this, i think i remember talking about what grafts look like, and just how much there used in todays world of gardens and fruit farms, this has grow in my garden now for about 5/6 years its root stock ( lower section of tree) is a slow growing dwarf apple, and the top is a heavy cropping regular russette apple, the result is a great little tree that can be grown in a small inviroment and still yeild a heavy crop, the same thing can be done with most weed plants, if you have the time to mess around.
.................... peace ................happy ..................
hey i got an idea why dont we just graft leaves of other plants on to a cannabis plant and get rid of its fan leaves???????? then it would be disguised. salvia leaves???? hmmmm naturally fused salvinorin and thc
hey happy can you pull the banage from that graft yet? is it flowering?
hi harmonicminor
yeah mate this little graft is still going for it, i have not watered it for over a week, it does not get any rain water as it is shelterd from any rain, and its still looking strong, i did see a little browning at the tips of the leaves, and the last bit of the stalk of the weed graft has started to shrink back, but on the whole it looks cool, i cant really take the bandaged off yet as i want to be sure for sure that its bonded, something must have hapened by now thats deffinate, i cant see any roots trying to creap out of the bandaged so maybe it might be working again. i will take the bandaged off just when its the very last moment before our frosts will kill it, if its worked, i have an even more difficult task of trying to get a clone from the grape vine, if i can then bingo, i will have to do that indoors as the weather is now getting cold, i will keep ya posted as things happen, .......... peace .................happy ..............
maybe next year try it like in early june so it has plenty of time to grow and maybe even flower
hi h/m hi hubble
ok guys the time is coming soon, when i have to either leave the clone still atached to the vine and see how it copes, or i take a clone from the vine and hope i can root it with the graft still atached,........
either way its decision time. my gut instinct is telling me to try and keep it alive in a slightly warmer climate, if i were to bring it in underlights it would proberbly go into shock, so maybe in the green house and sheltered with bubble rap will keep it going for a few more weeks, if i dont do something soon for sure it will die.
i could leave it atached to the vine and some how rig up a bubble rap shelter for it. but then that might drag attension and not be as steathy, allthough thats not a major issue.
the little graft is still alive and has not drooped, it aint grown that much in size, and looks reasonably ok, however it has now started to develop signs that its not coping with the cold nights. its larger fan leaves are really burning with the cold, and its time to do something about it.
i have decided i will atempt a clone from the vine with the graft still atached, i will do this tommorow and photograph the events.
grape vines root better for me around this time of year, so now is proberbly the best chance for the vine to root. if the vine does not start to root i will know fairly quickly.
if it dont work, then i will perform an autopsy on it and see just how things went. that would make good pics also .......
................peace....... happy............
Hey Guys,
Just stumbled on this thread.I've thought about this many times also. I've thought that pure landbased races would prolly be the best donors for this experiment. Just a thought.
This sounds so cool...I wonder what the new leaves would look like?
Maybe if this works, you could create a new hybrid plant species. It wont be called marijuana anymore, so it will be legal for a short while, until the government cracks down.
Good luck, man
Very interesting thread. Makes me want to participate in some experiments too.
Maybe you guys are going about this all wrong....maybe, hear me out. You should try grafting something "TO" the mj plant instead of viceversa. Cause the parasite will become like the host. Therfore, if my theory is right you guys might have more sucees. Good luck and happy growing. :)
what was the end result happy chappy
it has been done
i know this as FACT
It just won't work...
You could find a big tree..build a treehouse type platform..and grow up in the canopy...
You may know it as fact..but we don't...Quote:

damn, iv been talkin about trying this for weeks, any new news??
Nope, no new news since Dec 2005. (this is a really old thread)
I bet it just didn't work.
Celtis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
would probally be the best choice.
It is from the family Cannabaceae.
If you're still alive, I would try sweetgum. I'm not sure of its chromosome number, but if you did succeed, it would be a fragrant ornamental.
What i would reallly like to try is explained here: SpringerLink - Journal Article
a short summary as i understand it is perform open seed surgery, and swap out embryos, so that the transplanted embryo feeds on the other seeds food. I recall reading something about a russian experiment like this in 2005, with wheat and maize, and the outcome was something like three plants in one. there were maize(corn) parts and wheat parts, but also plant growth with a different chromosome count than either maize or wheat. If someone really wants to make some wacky new plant, i believe this is the way to go, especially if you're wanting to cross hops and the good herb with the similar seeds. also, check out humulus scandens, AKA humulus japonicus. that's japanese hops, great candidate for a seed embryo transplant, IMO:)
