Grafting?

[canniwhatsis]

Anyone else tried this? :rastasmoke:

Interesting vid here,.... grafting marijuana - Videos - The WEED Report

I've followed the basic advice from 2:50 to around 3:40 and here's my results of splicing an AK-47 cutting to a shoot off of my blueberry mom

I used surgical tape to hold the graft in place, and originally left all the fan leaves on the cutting.

Pic 1: Just after cutting,... still test fitting and figuring out the best way to seal the bag up. (It's hard to see but the tape joint is mid picture! )
Pic 2: The graft wilted horribly, I didn't think it would make it, so I trimmed off all the larger fan leaves and left only the top growth and branch nodes.
Pic 3: My current blueberry bonsai mom,... can you see the graft?
Pic 4: There it is! It's growing happy, no humidity bag for the last 3 day's and growth is showing on every node of the graft, so tonight I pulled the tape off the joint.
Pic 5: There's the joint/ scar,... it's covered in random growth,... with luck now that I've removed the covering of tape it will just scar over and the cutting will continue to take off.

And after 2 day's without the humidity bag the White Widow is a success! :clap:

I pulled the tape off, painters tape is a LOT easier to remove But the wound looked like it was still a bit open,... so I coated it with grafting wax and haven't seen any ill effect.

The wax is interesting,..... not quite solid, not liquid or putty by any means either, kinda like solidified honey?:wtf: Next time I'll use my heat gun to warm some into a more liquid form before spreading it. (Fancy adjustable SnapOn one! ,... It'll go so low as to dry your hair, or so hot as to actually set wood on fire simply from the heat! (1000* nozzle temp)


I've got some SERIOUS Bonsai training to do with her! Which is gonna be difficult to say the least, many of the stalks are getting very woody, and getting new growth nodes to where I want/need them to be is gonna be a twisty mess of stems.

But I want to put her on the back wall of my vege area, and train the different strains out along the wall if possible.

Sorry for the chitty cell phone pics, wife hid the camera after the last time I shot bud porn and got resin on the lens

Pic 1: All of her
Pic 2: New addition to the family!
Pic 3: Here's my ID idea everything above the node the ID is at is whatever strain the ID say's.


P.S. I partially split the Durban stalk trying to train it to the side, so it's lashed together and waxed up to seal the wound,.... none of the new growth seemed to even notice it! :hippy: (happened 4 day's ago) I'll have to figure out a way to support the stem lower in order to train the top the way I want to.

Great job on the grafting. Told ya that grafting wax is the shit.

You should tell your wife to stop hiding the camera, or you're going to start hiding the buds.

P.S. Congratulations on the sticky. :thumbsup:

[canniwhatsis]

This is a technique I'm going to keep working with,... if anyone has any better ideas or suggestions I'm open to hear em!

Very interesting. Please keep us updated with how she grows. Always been curious about grafting. Read an article recently on tissue cultures with cannabis, that's another one I'm really curious to see come around to the mainstream.

Good stuff :thumbsup:
