Ok, This works with avacados and lychees (its a fruit) but im not sure if it will work will buds, anyone with info or if someone has tried it lemme know. Any way, after i establishing that i have 1 male and 1 female plant, i decided to try this, (results are as of yet unknown). So what you do is chop the male about 3 inches from the soil, and split the leftover stem (the one still in soil). Cut a branch off of the girl, and trim the cut into a spear shape. insert the femal spear that i have created into the male stem at the bottom... tape, pray... thats it. like i said, it works with avacados and lychees, and it grows whatever plant is on top... here goes
Well i would think that the plant would already have a root system to work with instead of having to develope its own. Thats the only benift i can see. Besides the fun in trying.
that is the point, the cutting does not have to develope its own root system, and yes, its fun trying. and no, you would not get a hermi, the plant develops as whatever the plant on top is.
give it a try if it is anything like fruit trees it will take like two days for them to merg and the graft to take just make sure that both of the cuts are fresh and use a clean razor man let u know how it goes cause i have been wanting to try for a while but havent had the chance yet
I agree, what have you got to lose? It won't cost you anything to try and might actually work. Give it a shot and keep us posted. Some interesting possibilities if you get it to work. Picture one plant with 4 different kinds of weed grafted onto it. Efficient? Maybe not. Fun to try? Hell yeah. If it works? Be cool as shit....."These are some pics of my GrapefruitBubbliciousNorthernLightsHaze plant" LOL!!!
Yeah man I have seen it done with all sort of woody plants. It is called grafting and all the named varities of such things as roses and shit are all grafts onto other root stock. You will need some grafting compound you can get at your local nursery if you want a real chance of success. Without it your success rate will be like 15%. I used to hybridize (cross pollinate) roses with great success but grafting requires a very sterile environment. Good Luck (look below for the definition of LUCK)
I looked into it a couple years back, but realized it was very hard to get MJ to graft. It's a soft plant which makes it hard I was told, as well Longtimetoker mentioned, you'll need everything to be sterile, your blade bandage area around the cuttings etc. There was some info on it, i forget where now, perhaps it was on the OG FAQ, it was so long ago now. Good luck, the possibilities are very interesting.
I remember back in school they used to grow grape vines. Most grape vines are grafted, and down in the Agriculture section of the school there was a lab where the grafting was done. Most of the other propagation was done outside on dirty tables doing hundreds at a time. I never got to do any grafting as i kicked out for taking hash to school
ya... when i was working in the fruit orchard i grafted lychee trees out in the feild, think about it, how sterile can you make the outdoors. remember, you are doing this with a fucking 5-10 foot fruit tree, theres no digging it up and moving it to a sterile environment, anywayz, both my mj plants turned out to be females anyways, so i wont be trying this grafting thing this time around..
One major problem that I can see with this method of doing this is, your plant grows with the root mass being equal to the size of the canopy. Pretty much, when you trim you plants, the roots stop growing until the foliage catches up to equal out the masses. If you trim too much then you possibly face root rot because now there lots of root not being able to function. So, where as you have an established root ball and you cut off the whole plant and trying to splice in a clone, i think that those roots will rot before that clone can handle the nutrient uptake that the root can provide. I know I'm being kinda bland with my explanation, but I have to jet out the door in a minute. Over all, I think the plant will start to grow, but eventually die because of too much root rot.
