Grafting plants?

Grafting is definitely possible with Cannabis. As always Chimera would be the best person to get info about grafting drug cultivars. He'll know what's been done and the possible benefits and outcomes.
 
google for youtoube video with "urban grower" and "crafting" !

thats a nice video with a plant that have i think 7 strains on.

I remember reading somewhere that Cannabis/hemp can be grafted to roots of the hop plant/Humulus lupulus.
 
Check out the book Marijuana Botany by Robert Clarke. Has a very cool approach to grafting outlined in there, basically revolving around starting several seedlings of different strains in one container, then bending the main stems across one another and grafting them together to make a multistrain plant.

Additionally, it seems, to me at least, to be one of the more scientifically discerning and accurate cannabis books out there.

On a very basic level, you are attempting to get the cambium layers of different plants oriented together in such a way that these highly differentiable cells fuse together as a single tissue. Some of the cells in the cambium layer are sort of akin to the stem cells you hear talked about in medical debate, capable of performing many different cellular roles, as their identity has yet to be determined (differentiation). Very roughly speaking of course.
 
This is the picture that is in the book.

Sorry it's so small, but it gives the idea. I thought it was cool because I always thought of grafting in terms of basically taking a cutting from one plant, and grafting it end to end with a stem on another plant, or tree, or whatever.

This is just another take I hadn't considered...don't know though, maybe it's pretty commonplace in the horticultural world.
 
I think it would be neat to do that with a male and a female, then let it pollinate and see what kind of plants the resulting seeds would grow.

Sounds stupid at first, but you never know.

My experience with grafting cannabis tells me that it'd be exactly the same as flowering both the male and female at the same time,..... just saying.



Here's a shot of my flowered graft,....

And a link to another grafting thread on this site,...

I started grafting much the same way, and have the same end result that Methias is hoping to achive, one stem, 4 strains. Now that I've got my flowering experiment out of my head, it's time to get back to basics and start up a new mom, or keep adding to my old one! :blowbubbles:

I'm trying a graft like you posted there,... no pics of it yet. In my instance, I'm just looking to see if it will work on cannabis, so I've got one branch trained down and taped to another on the same plant Bonsai style,... been there a couple weeks and both stalks are doing well, but I don't know if they've fused yet.

Cool, cool man. Figured that to be one possible outcome. Never grafted, never made seeds myself, so I'm not much use.

Just something I started wondering about when I was thinking about pollinating a while back.
 
food for thought......... and willing to take any input............. cut two plants say 1'-2' tall down the middle and tape or zip tie them together and have a half and half fully fused mother?? also i heard that in alot of fruit tree grafting it demineralizes them does this carry over with cannabis???

any input??

Most everything i've found of grafting cannabis has been doing small grafts of 2-3 nodes,.... If you can figure a way to graft 1-2' tall scions I'd LOVE to hear it!!!! :dance013:


As for the whole fruit tree grafting thing,.... WE ARE NOT TALKING ABOUT FUCKING FRUIT TREES!!!! ;) :tiphat:
 
hah i was wondering if it effected growth, bud quality and resin production as far as fruit comment lol would make a killer case studie

When the graft is used as a mother or Mum,.... No,.... the growth and effect of the clones taken from the grafted mom seem to reflect the original scion.

What happens to a grafted scion when flowered?..... well. I haven't tried it yet.:shucks: gimme a minuet,.:bongsmi:
