marijuana grafting

Awesome read misslilly.
As for the hash, the type of extraction would depend upon whether the 'drug content' was produced in trichomes or within the leaf, in which case it would have to be a solvent extraction.
Just for giggles, try smoking hops sometime as a 'green screen' for hash, or alone. It's quite simliar to, but gentler than, a sleepy indica strain. Lovely against insomnia.

Hey Stinkyattic, Thanks. I read about the hops/MJ grafting quite a few years ago in this book. Thought about what a stealthy way to produce THC. I could just imagine having this growing around the house and knowone knowing what your real reason for growing it was. "Oh ya, thinking about making my own beer and wanted to grow the hops organtic". Back then I didn't know anything about growing or making hash and I just started studying seriously about 6 month's ago. This was my second year with an outside garden and i'm not the type of person that does things half-ass. If i'm going to do it I want to do it right. After my response to the post I went to E-Bay to look for seeds and read about all the medical uses for hops and how close it was to the cannibis plant, quite fasinating. I've thought the same thing about the "drug content" and where it is or how the plant's produce it. Need to do some research on it (someone must have tried it before i'm sure) and I plan to try it during the next years outdoor growing season. Probably start inside to do the grafting (something i've never tried on any plant) and get them started them move them outside. A couple important factors I would like to find out, Does the quality of the MJ plant matter since you are only using the root system and if the MJ plant is say 15% THC how much of that transfers to the hops plant. It said the hops plants leaves contained as much as the hemps leaves so it makes me think it would. Bummer it's not in relation to the buds. Until I saw that I figured it would be in the fruit of the hops plant. So I guess it wouldn't be so great for smoking the leaves themselves. Only one way to find out for sure I guess. My first thought of making beer wouldn't do any good if there's no THC in them. I like your idea of smoking the hops and will surely try that when I have some. A couple of last thought's, using the leaves for baking and other recipe's in place of MJ. Or maybe making Green Dragon with it. But does it also contain the THCA to be converted like MJ ? Any thought's on this or does anyone out there know ? Oh ya, one more. What is it in the hops themselves that does the trick ? And would it be possible to extract it and make a product like we do with Mj to make hash ? And end up with a more consentrated and cleaner smoke ? Lot's more research to do I guess, I think I should just retire and work on it.

nice link. a pity...

btw, anyone have an actual picture of grafted cannabis??

[misslilly]

Doing a quick search I see if I could find a photo I found that Stinkyattic had already posted the info from that link back in Sept. 2006. Sorry for the repeat.

stinky i'm pretty sure you know everything

[marijuanavillebilly]

so you can graft cannabis to humulus. humulus is geneticly related to cannabis. so why cant something with the same genetics be grafted together? i know somebody is growing right now and if they have a couple male plants they should: 1. cut the foliage from one side of the plant. 2 do the exact same cut to the other plant. 3. walk away for a little while, and come back the cut should be all sticky and slimy. 4. heres the fun part, get a shit load of twist ties, or zip ties and then hold the plants cuts flat together from the bottom first then zip or twist tie them together then move up a little bit and repeat keep doing this till the plants are held together. when spring hits next year ill do this again and post pix. best of luck.

dont be sorry. its a good link, and not many people read year-old threads (i admit-it would prevent people always reasking questions, but it doesnt happen...)

you dont usually attack the sides of 2 plants together. usually you take a branch or a cuple inches of stem, cut a bit into the host plant, and tape/tie/glue/etc the branch/stem section to the cut and it will hopefully graft and become a part of the host

[marijuanavillebilly]

thats the norm. i went outside the box. 2 rooted plants can be joined to become 1 plant that is rooted in 2 places. just give it a go with some males, log the grow and test the possibilitys. its males you where gunna torture them anyways.
