Masters of the Graft, do you like what you see?
- Thread starter jokou
- Start date
some natural instances allow for plants to develop two sets of roots, such as when suckers fall over or something similar, it its called layering. http://generalhorticulture.tamu.edu/lectsupl/propaga/propaga.html
sex isn't passed on through grafts so there's no trouble there, but i wanted to utilize the male plants roots...

Grafting has all sorts of advantages, and is widely used in agriculture.
The most obvious advantage for me would be to use a small female with desirable characteristics as the scion, and attaching it to a large, robust hemp plant as the root stock. The growth would be dramatic.
this is pretty much what i did, except that instead of the scion being a cutting, it is an established plant.
how do you it will take before it shows signs that it has 'taken'?

I don't understand what is going on. lol, I might be too stoned right now.. I'll check back in later...
the story begins, as all good stories do, on a late august evening, when the sun was just that high above the horizon. the next day, i came home to see a male and a female plant, side by side, coexisting in perfect harmony, and being human, i thought i could do better. so, using my newly gained knowledge on root layering, and having fully functional thumbs, along with some pruning supplies, which include, but are not limited to an exacto knife and a pair of clippers, i devised a plan. not wanting the male plant to die in vain, i planned to utilize its root system by attaching its main cola to a branch of a close by female plant. using my aforementioned thumbs, clippers, and exacto knife, i proceded to graft the top of the male plant, by cutting of its main cola, to a female branch, in hopes that the flow of nutrients on the female branch would reverse, subsequently resulting in two(2) healthy root systems providing one(1) double healthy plant! the fruits of my efforts have, as of yet, not revealed themselves to me. but we shall see.

lol, thanks for the information! That sounds like a great idea, keep us updated!

when i graft i use thread to assimilate the limbs and warm wax to cover the wound . i make a v cut male on one snd a v female on the other . lock them in thread around firmly and wax over the wound and lastly affix a sponge bob band-aid .within weeks the 2 plants form a spectral portal to australia , augmented with popsicle sticks and nickelodian gack . this plasma portal allows for safe passage to the great barrier reef .where bear grills sits to head safe passage . upon arrival one may experience other wonderous ideas such as grafting a spork to the end of ones penace serving as a functional eating utencil as well as a reproductive phalanx . ( caution) feeding 3 toed moss sloths may result in loss of member or eating utencil , use at your own risk. -cor por - zzzzzzzz

so how long ago did you do this? this is a pretty great idea (if it works, if not, well, your an idiot
j/k) really though logically makes since and i don't see why it wouldn't. I don't know how you expect to measure your results? do you have another female near by to compare?great idea anyhow, please keep giving us updates if you notice anything.

i concur, lmfao
operational procedure was concluded 47 hours ago. this horticultural technique was not developed by me, i stumbled across a website called broadroot.com, and some research by the .edu people (http://generalhorticulture.tamu.edu/lectsupl/propaga/propaga.html)so how long ago did you do this? this is a pretty great idea (if it works, if not, well, your an idiot
great idea anyhow, please keep giving us updates if you notice anything.
and other relavent information
lead me believe that this operation would prove beneficial.
there is another female close by, but it is of completely different strain and characteristics.
i would love to see someone willing to conduct an experiment where one plant went under the multirOOt procedure, perhaps with another cannabis plant, but not necessarily so, vs. a control plant.
the perfect ending to this story is a female plant is raised side by side with another compatible plant that could, when the time comes, donate its roots for the cause, eventually establishing a 'master root system' that one could graft clones, and even seedlings onto, allowing the plants to utilize a super vast, healthy root system from germ to harvest, and beyond!
this might be the next evolutionary step in mariahuana cultivation, as positive results from different species of plants has already been documented.
this method works best when the stock and scion are of equal size, however as i am using small branch of a female and the main stem of male plant i used bark grafting. do you graft the main stem of both plants together?
ps. i agree! three(3) toed moss sloths can prove to be quite hazardous to ones health.
if anybody was on board w/ this you might wanna get off now. As i sit here, not only in the agony of defeat, but the somber silence of my humble abode, alas, it wasn't meant to be. but i urge you, my horticultural companions, to pursue this matter in all seriousness and fortitude, in the pursuit of a dream, to venture to the other side of failure, to retrieve hope and restore balance to the universe.
