Found this info the other day and was wondering if it could apply to cannabis. Would love to here some theories and ideas toward the goal of bigger production. If it does have potential I think it needs to be exploited

Better root anchorage enables the trees to resist strong winds and other adverse conditions. Moreover, more root system essential in taking in nutrients from fertilizers minimize fertilizer losses to evaporation and leaching.
Gestation period (fruiting) of the young trees is shortened by one half of the normal waiting time. Physiological maturity is also enhanced. A five-year old triple rootstocked tree is comparable to an 8 to 10 year old fruit-bearing tree. As the tree will bear fruit early, producing off-season quality fruits will command higher prices. The tree becomes non-seasonal due to its reinforced nature.
Faster propagation or reproduction of desired variety with lesser mortality, more uniform growth and longer life span can be achieved, thereby, enhancing and prolonging productivity.
Imported varieties of seedlings like jackfruits and guapples will become resistant to phythopthora when double rootstocked with a native variety. It has been observed that latexless jackfruits and guapples and other imported varieties grown from seeds died of phytophtora after 4-6 years
