Grafting: Would this work, not work, or be pointless?

[stinkyattic]

I was considering trying to graft cuttings from my female plants onto the stumps of my male plants once they're all sexed. What's the worst that could happen?

Interesting concept. Maybe imbed the cutting into a freshly cut root core soaked in cloning gel?

Similar to budding roses onto a hardier rootstock (r. multiflora for example). However roses are a woody perennial and their protected, waxy buds take well to grafting- cannabis buds are much softer and more fragile, and prone to desiccation or rot.

The root idea is a good one in theory but in practice you will find that the same problem that arises when you top a plant too low and expose the hollow part of the stem will plague any attempts to work with a plant that has been chopped.

Given the speed at which a healthy clone grows roots, this isn't really something a viable method to increase your efficiency over traditional cloning. Cool, though!
