Treetop grafting

hi , i never got further than keeping the graft alive for more than a season, if my climate was longer who knows, i dont expect anything to flower and give bud or anything like that, and i certainly aint albert einstien, i just wanted to explain that it can be poss to graft weed to a vine, it must be possible to graft the weed to some living plant other than weed and get it to respond and maybe flower.

humans have have pig livers, hearts, kidneys, and a host of other foriegn parts inplanted into them in aid to save, help or prolong there lifes, now if thats possible whos to say that its not poss to get weed to do something simular, i have successfully grafted multiple weed strains on a donor weed plant and had bud, this might look cranky but if we all sat around taking the piss out of different insperations and ideas then fuck all would get invented.... this thread that harmonicminor has started should not be knocked, it should be incouraged. just becourse a book says it cant be done it dont mean it cant, how long have humans been doing succsessfull heart transplants , its not that long, and they were saying only 30 years ago that it cant be done. and today its an everyday thing.
i truley 100% believe in my heart that it will become possable to graft weed on a living plant other than another weed plant, and other plants not just weed.....

this atempt may well fail, its not a prob i am only doing this to show that it can be done.
i do make my own wine, and i do infuse it with a heavy dose of my best buds whilst it forements, and i can say i have never had better wine, if it were poss at some time to create a vine that has some thc content then how cool would that be, mmmmm

can i have a glass of crystalized chardonay waiter please, hahaha , trust me the day will come, i can feel it it my bones lol ( well whats left of em lol )
........ peace .................. a stoned and drunk happy .............. hic hic !! burp

hehe I was going to ask if you made wine and infused it with some bud.
hey how about Redhaired redwood trees? hehe we can park our cars in the trunk of it and take an elevator to the top. ok maybe we should combine the dna of redwood with indica lol

hi, harmonicminor
wow that would be some tall weed plant, yeah go for it mate, its only gonna cost ya a few clones, i would like to think it could be possible on something like a rasberry bush, as these are very easy to take cuttings off, and they root easy, i think though if you wanted to attempt to put thc into a donor plant then the graft would have to be the other way round like you would need the weed to be a donor plant and the graft should be the subject you wanna change. i dont think its that impossible to graft the weed to another plant, the problems acure when you want it to flower and grow,

i checked the graft this morning day two and its still very much fresh with no signs of any wilting, this means that at the very least the weed graft is taking moisture from the tissue paper, that means its healthy, last time i acheived this it took about 8 weeks to fuse the two i dont think i will have much longer as it will be our harvest time, but i will try my best, if nothing else its fun trying again .............

................ peace .................... happy ......................

happy chappy could you update us in the plants current state of health

yeah sure no probs, just took this pic about ten mins ago, the graft had wilted quite badly this morning, its been very hot here for the last couple of days and the tissue ball had dryed out, i have watered it twice since then and it seems to have picked up again, this little guy is even bending upward reaching for the sun, iwill give it another few days and i will begin feeding it with very week solution, just to give it a little tonic should it not be able to accept the vines juices yet,.... hey guys this brings back some cool memorys,

peace ................. happy ............

why dont you spray the leaves with water with a suitable amount of fertiliser as it will go directly to the plant

hi hubblebubble,
i do spray my cuttings with a mild feed, i wont spray this as its a little to close to my grapes, i can feed it via a hole i have left in the tape, i have checked it and it is still alive, i have not watered it at all for the last two days and its been quite hot here, so its gotta be getting moisture from the vine. there is still a very long way to go, but who knows it might work again, if by some chance that it does work again, i will take the stem that this clone is grafted to and attempt to clone that, so as i will have just a much smaller plant to work with and maybe i could bring it indoors and keep it going a little longer, i will keep ya posted on its progress,
....................peace to ya ................. happy ................

ive often wondered about that grafting strains together idea,dont know where i first read of that but it is like something that ya wish ya could do.

we all want to play mad scientist i guess and create the best of the best.
peace

id be really happy if this works out then ill give it a go myself what what kind of climate are they in happy chappy

hi
in answer to your question i am in the uk ......and the weather is hot at the moment, but could change quickly to heavy rain and cold nights its often cloudy or overcast at the least, but when the sun shines it gets hot.
ok the signs so far are pretty good, neither the weed graft or the vine graft are showing any signs of trauma, infact the weed is stretching upward for the sun, and the leaves at the end of the vine are sill very healthy and are not wilting attall, i was expecting the vines leaves to crinkle and dry up, that would be a sign that i went in to deep with the knife and have stoped its flow of nutriants getting to its extemities, the weather has been very warm here for the last few days and i have wet the tissue a little today just to be on the carefull side, there is still a very long way to go, things could still go wrong.

hi nowhereman,
its easy to graft weed to weed, i have done that many times, mainly for fun, its very easy to graft to a mother plant several strains of cannabis, i cant say that i achieved a new strain however i did get different bud from the same motherplant.
gardeners throughout the world have been grafting different plants for years, roses, fruit trees, various shrubs and plenty of regular household plants, to name but just a few, hey, take a trip to your local garden supplies and take a look at all those standard upright plants in expensive pots, look for a obvious swelling around the bottom or top of the stem, this would have been the graft, this is done becourse it turns an otherwise everyday plant into something that looks real nice, and puts its price up, plant grafting is everywhere its nothing new. it just needs a lot more experiments like this, i wish i had done this earlier in the year i would have a much better chance, but hey its worth another go.........
.............. peace happy ............................
