Thank you!

Love everything about these experiments! Nice work!

Regarding Exp. No. 7 (Embryo implantation): If the seed were germinated any further, do you think it would take? The newly cracked embryo went into callous mode but would anything slightly older form a bond with the cambium of the rootstock? Or would the nutrient content of the existing rootstock be too much for the newly popped seedling?

Here's my grafted monster. The root stock is a bag seed. The strains/hybrids grafted to it are Kurple Guerilla, Blueberry and Blue Cindy. The grafts are all growing strong.

I'm going to veg it out for a month or so then throw her into flower.

Hi bsgospel,
I'm not sure if it would work with a slightly older seedling... I would have to give it a try. However, at this point, it would probably be just more efficient to just cut the steem of the newly seedling above the roots and graft it to your rootstock. The idea behind the seeds embryo grafting was to bypass the plant limit legal restriction in grafting plant material that does't have any roots developpement...

Here is an update on the 7 scions graft experiment. All 7 grafts took quite easily. Unfortunately I gave the plant away before taking any picture after its acclimatation period. :(

Roots base:

I did some lollipopping at the base of the plant. Then I exposed the cambium where the contact were to be made and I wrapped all trunk firmly together. I used principally LST and SupperCropping to help lower to canopy...

Here is an update on the multiple truck fusion. I should have made deeper cut in each truck to expose the cambium more and bind them tighter at the contact point. However, this plant is going to end up growing outside next summer so it would have way enough time to fuse to a single trunk. BTW, I trimmed several branch of this plant several time and kept it in a really small pot since I wanted to keep small before the summer time (lack of space).












The last picture is just a clone of a Biker Kush leaning pheno of my BikerKushX((GG4X(GSC forum cut x Arcata Trainwreck)) project. 18 female plants were selected from a 1000 seeds run. The originals plants (18) are going in flowering mode real soon! May be interesting.

Incredible post

Im thinking about the mantain strain (Nanda Devi for example) with a little number of plants. I want say with 2 plants, graft and have with one plant 6 plants, now 2 plants 12. So the genetic neck bottle (i dont know if it says of this form), will be better with only 2 plants.

What do you think about this?, im not so great grower and im not secure about this.

And, who be the patron...if is the male probably he dead faster or no?
May be better get all of the females and get the pollen of the male from other plant?

And finally....how are these cannatatos

An update on my grafted girl 8 weeks into flower. She grew just like any other plant. Zero issues with her.

The whole plant



Blueberry 1



Blueberry 2



Blue Cindy



Kurple Guerrilla...lowest graft and not getting enough light.
