Grafting a monster mother

scott06

Has anyone tried this or no about it from a reliable source...

the idea is to choose a strain of MJ known for its root and stem stength and then graft branches of several top varieties to it....then you have one mother plant that can give you clones of multiple varieties...sounds cool in theory...but wondered if oneone has gotten beyond theory

This is how they grow roses. All cultured roses are grafts onto wild root stalk. That is why they say to always cover in winter the graft area. If the grafted part, the cultered rose part, dies, the rose will revert to it's wild root stock.
I have read with roses how some growers have grafted many types of roses to one root stock. They also do it with apples and grapes. You can have an apple tree with many types of apples, each limb being different. Now all these are not annual plants. I don't know how this will work as mj is basically an annual. Or at least a seasonal plant, long or short, but it's full life is lived in one season if not inside or in the tropics.

Interesting concept. Maybe I could try this. I have done grafting before. With trees and houseplants. .....hmmmmmmmm

Jangel - if you have the time energy inclination it could be a heck of a project...I couldn't find any proof of concept posts any place....you could be the first

I too have had the thoughts of grafting,What if someone was to graft Marijuana branches to the Little marijuana plant(little MJ is LEGAL)
Would the buds still be ILLEGAL???

I will think about it...I have to get all my clones out and such first. Then I will just have my flowering plants and mums and would have room to try it.....and I have lots of room.......see which root stock I can use from the clones I have now....which is the most vigerous...read a bit....I know for some types of grafting you use a sliver or tooth pick to keep the wound from healing and so it joins with the new stock. I have to look into this but I will seriously try this. it interests me...hmmmmm

...It would have to be a well vegged plant. What you need when you graft is the seperation of the stock, inside the pith, the inside skin, and then the bark. You could not do it with a hollow cane, so it would have to be somewhat woody. The object is to join the inside meatie part, with the growing inside skin matched and the bark over all. Then you join it. Some wrap with cloth, some tape, some even with wire, until they grow together. Quite often a point is cut into the center of the graft addition, so it looks like a spear kind of. Then a V to match into the recipient. I don't know that weed has thick enough stems at an age where it will work, to work with. So a straight slanted cut would need to be used.

Quite often the challenge with pot is that our veg area is so much smaller than our flowering area. and so are our plants....what if you graft taller growing sativas onto an indica root stock, which would stay smaller and therefore easier to handle in the veg state and use that branch for clones? ....well????

What do you guys think???? HUH??? HUHH???

ga night guys......peace....

When my weed smoking was in it's infancy and beginning to develop an urge to grow some, I heard/read/maybe hallucinated that you could graft the hops cutting onto the marijuana stalk and get smoking matter that looks like what you make beer out of... LOL!!!! I can't believe I wrote this but it is what it is and I am stoned and havin fun. Have a great night.
