hi all

has anyone ever tried to sex a male and a female plant from two different strains before to create some kind of new strain? and if so how did it turn out? or is it even possible? and how is it done? thanks

welcome to the forum. The only other way to cross strains would be grafting. I haven't looked at any specific information on grafting, too busy trying to learn how to grow properly for optimum yeild. There is enough to learn there to keep me busy for a while. VV

oh right i'll have a look around although like you im gonna learn to grow first lol i was just wondering really whether it was a simply process or not lol

It is done all the time, most pot seeds nowadays are cross bred. The how part is easy....find a father who has triats you like, do the same with a mother, than cross pollenate. In no time at all you'll have a strain named after you too!
Actually to have a stable cross breed, it has to be several generations deep. I forget how deep it has to be off hand.
As far as the pollenating process goes, its easy enough to collect some pollen, grab a q-tip and paint it on a few of the flowers on the mother plant.

Grafting would have no benefit at all, except for the one plant to be a host for the other, they would not share any characteristics.
I remember when I was younger and lived in AZ, we had alot of orange trees, and one tree had a branch from a lemon tree grafted onto it for our drinks. It was kinda cool.

well you pollenize your females in Mendel-style by collecting the male pollen in food-foil/kitchen-raping reps and put it on our selected breeding plant female... basically simple but in practice i think a bit more tricky:-?

other nice way could be to cross by pollenizing clones of your selected plants and do that with clones of this plants again... would probley speed thinks up with interbreeding for stability:) at least i think so;) :-?

I would still only do it with one female in its own confined space. better yet a clone. Because pollem has a way of flying everywhere you didnt intend for it to go.

if grafting is what i think it is then consider this. i read in the cannabis conessuer that strawberry cough is descent from haze in strawberry patches. also a buddy of mine had purchased some bud that was grown in a nearby corn feild, the buds tasted and smelt characteristics of corn, but how did we get blueberry, juicyfruit, and bubble gum, AND VIDEOMAN SWEET GRAFTING EXAMPLE WITH THE ORANGE TREE WITH LEMONS ON IT. LEMANGE TREE.

I dont believe it would be plausible, genetically, for a plant to take on any charachteristics of nearby plants... I have two cats but have never grown a tail and dont believe I will! If that was possible, maybe pot grown in the redwood forests of No. Cali would be 100 feet tall. Plants are cross-bred and bred selectively to enhance charachteristics such as taste and smell which simply remind us of other things, like strawberries or bubblegum... right?

it seems nobody REALLY knows....I think it may be an intresting experiment. I might have to try sometime in my grandparents raspberry bushes heheh.

if something has a strong flavor to it, it can give aroma to things in its surrounding... like garlic or onion can. but putting other characteristics into a plant which don't come from a close relative is only possible by DNA manipulation:roll:
and to the orange tree, lemons and oranges may still be so close genetically that they can cross the fine red line of nature;)

I totally agree with what you said here green nobody, and I cant see any benefit at all in grafting mj plants. Cross breeding is the only way to manipulate the characteristics of the plant. Grafting is pointless for our application.....unless you want to graft a lemon branch onto my pot plant, that way as I smoke, I can do tequila shots at the same time........okay, who has my bottle of patron?

ok video i had a lemon / orange freak tree in my last housed and it grew the phatest sweetest juciest lemons ive seen in all my life and thats how the old owners said the tre had come areound 10 years of grafting branches at random. (the lemons looked kinda like grapefruit on the outside)

the thing i will never forget was the 2inch thorns it grew from most of the branches!!!! I cant forget the scars they had left over the years growing up there.......

ok the point is they werent normal lemons they were a freakshow. and we had two of those trees but one was like mutated beyond the first and had the optimal fruit with a defense mechanism to match.
wouldnt the luscious and abnormal fruit be a byproduct of the grafting. i remember cutting a branch off and grafting it in place of bark i had removed witha razor blade??

"as for sexing plants ive tried but can never seem to find the hole..."
You made me laugh dude`
As far as your other statement, I have no explanation for you, to be honest. When I had the lemon branch grafted I didnt experience that at all, we just got regular old lemons...so we made lemonade!
Sorry to hear about your scars though.

I believe that marijuana can collect characteristics with other Angiosperm(lookitupidonthavetoexplain) because of relative chemicals found in their gentics. there are other plants that contain chemicals that are found in cannabis. i believe there are species that have generated with other plants such as fruit to fruit, i do not think that there were millions of fruits to begin with. i think they gentically crossbred with eachother to make a new and flourishing fruit and so on. other plants can do this also. have u heard of alpaca. if im not mistaken its a sheep crossed with a lama or something like that, lion and tiger mix, certain seals, bears, fish ive seen and way way more

There are other questions about genetics like how did we get different species like Sativa, Indica, and Ruderalis. Rasta is thought to be a new mother strain too, wierd. you can cross almost anything in life, animals, plants, disease can cross with another, and even as simple as compound words on a paper. things combine to mean one thing. chemicals, mechanics, aerodynamics, mathematics, metals, hair color. We do this to get more advanced, we are not just stuck at one thing. artificial or not u can cross unexplainable things and it will keep going.


PLEASE TELL ME IF I MADE U THINK DEEPER ABOUT LIFE AND IF U ARE SOMEWHAT SKEPTICAL OF YOUR PREVIOUS ASSUMPTIONS TOWARD GENETICS, OR U CAN FEEL YOUR RIGHT ABOUT EVERYTHING
