Hey smokey, I hope you find a good way to fuse the two together, I'm sure you noticed the miny stem doesnt exactly fit like a glove to the bigger stem
I hope you made a more solid attempt at this than me as I may have compromised the health of the cutting with my laziness.
I am surprized to say that the cutting is not dead... but its not exactly flourishing at this point. The stem is actually oozing out juices still, which I find very surprizing. I imagine there must be a product around for patching up slit stems on plants, and that this would be usefull in this process to seal up the rootzone stem to prevent energy being waisted to the bleeding.
So far not too exciting, but there is something else that is. My female plants are vegging out very nicely and are getting quite large. I am beginning to wonder how much longer I can continue this experiment as I am running out of space for this pot. I have also decided to postpone any further experiments until a later date(I'll experiment with the harvested rootzones) as navigating around in my small space is getting very tricky with miscileaneous plants sitting around. Please check out my thread if you'd like to see how my other plants are doing.(in my signature)
If it does survive and decide it wants to grow a little bit, I will be switching the room to 12/12 very soon, so that should be interesting
Smokey feel free to post your progress in this thread, and I would encourage anyone else who decides to try this to post in here as well. If we collectively work at this using slightly different techniques, then we have a good chance someone will find the best way to do it. haha we should make a new contest thread!
Contest: "first person to graft a female cutting onto a male rootzone"
there will have to be a rule about the stem sizes. The male stem must be at least 1 cm in diameter to qualify.
anyways heres what she looked like yesterday... I can't say she looks any better today(a little worse now)
