Grafting?

[canniwhatsis]

As of 24 hours later this new graft is perky and seem's to be doing well.


I will be pulling the bag in the morning and misting everything to maintain humidity and allow for CO2 flow to the leaves. :glugglug:

this thread is cool cant wait to see the finale results.

[canniwhatsis]

Thanks man!


Final results should be a Mum I can keep for the next 10+ years that has several strains to pick and choose which flavor I want! I'm going to start training the AK47 shoot off to the side,... it's on the very top, and I don't want it shading the remaining Blueberry shoots!

I'm not going to even attempt to flower "This" plant,... tho once some clones vege in a bit bigger I'm thinking of grafting a branch to one of them just to see what happens in flowering.

I'll try and get new pics tonight the graft looks great! :rastasmoke:

Pulled the bag off and gave the graft some fresh air and sprayed with some water. Things are looking good and it seems as tho this is yet another success! :hippy:

Pic 1: My Mum! :rastasmoke:
Pic 2: The AK shoot.
Pic 3: The new Durban Poison shoot.

are you using LEDz for Lighting?

[canniwhatsis]

Glad to see your still around Ben!

Yep, 120w LED hanging over head,.... still trying to feel it out for ideal height from the plants.

Got a question........To make a multi flavored mother would only
the tops of the flavor plants be grafted to the host

[khyberkitsune]

As far as genetics changing, it happens with roses. Grafting red stock onto yellow stock will produce multi-colored roses. I don't see why it couldn't happen with cannabis, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Over time, though, I've seen roses lose their mix and become like the root stock. Given how short-term cannabis is, I doubt it'd happen.

I'll try again,

If a cutting is rooted it is a clone

if that same cutting is grafted it is a graft

I guess what I'm asking is "what makes a mother plant"

It is simple if there is only one plant but when you start grafting I get

confused.......can you use any cutting or should you only use the very

top of the flavor plant?

I'm not sure if you watched the flick, but this is kind of like what they do for seedless grapes.

[canniwhatsis]

Ben, I think Kitsune was referring to this post?

all this about crossing genetics?

i know i've broken a couple colas completely off and just used some duct tape and bandaged it up. no setbacks at all just grew a knot there where it forged itself back together. very awesome to know that works!

i always wondered if you did that with two different strains what would be the outcome, lol. either gene domination or some cool cross strain buds. sounds delicious anyway.

Anyway, to answer your question,...


Pretty much any branch node can be taken as a clone, and or grafted to another root stalk.

So it's not really the "Top" but it is the top of a branch.

The root structure is the "mother" I suppose,... tho each node that has been grafted should/is technically it's own mother for that strain.


I haven't destroyed my original ungrafted mother's of the strains that I've done,... I want to take a cutting off of a graft, and the original mom and set them to flower side by side and see if the flavor changes? :hippy:
