Apples growers graft to keep the same strain (DNA) around as the seedlings can be totally different from it's parents, the OP is grafting to grow multiple strains from one root stock.I've been thinking about this lately.. Apple growers graft to produce different strains overall, I guess maybe you're crossing the plants with eachother every graft..
It makes a fair bit of sense for mom maintenance in states where plant counts are low IMO.Grafting makes very good sense with trees and possibly some perennials but it makes little sense in an annual. But good luck, I wish you the very best on this experiment. It's always a good idea to try out your ideas and see how they work. I'd be interested to hear if the graft takes and if so what your harvest looks like and how long that takes. Further how do you plan to feed these 6 different strains? Do all of these strains have the same feeding and environmental requirements?
Good luck with this
So what its saying basically is since BB is your main stalk, the added foliage might inherit its characteristics....lets say BB's yield?
I was watching a program where they tried the same experiment trying to gain extra yield on low yielding, high thc producing plants and their results were not what they had hoped for. I know that hes not planning to flower her, well not yet anyway. The flowering frankenbeast looked pretty cool though. Sometimes its not about yield, sometimes is about self gratification. Hope shes still doing well. Good luck.So what its saying basically is since BB is your main stalk, the added foliage might inherit its characteristics....lets say BB's yield?
Hey RainMan, cool project!
I saw this on youtube just recently, and it seems right on track with your experiment:

I had a Great Uncle who created a "fruit cocktail" tree from about 4 different citrus trees back in the 60's.
I could see these becoming incredibly popular with small-scale med folks.
Awesome!

It's day two and the BB looks better than she ever has. It's amazing the amount of light that the entire plant now receives (Now that I tied her down). I will continue to do this to a couple other Mothers. It will be a good project to monitor. The newly attached cuttings are not taking. These three may be 86'd if I don't see hope by tomorrow. I will put three more of the same strains on, but perform a different cut/attachment. If so, I'll update with pictures.Alright im doing my mother plant like that
Give em some time, they might come around. You may want to try doing one at a time next try so its not so hard on her. Hopen for the best man.It's day two and the BB looks better than she ever has.

Yeah agreed. I also started a Purple Romulan on top a Pineapple chunk base. Everything I did this time, was different (cut,sealer, etc). I took your advice just stuck with one. Thank you!Give em some time, they might come around. You may want to try doing one at a time next try so its not so hard on her. Hopen for the best man.
