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
