Treetop grafting

it's been tried years ago, according to mel & ed's book and it doesn't work. if it did don't ya think we'd all be growing thc-infused hops?

Only to speak about what we know, i'm going to realise it. I've got the canna seeds, i know where to purchase hops seeds, they grow the same, and i keep informed, with pics. All in hydro...

del is right, it`s been done, just think about it, graft a lemon branch onto an orange tree, both citrus family, and that branch will grow lemons only, not orange flavoured lemons. the same holds to hops and cannabis, the hop will be a hop with no thc

graftings for cactus

hello harmonicminor, , i have been watching this thread and have been fasinated by it, i done some experiments about 6 years ago, i tried to do just what you are disscussing, my atempt failed miserabley, however i wernt to be put off and tried the same on loads of different plants, i never tried it with a hop plant, but i did try it with various grapevine strains, i never managed to get the cannabis plant to flower or grow very much but i did keep it alive for the whole season. i might be a littel late as my grape vines are full of grape but i am gonna take some cuttings from my weed and graft them on a couple of my vines to show you how i did it,........ i hope you dont mind, hey i failed trying this, but i am so so convinced that it can be done with the correct plant i just thought you might like to see how far i get doing it, it might not work ,as like i say my grape vines are loaded...... just thought it worth a try again....

............. peace mate ......... happy ...................

hello again harmonicminor
i have just done it jus a few mins ago, here is how i did it, i dont know if it will work again as like i said it is late in the season and the vine is heaverly loaded with grape,

there are a lot of pics i hope you are happy to let me post them here, i just think it could be usefull.......

first pic shows , the tools of the trade, are a very sharp knife, a bowl of tepid water, a roll of waterproof insulation tape, and a bog roll.....
2nd shows the plant i want to take a clone from,
3rd shows the me taking the cutting
4th cuttings in the tepid water, its realy inportent to use tepid or at the most luke warm water. i will post some more pics straight after this..
.................. peace happy.................

hello again,

5th pic is the donor grape vine, i chose a fairly shady spot, so the midday sun wont cook it....
6th pic shows where i wanted to attempt this graft to take place, i chose here just as i chose where to take a clone on the weed plant. for best results you will need a supple shoot, there were not that many available on the vine, so i used this fresh sprout....
7th pic is the splice, i cocked up first time and cut the vine sprout off, so i done it again, realy the graft should be a little longer but i was worried about chopping this one off too. i kept it close to the node but far enough away to be able to tie it up, i just sliced the knife downward cutting into the vines stem not to deep just enough to create a flap of stem
8th, shows doing the same with the weed, only difference it was in the oposite direction, its inportent to not go to deep....
more pics to follow in a minuet peace happy ....................

hello yet again

the 9th pic shows the two coming together. i just sliped them together like you would do a jigsaw puzzle. the outer flap of the weed must be stuck against the inner stem section and visa-versa .....
10th pic shows a golf ball sized lump of soaking wet bog roll wrapped firmley around the joint, its importent that the contacting sufaces of both the weed and the vine are tightly together,
11th pic shows water proof insulation tape wraped fairly tightly around the bog roll ball, this is difficult as the water gets on the gluey side as well, but i just kept going and eventauly i got there.
12th pic show the final joint, tied off with plastic ties,

i know there are better stuff than bog roll but i did not have any spagnum moss handy, the bog roll i use is bleach free lol, if its good enough for my arse then its good enough to grow plants in lol hahaha,. i realy dont know whats going to happen this time, if i can keep it alive again long enough who knows, like i said before i have never managed to get the weed to flower, i have managed to keep the plant alive for a season, and managed to fuse the two plants together, it might be possible to get a vine growing indoors under lights and fuse the two together for longer, well i hope you are ok with me posting these pics, i just thought i would give it another go and show you all that sometimes you can do some realy strange things with weed,
peace to you all ...................... happy .........................

see now we are talking. yeah thats really cool of you to add some tips and pics. now that we know it can be done with grape vines I dont think other grafts will be out of reason. I think I will try a maple graft this week then. I will post pics too but im not going to do anything as high tech as yours but I will use proper cuts and wrap thread around the graft or something. maybe even plain old duct tape to hold in the moisture.

hey did you smoke the grapes maybe they were moby grapes
