    I'm just starting a grow room, and I have talked it over with my mother who says she has graft plants before, and i was wondering if it was at all possible to graft a nice cannabis plant with...say a strawberry plant. If so, would the strawberrys grow or would they just grow buds, i'm somewhat confused, but in the near future I plan on going through with this experiment. If anyone has any input, or has tried this, please help, thnx

    i was thinking of maybe a strawberry plant, or some other plant, with or without fruit, i was wondering if it was possible...i think it would be swell to have a strawberry plant that also produced budz...but i'm not sure if it will work.

    Tried it numerous times but no success. The tissue is different with strawberries. Your best best (from what I have read) is with barley hops. Ed Rosenthal has written a short piece about this.

    I have heard of this being done with tomato plants, sage brush and a few others. But not strawberries. I am not sure how to go about the process, but if i come across something, i will let you know.

    The reason for grafting on plants is some plants don't have a hardy rootstock like Roses or grapes, cherry trees .. The rootstock used is relative plant . Like putting a bing cherry on a hardy wild cherry rootstock .. If grafting would work and it won't.. Grafting would be senseless..

    yea its easy firs you get your plant cop off the top then graft a hops plant to it and youll get hops with THC in them

    No you won't, there is no transfer of genetics in a splice or graft.

    dude is right.
    The plant closest genetically to hemp is the hop plant.
    Grafts have been done with hop plants, and the pot branch continues as pot and the hop plant continues as hops.

    So basically i'm stuck growin' just regular ole' budz, i guess if it worked somebody would have done it sooner, well, i think somethings burning, better go catch one...

    the hop plant is a vine that is trained up a length of rope.  its like a cousin to weed or something similiar.  grafting herb onto a young hop rootstock and pruning the hop plant down to force growth into the pot coule be succesful?  eh?  that would kick ass.  it could be trained in any direction, hell you could even get some home brew running.  i know you can put diff apple varieties on different apple rootstocks that is, not hop vines

    would it work if you got your weed and graft it onto the end off a mango tree branch then it would be getting fed through the mango tree a flavour the budz a bit maybe?

    love2toke your best chance to add flavor to weed would be to get soil from different area .. Although This will have limits also..Still no point to grafting ..

    well, i guess a simple question has grown into a stupid thread, thanks to certain people, love2toke, if you want to try watering your plants with mango juice, by all means, go ahead, cross ur fingers that they grow

    hey frizbi if your implying that i turn a simple question into a stupid tread F U there would be more chance in flavouring buds with puree or juice than trying to graft onto a fuckin strawberry why dont you try doin it onto a mushroom!!

    Plants must be of the same genus, I think that's the level, to be grafted. And even then, it's a crap shoot. In other words, the two plant have to be somewhat related.

    My grandfather had an apple tree that had 15, Yes, 15 different vareties of apples on it.
