Grafting?

The results of a grafted scion (donor plant) and a mother plant (stock) does not combine the DNA of both plants to make a hybrid of the two plants. Each part is a clone of the original, there is no mixing of genetic traits between the stock and scion. A cutting from the grafted scion is a clone of the original donor plant not a combination of the two.

Hybrid plants are not created by grafting techniques, but by cross pollination. Many plants are grafted to hardy rootstocks to increase survival and disease and pest resistance, but this technique does not create hybrid plants by combining genetic information.

This is what I'm hoping to prove here in a couple more months as cuttings root and mature. :cool:

If you have any actual first hand experience with grafting Cannabis please feel free to post your results to this thread, that's why its here! ;)

So in theory you could also have one plant that is male and female?
Would there be any adverse effects of grafting a male cutting to the mom?
This would be handy if you had a strong male you wanted to keep around for breeding.

In theory that wold work,... my problem with males is even tho I'm 18-6 in vege, the sacks keep opening! :mad: I'm gonna wind up with seeds on my mother plants! :eek:

I was wondering that as I typed that last post.

Still interesting though. In theory, you could graft a male branch, let it mature through to pollination, and use a baggie to guard against a catastrophic release, harvest your pollen, and then remove the branch. Interesting.

Or if your doing all your girls at the same life cycle, (Starting flowering at the same time,) just let the male node do it's thing for the first 2 weeks then cut it off. Should have plenty of good seeds in the bottom of the buds, then good seed free buds up top. (taken from OH's breeding program ;) )


Won't work in a perpetual harvest room, but I notice that not many seem to be running a perpetual grow, so thought I'd toss that out there.

Well Canni, I made my first attempt today... and my second. :D

I'll spare ya'll the gory details of the first attempt. It did include much cursing, as well as the mutilation of a perfectly good clone. (The HORROR!) :wtf: Seems like two hands aren't enough!

I imagine it gets easier...right?! :rolleyes:

Anyway, this is Magus Genetics "Warlock" supplying the framework. I topped her a couple times to get her ready for her role in this.
The first graft is Dinafem "Critical+".

The Critical+ cutting is about 6" long, loosely wrapped in some cling-wrap. Since there was some grafting wax here from some other project, figured I oughta seal 'er up. :thumbsup:

I'm crossing my fingers. :rolleyes:

Nice! My fingers are crossed that it works for ya! :thumbsup:

I just made an attempt to get a vannilluna shoot onto my grafto mum,.... 4 day's now, and it's not totally wilted, It actually seems like it's gonna work.

I used a really small shoot for the graft tho, so it'll be a while before I can use it as a mother.

My camera batteries are dead at the moment, but I'll try and get some pics this week.

So basicly I could grow all my strains on one plant:wtf:

White Black sour hindu diseal domina purple skunk:wtf: I bet shed smell to high heaven:D

neat shit canni, neat shit:thumbsup:
