This is a Kurple Guerilla scion on root stock from a bag seed. I used a side graft/side veneer graft. I have some grafting tape but couldn't find it so just used darpas plastic wrap technique. The tape is just to hold the plastic in place as it kept coming undone. I'll update when it fails/takes.

Things I should've done-

1. Let the soil dry out so there is less "sap" in the root stock...this will up your chances of the scion and rootstock staying lined up correctly
2. Trimmed the root stock
3. Trimmed the scion better

With all this said I'm still confident it will take. Thanks for the inspiration darpa!

I remember a thread.... can't remember where or even how long ago!haha it was about placing seeds in a stinging nettle plant out in the woods or field. I think they tried twice but both were failures. The nettle had hollow stems and they would just cut the top off an stick a seed n it. I believe that the OP was young. Not because of the idea! I give him props for thinking out of the box. young because I got the impression he was tip toeing around his parents property trying to grow some (looks around and whispers) weeeeeeed!

Thank you for posting Darpa. I really dig this kinda stuff. Looking forward to your updates.

Nice work BombBudPuffa! Nice pictures. I personally don't think that the rootstock need to be trimmed since the leaves bring energy to the whole plant... however I would have cut the apex bud on your scion in order to leave only 2 small auxialiary buds and have an overall smaller scion. From experience, the smaller the scion is, the better the chance the graft will take since there won't be too much water demand (lost). This is the way I'm doing my cloning, micro-clonning that got me about 99 success rate! Thank you for jumping in BombBudPuffa and I will be looking forward for your updates. Best of luck my friend!!!!

Thanks for the advice! I'll make sure and use it on my next attempt(s). This is a really great thread. Glad you started it.

Glad you decided to post in it rather.

Experiment 9: Grafting 2 scions from different strains on a fast growing strain rootstock on which all the branche were removed - Direct scion to main trunk... (This one is pretty straight forward)

So here we go with the pictures:

Rootstock plant trunk cut up about 1.5 inch above ground



Insertion of 2 scion in the V-Cut. (Very important: the the cambium of the scion should be aligned with the cambium on the rootstock)



Binding everything together with saran wrap... ready for the healing process in the dome (5 to 7 days)

I was a lil worried yesterday because the scion had wilted and I didn't put any type of bag over it to keep it humid. I checked in this morning and it was perked up a lot. The scion is definitely still alive.
