Grafting Different strains onto one plant

Would anyone know if it's possible? I was thinking about giving it a go, but I'd rather not waste my time if someone's already come up with negative results.

entirely possible bud, there still of the same plant family like how dogs and wolves can have puppies but there totally diferent.

dogs ad wolves are not totally different

yeah you can graft, usually you only do a stock and scion and takes + 2 weeks. Pick a strain thats got a thick trunk and healthy roots and a strain that yields small like purple kush and OG make a good pair.

I would recommend that you only use strains that take the same time to mature, otherwise you may have part of the plant ready to harvest and another part needing more time.

Dogs are totally different to plants though. I can see what you're trying to outline, but you're comparing two very different branches of life which don't really correlate much to each other.
Thanks for the info though, much appreciated. Its nice to finally have some intelligent discussion haha.

kiss-ass ahhh good thinking derple...maybe to keep a nice selection while maintaining a low plant count, didnt ever look at it that way

*Yes it is possible.. It's not a waste of time if you know what you are doing, it's not really a method frequently used by cannabis growers.. :)

i think it would be an awesome experiment to try. and the idea of having multiple strains on one mother plant would be helpful especially for those who are trying to keep plant numbers to a minimum (for legal reasons or for space). i might try it as well now that im thinking more about it.

It's actually a very clever idea. Mothers can keep for years and years, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. There are those examples we see in cheap rag plant catalogs, they've been around for years..
Here's a 5in1 dwarf apple tree! http://www.eburgess.com/detail.asp?pid=6123
The problem with those is a general lack of vigor when compared with complete plants or even single grafts.
But cherb is a different plant; different environment, life cycle, etc... Things might get easier or funkier as time goes on. There's only one way to find out. But..
The more grafting, the more opportunity for problems.
All that aside, if it works, it would be pretty epic. 5 mothers, 25 cultivars...
I know if I could do it, I would!

You bring up an interesting point: Grafting for the sake of creating a multi-strained mother plant, versus grafting a plant just to bud and 'see what happens'. If you had limited space for your mother plant, but a larger budding chamber, you could easily benefit from this concept. You would simply pluck your cuttings as needed.

I am going to be attempting this for fun, and if I am successful, I'll have a grafted mother plant!

My friend and I have been keeping a close watch on all our females to try and find potential partners.

I am going to pair strains that have similar lineages, feeding requirements and speed of growth.

Wish me luck!

I think grafting mother plants together is a phenomenal idea for those of us in medical states with plant count limits.

Good luck man. That might actually be the way to go, to get similar strains with similar flowering times etc.
