i know a wise old gentleman farmer who swears by the efficacy of the graft method in all variety of plants including the cannabis family, having seen it i get it and the end product is the truth... however it only has approx 10 to 25% success rates for the graft actually thriving, and there are a variety of shocks and unexpected consequences with this method... i'm waiting until i hit the 50's before i really do it large scale... great post!

so are you saying you could cut a finished female plant that has fully flowered a few inches above dirt and insert a cutting of same female plant and it will grow from that root ball???????????

Now THAT is an interesting concept, and an actually practical use of this technicuqe, if it would work. You would be able to WATCH that thing growing!

that seems like a depressing low success rate. i wonder if there is a method that we could use to improve that to maybe 50%?

Yes! this is what i'm talkin' bout! we need some real intrest and initiative. now take that concept and X2. graft together two (2) healthy root systems and then graft seedlings and clones onto that. this would be used as a mother root system, we could graft seed/clones to it all day and keep them in 12/12. roots don't even have to be the same kind of strain or plant for that matter. if you timed it right you could almost have a continuous harvest. i'll try to map it out and post that.

as somebody who has experience grafting, i'm going to have to tell you that on a plant that indoors will only live long enough to flower then die, grafting is not worth it. they are a pain in the a@@, have to keep moist at all times, then is shocked and must be babied until hardened off, and have so many chances to fail that really the only chance to reap the rewards is when putting a variety of tree onto a better rootstock or maintaing the genetic in a plant that going to live 10, 20, 100 years, not 3 months. Thats my .02, and I will continue taking cuttings cause they work for me and I'm a fanatic. I get kicked out of public gardens for clipping off everything and putting them into a wet paper towel in my coat
