Two plants in one!

This is probably going to sound really stupid, and it's probably not possbile, but I was wondering if anyone had ever tried to take two plants from the same mother and cut a branch off each and tie the ends together to see if they can grow together? I'll probably try it at some point just to see if two plants can join together or not, but I was high and wondering crazy things again. I've seen an oak tree split and rejoin making a circle in the trunk so I though maybe it could be possible.

from what you described in your post your asking about grafting one plant onto another host plant,if so then its not a stupid idea, infact its a common pratice with many other plant types ,however i fail to see what you hope to gain from grafting two healthy plants together unless one plant has severe root rott or a root disease that would warrant a graft.

I believe that should work just fine I once grafted a chopped male onto a young tree I think it was an ash tree. It lived until winter hit, didn't grow back the next year though

Yes, grafting is the term that I couldn't think of, I knew that there was a term for it. The reason that I was thinking about this is for legal reasons. I am limited on plant numbers and was trying to think of a way to get around plant numbers. The idea was that if you got two plants grafted together then they become really one plant. I doubt it would hold up in court, but with the right lawyer I think you could get almost anything to hold up in court. I'm not to worried about it, like I said I was just high and was trying to let my creative juices flow. The real trick would be to graft multiple branches so that you could get rid of the root system of the second plant and it could still get its water/nutes. Kind of like a LST ScrOG with a long veg time but without all the time.

If you are going to try to use grafting to help with the number count, I'd try grafting onto well established root stock.

Grafting is not what you are talking about. Grafting is when you use the root system from one plant to support and feed another plant. It sounds like you're talking about taking two clones putting them in the same pot and seeing if they would fuse together, which I don't think would happen. One plant would dominate the other and one would die due to lack of root space. I would say stick to topping. However, if you really wanted to try seeing if they would fuse together go for it. That would make one balling ass experiment.

why not just fim it or top it and get 2 top colas?

if you are trying to get a variation of plants you could just get your legal limit of all different types and keep toping them so they grow many main colas ? im not sure if that would work, just an idea to help ya


[edit] 2 posts up mentions topping, didnt read that part my bad.

I had the same idea. I doubt cops would know the difference. One root mass would be one plant in their eyes and for all intents and purposes it would be. I think two cuttings would naturally graft together and grow more vigorusly than a topped plant. The only downside is that you might get some crowding.

One of my good friends actually roots his clones while they are still on the host mother..I havent asked the procedure yet but im very interrested in knowing..Im sure it just a matter of cutting into the branch and applying a root hormone and them wrapping lightly in a damp clothe..But thats just specualtion until i ask and find out for sure..Sorry if its a bit off topic.. :)

My guess is that if both plants are healthy, one will choke out the other. and suck up all the nutes.

It happens with clones if you leave them too close in trays for too long.

I have a method that I have never shared. It's kind of a secret of mine. I create a Siamese plant.

Your idea will work just fine, in fact I'll be telling my friend to do the same thing :D
Already have a mother plant and will e able to get clones from Toronto Compassion and will just fuse them to the mother plant and once that is working nicely I'll top the mother and let the different clones catch up :)

Here is an experiment. Take your clones, scrape off one side of each stem, put together and put through a small piece of fish air tube and then into you medium. I'll know in a few days if this works.

your talking about air layering. when your numbers are critical, this is a great method to save a few weeks, but is not for the beginner.
