well i have wanted to try this for a long time but never wanted to sacrafice a large enough female plant to do it .well i had to get some males out of my growroom and decided to try with 1 that i had cloned awhile ago so i chopped it down to about 2 inchs above the root ball then i split it with a knife picked 3 cutting shaved the outer green layer of the stem off down to the pith or the white part of the stem then little into that not much just a little placed all three side by side and duct taped them tight and sealed it off the best i could and gave it a misting every day. well that was 4 days ago and all look well had to pull a couple bigger leaves cause they were evaping too much moisture then they perked back up . well here is some pics has anyone tried this couldnt find much about grafting just a few thing for mj related grafting and not much at all about grafting to a male root stalk i just want to use to mother not planning on flowering but ya never know .

its in english i figured i would get a few wtf's . if doesnt work oh well move on to next experiment but if works i can have lots of strains on hand with less mothers less expense to keep the mothers alive less space they will take up not to mention the plant number decrease so i can see many benefits if this works and dont see why it wont might take a couple tries but at least im trying and im sure at some point someone will find this info helpful this is only reason i made the thread maybe some time the info will help someone maybe not .

Well it's still alive hopefully just a couple more weeks and it will take might pull the tape back in a few days just to see what's going on underneath.

This will be great if it works! We have an apple tree that has three kinds of apples grafted to a doner apple tree. We get the variety pack of apples every fall.
Would be good to try to find a specific plant that developes a massive root structure to start with.

It can be done. I had one Grafted Pineapple Express with a WhiteWidow insert on it. The main reason was space limitations. The purpose to have a 1 Mother plant to provide with different strains clones. I harvest her two weeks ago, after been 6 months working as a 'MOTHER'.

The trick to Graft (IMPE) is keep the 'Humidity' at all time high while you graft.

Grafting is possible, its just a plant right !

Right on first pic I have seen of someone that flowered a grafted mj plant I give u sir 2 big green thumbs up that's cool how did they react to flowering the same as clones taken from them or did they have more nutrient problems due to 1plant requiring different nutrient levels than the other . I would like to do this with a few more plants that way I can have all my phenotypes of my Tahoe on 1mother all my kalishnapple kush on another and not have to get rid of any phenos unless they just suck.

That was the original idea, behind this project. Having one 'HOST' plant and multiples inserts of different strains. As long you keep the Grafted plant in Veg., you should not have too much trouble with the nutes. They will take the food very good. During flowering deficiencies arise between one and the other. However; in order to have multiples strains and space is a factor, I would recommend 'Grafting' 100%.

Yes sir sounds like you've got an experiment on your hands. Goodluck!

it most deff will work... just dont know if it will cause stress to make some hermis .. or if because of it being male.. it still produces the chemicals that make it male.. then maybe it could affect the sex of the plants making them hermi? alot of factors i guess but id say Grafting has its place.. if u wana have Low Plant Count.. and lots of mothers.. this is the way to go .. but id use a female base for female clones.. i dont know lets see what happens bro good luck!

Also something to def think about is different strains react diffrently to nutes as the grow.
So some thought should also be put into which straines are grafted and possable nute issues.

It will. I did. No hermies. However; it was two females grafted. This is the best method to have multiple strains.

Absolutely true. However; I have found in my experiments. During the Veg. phase, the plants can take pretty much even the same nutrients. I did. However; in flowering is a different tune. But not a complicated problem either. Just keep a general feeding profile and hit their equilibrium. What happen to me was, one the two strains grafted, mature faster than the other. Nutrients wise 'cannabis' have a safe nutrient area, IMO.

However; the purpose of having multiples strains and one root ball is GREAT !

Made another 1 last night did it a little diff tho instead of cutting down to the base I cut down to the base of the four branches to get more cuttings on 1 plant so took some cuts from plushberry 1 and plushberry2 put them on 1 taped it up labeled then did same with two cheese quake phenos gonna do the other two branches tonight thinking space Jill and time wreck . And I'm taking notes on which strains Growth patterns and nutrient requirements are the closest so I can make better decisions on what strains to attach to which root ball I'm not thinking that being a male root stock is going to cause any issues long as I don't flower it . I just have a lot of diff strains and don't really want to get rid of any of them till I can judge them all shoulda thought about that before popping all of them now I'm just trying to keep as many as I can and stay at or below my plant number

even if you where to flower it couldn't you just folier feed the individual plants to correct any problems? or would that somehow pull the nutes into the other plants

Well my tga Franken plant died they withered up on me couldn't babysit it so oh well the host is still alive so I will go for it again the first 1i made is still going . Next time I'm going to do with verging host plant and leave some of the foliage attached to increase recovery time I also think would work better in dwc whenever I make cuttings of plants in dwc the cut weeps water for some time main thing I have noticed is it's hard to keep humidity just right .

Probably a shot in the dark but has anyone tried grafting mj to say a tomato plant or even another type of plant just for shits and giggles ??
