Grafting and your experience with it…

Growing & Learning

Hope everyone’s crop(s) are going well.

Does anyone have experience in grafting multiple strains to a root stock plant?

If so, what, if any, suggestions do you have for success and longevity?

How soon can you add another scion onto the rootstock without it becoming a detriment to the plant?

I’ve recently added my 3rd scion, making 4 strains, to a root stock peyote zkittlez plant (Seedsman). The scions I added were as follows; Urinal Snacks (DayDay Genetics), Blueberry Muffin (Humboldt Seed Co), and Gorilla Runtz (Seedsman).

Planning on adding (hopefully), within the next few weeks to months, these strains as well; Hindu Kush (Barney’s Farm), Strawneapple (Exotic Genetics), Notorious THC (Humboldt Seed Co), L.A. Peyote Kush (Seedsman), Chemberrly (Exotic Genetics) *no more stock of this strain*, Platinum GSC ( Don’t know friend gifted to me), Black Phoenix (Dirty Bird Genetics)and Orange Headrush (TerpFiend).

I do not plan on flowering this Frankenplant, trying to reduce space needed to have multiple strains going at the same time.

Will post pictures soon (next 6-10 days), humidity bags are on and would like to show the grafted area for reference.

That sounds super interesting. Can’t wait to see.

@SweetsensiWA it has been quite interesting. I will be sure to tag you once I post pictures.

I would suggest everyone try it (photoperiods and fast fem only). It gives you more understanding of what this plant is capable of.

Please do that @IRDuH . I have some old apple trees in my yard that are probably around 100 years old. Our house is 126 years old and I would like to have some back up just in case a wind storm blew them over.

@SweetsensiWA here is a photo of them in their humidity bags.

Oh ,I see, I’ve done something similar to this on some house plants. You can wrap the stem in wet coco coir and wrap in plastic. Then you can root it and cut it off the main plant. Can’t wait to see the Frankenstein.

Tons of vids on it for step by step ect.

Very helpful

11

I knew it was possible but never seen it done before with Cannabis. Very cool!

12

@MrNice , it helps out by allowing me to grow one plant with all these cultivars, to be able to clone them later on, without taking away too many on plant count.

13

Urinal snacks?? Lol i grew a strain years ago called “cat piss” lmao. Wxactly wat it smelled like too

14

Super cool though!! I knew you could do it with orchard trees but didnt think of canabis

15

@RidgeDandy , it has a sweet cherry, floral, earthy taste. It has an aroma of floral throughout its flower cycle. Very resinous rock hard buds.

16

How long does it take the grafts to start growing?

17

@RidgeDandy Between 7-14 days once scion is grafted onto the rootstock plant. Make sure all plants (including the rootstock plant) are healthy before attempting. Whatever problem your plant is having (viral/bacterial/genetic/etc.) will be transferred into others through rootstock.

Also, if your rootstock plant has a high thc content, this can be passed onto the scions that were grafted to it; for example: peyote Zkittlez (rootstock) at a thc percentage of 26-28% will pass this on (not completely) to a scion such as Skunk Mazar at a normal percentage of 19-23% will/or could be pushed to a 23-27% thc due to connection to rootstock. This doesn’t always happen but has a high possibility of doing so.

Do you think you could graft a male cut onto female rootstock?
Be cool to keep around a decent male you find for future breeding projects.

19

@MrNice yes you can, the male and female hormones will stay separated even through the grafting process. I, myself, have not done this, but I’ve researched this procedure for the last year or so before getting the courage to “possibly” ruin a good plant and a few clones.

Sounds very interesting, do you reveg when done or start over?
