This was a rootbound rootball in a 5 liter pot. Still alive...The white rhino and grapegod grafts are also doing well so far.

There is one technique we mostly use for splicing trees
is to take up to 4 cuttings, trim v shape and wedge them in between the bark and the stem
so the circular stem would have 4 clones faceing each other like a square and then hold the bark up by tape, and keep a black plastic bag over it for a couple of days (if not seald the wound to prevent mold).
also a good way to seal the excess is either molten candel wax as one have suggested before or that product in the picture
there are many ways for splicing had a book about it before with lots of different techniques
i remember one where you could merege branches/trees to be like attached siamese twins.
oh and about the your first attempt you should have seald the other 2 ends

*sigh* all my grafts are dead...that male tahoe og is now vegging again, so I'll give grafting another shot soon. I am thinking of rooting a cutting, planting it in the same pot as the tahoe og, and grafting the two together once the clone has established its root system. After that, I could cut off the stem of the clone under the graft, leaving me with a plant with a single stem, and two strains on it...

Giving grafting another go...this time I grafted two males, as practice for the female white rhino graft I'll be doing soon. Basically, I cut off a thick branch from the male Tahoe OG, and another off a male Deadhead OG x Qleaner (own cross, fastest and healthiest growing plant i've ever seen!) and grafted them to each other's place. This was done with v shaped wedges. The wounds were sealed with molten wax as quickly as possible, and then wrapped with parafilm (which actualy works very well for this!) Finally, I gently wrapped saran wrap around the exposed stem and leaves of the grafted branches to prevent water loss while the wound heals. I worked as sterile as I could, and I'm going to mist the grafted branches for a few days, then take off the saran wrap and see how it goes. Have high hopes for this one...

Did they make it ddimebag?

Hey guys I didn't read through everything you guys did but there is one KEY to grafting if you want to be successful. You HAVE to line the vascular tissue together or else the plant can't grow. If it is close you will have a good chance, but if the tissue doesn't line up the stem won't grow to the rootball. Like I said, don't know if any one said it, but I needed to share the key for grafting.

Nope...they did last a while, but eventually died...I'm not giving up though, next time I will use two healthy woody branches, parafilm and candle wax (as those two seemed to e easy to use, and more effective than tape or plastic wrap). Next time I will inject the wax through a thick needle to cover the wound more precisely, rather than try to pour it over...

It belongs to a grower named Grumpy Old Dreamer, I found the pikkie on another forum.
That was when the plant was first created, it grew lots bigger.
He used to post here but doesn't come here anymore.
