you can only graft pot to hops. and vis versa. but me and well as others think it isnt very efficent because you have to take part of a pot plant and then graft it to a hop plant. and you have a good chance that it wont even take. i suspose of you wanted to make a mother plant then you could take a well extablished hop plant and graft pot and let it grow.

this would work they do it to fruit trees all the time. they call it a fruit cocktail tree. it grows like five diffrent fruits. with some practice and research i wouldn't see why this wouldn't work. you can buy these trees at home depot.

You could graft it too tobacco and call it "BluntFactory" hee hee
The thing with tobacoo, nicotine is passed threw the roots to the plant so if you where to graft onto the plant the odds are your grafted plant will have traces of nicotine in it unlike other plants i guess this is an advantage just like grafting onto a better weather resistant plant or Insect-resistant Plants, so yeah my best bet would be when your all done your crop (I.E cannabis it will besides having thc it will also have nicotine) i could be wrong but this is what happends wiht other plants like tomatoes ectt..

i heard in a book by, Jorge Cervantes, that grafting cannabis to another plant will make the cannabis plant produce 0% T.H.C...
Thats not true Thc is pretty much produced in the bud not in the stem or roots there was a study done in the 70's done on grafting hops onto cannabis and there where no cases of thc but if you wehre to graft a cannabis plant onto a hops the plant will produce thc then ect ect dont want to go into to much detale

Can't help myself I have to ask, it's no question as to if grafting work or not. I do wonder if someone was to graft into say a corn plant could it produce a flower the size of an ear of corn? A corn plant grows very fast and only grows 2-3 ears. In theory the same as growing a giant pumpkin you pull off all flowers but one. This makes all nutrients go directly to the one pumpkin in hopes of creating a monster. If you was to attempt this same idea with removing all ear and replace one with a flowing stalk could the result produce something the size of a 20oz or 2litter bottle of soda?

hello i have been growing weed for 35 years now started back in 1979 age 14
back in the early 80's took an Indica strain and white widow strain strain grafting the 2 weed plants was very hard
back then 1st you need to know what one is the weaker strain so we smoke the indica found that it is very strong
then smoke some white widow strain very tasting and very strong 2nd took the white widow strain cut 45 degree angle up wards from bottom up then on the indica cut an slit on the stock to the middle were it is hollow slid the white widow strain cut into the indica slit and sealed it off and after a few weeks the white widow indica strain was growing very nice and very good after a few months then cut the white widow indica strain making clones

Why did you want to graft them together?

to come up with new breeds after a few months of grafting the strain you grafted on to that grafted strain starts to take on the Characteristics. of the mother strain when she starts to flower in to bud so in 5 weeks of growing graft to that strain if you know how to and what to do then in 3 weeks the mother is flower to bud the graph starts to take on the mother so by the 10 weeks of your graft do your clones

Interesting ideal, but you would be looking at a 2-3 year plant. but if they were auto flowering and you could make sure no males in shot of the mother plant, then you could self pollinate the main as you want. you just might end up with a plant that produces 3 to 4 different flowers. kinda like a fruit salad tree. google if you never seen one. might try this cause 7 plants in washington sucks. 3 or 4 would count as one plant.

Actually, it will produce nearly the same amount of THC because the scion influences its own development. Cannabis grafts onto hop plants have been shown to produce nearly the same amounts of THC as those who have been grown naturally.

i know how to graft, my grandpa taught me, he had fruit trees that were grafted all to hell. you can graft weed onto tomatoes or any plant with a larger diameter than the scion you're trying to graft. but it won't be worth a fuck. it may flower, and it may not, if it does, the chances of the plant you grafted it to being able to supply what it needs when it needs it are very small, and if it produces any buds at all, they'll be puny, airy crap.
and while you can graft a fresh scion, (the branch you intend to graft) when grafting on trees, you take your scions in the winter, when the plant is dormant, and store them till spring, not a viable option with weed

Check out the articles about "The Tree of 40 Fruits". This only works with stone fruits mostly because it's the type with the most variety. You can do one with multiple types of apples, for example, but they'll all be apples. With stone fruits your anything with a put. Plum, apricot, peach, nectarine, cherry. The list goes on.

I'd imagine it's the same with cannabis. It can only be grafted with close relatives.40-different-grafted-fruits-tree.jpg

Grafting works well on cannabis and I think finding keeper rootstock will one day be as important scion. How much influence does rootstock have on cannabis. Graft a Dr Grinspoon to a big bud and see what you get then try the opposite.

Why graft though? That seems fairly basic. (didn't realize this was such an old thread) I would rather see someone try inter-genetic crosses with pollen. One tree that is related to cannabis from Malaysia or something has edible fruit. That would be interesting to see and taste.

And I knew someone would be up to this.. My fiance and I had hours long conversations about grafting marijuana last night.

I think that there's an obvious market for grafted plants in legal states that allow personal cultivation. Asside from finding an advantageous scion it could really help bolster the variety for people who can only grow a limited number of plants.

Grafting it with an unrelated species is obviously a pipedream but, for example, in Oregon where rec allows 4 four plants you could easily grow 8-16 strains from 4 plants by grafting up to 3 other varieties on to each original plant.

Im curious what sort of dna sharing can happen, if any, with grafting cannabis.. I mean getting variety is fine, but what I really want to look into is the possibility of having say a blue dream grafted to a hindu kush, and not just getting straight blue dream and hindu kush at harvest but also getting some amount of hybridization. If that is even remotely close to possible, then looking into how the genetics mesh together, if its the strongest that prevail, etc.. could be really interesting to me.

If its just sticking a white widow branch on a blueberry kush and only getting the same things then it would be boring to me and not worth my time of even looking into.

There is no hybridization. There's a bit of hormonal influence but it only affects how the plant grows. Not what it grows.

The scion will produce what it will but rootstock in apple and pear are what gives the scion protection from various pests and disease as well as yield. I assume cannabis is no different. The roots dictate yield.
