i have read one study which states cannabis is notoriously difficult to graft because of it's short lifespan. several attempts were made to similar plants like hops but the recovery time is not worth the effort.

That's weird. I bend my branches to reduce the hight of my plants. In the process I have snaped a few stems, I wraped the stems with some tape and they were fine in less then a week, or at least they looked healed on the outside and the tips ot the branches showed new growth.

atochi i stumbled upon your post looking for a way to graft looking for a way to reduce the number of plants i have. when i was studying cannabis production in the netherlands, somebody showed me how to graft multiple plants onto one plant. the point of this is not to make 2 different types of flowers grow onto one plant, but rather to make one plant grow UBERfast. the reason i stumbled upon your post is that i was looking for the diagram again to reduce the number of plants that i have, like you said 10 is too much, but for sure if you had 10 going into 1, they would rally be confused, and on top of that it would grow ten times faster, plus i can top the plant i want to right now
and send the rest of its energy into developing the other ones faster. basically, you have 3 or 4 plants around the big mother you want to grow uber fast, so pick the plant that you dont want anymore(im usuing a neville's haze plant in this instance because it is much too strong for me and has a little bit too much medical value :s) and cut off one of the branches and leave this pot at a 45 degree angle to the mother plant you will graft it on to. cut off one of the branches on the mother plant and tie them up with tape making sure they dont move, and the 2 wounds are shut togethor and held tight by the tape. best use a tape that is breathable, but using scotch tape is ok too.. keep in mind grafting cannabis is extremly difficult, so take practice like taking cuttings. however this could be useful if you have practices it, perhaps more useful than cuttings. you wont have to throw away males, but rather just cut off all of their flowers, and make all of their energy go into producing a big tasty female. the most i have seen giving energy to one plant alone, is the stock plant, and 5 grafted to it. but growing 6 times than normal is well worth it. another thing is you could buy hemp seed at your local health food store(my wife buys mine) plant around 5 for every 1 true c sativa or indica seed. graft 5 hemp seeds to one real one, if the feds ever come about, tell them its just rope. they could test it and find out you werent lying. its the same plant , only its giving your one drug plant the benfits of their growth. then again you could just use a tomato to give your mother plant energy and grow twice as fast. not that difficult. think of it like this, if you graft a tomato to give your cannabis energy, your tomato is dedicated to making good weed that is NOT tomato flavored; if you graft a cannabis plant to give the tomato her energy, you have a cannabis driven tasty tomato that wont get you high.
same with hops, why would a hops plant make thc? just because another plant gives it energy? think of it like this, the only good application for grafting is to force a plant to share his home made food with another plant.. combining two different species into one is a different ballpark altogethor.. but in conclusion id say best graft the cutting of a weed plant on top of a tomato, and not the other way around, and remember you can still use the males if you cut his flowers off

What?!?!?!?!????
didnt read every reply hereb ut yes grafting is totally possible!
it takes about 12 weeks for the grafted part to start growing but that could vary by strain, i dont know, ive only done it with one strain.
you can top one plant and put the top of the other on it, splint it and tape it tight (gauze works well).......eventually it will start growing. you can also do branches, maybe even split both plants up the stem and do it that way. obviously some ways will take longer than others and may have lower success rates but grafting is entirely doable!

why twelve weeks with proper fluid from the parent plant it should take like a clone. maybe 14 days i would think. my friend just did it for the hell of it and his cut took.
grafting isn't cloning, and when i did it, it took just under 12 weeks. if you can get a graft to heal and fuse together in 14 days i'd love to know your methods. even mr cervantes says its about a 12 week process.
btw is anyone else sick of this doucheface in goggles on the grasstogreen advertisements? i hope he gets hit by a train

sad thing is all that website is, is another "get rich by google" site. learn how to build a website and use adsense instead of paying some crooks to give you a book of info that is freely available on the web.
i might be doing some more grafting in the coming months, kinda looking forward to what i can do, but it depends on the amount of space i have when my new strains get here

one thing that will help you is wrapping the graft in a bit of fabric and covering it with warm wax , makes a good air tight seal that will be able to expand while the plant grows and supports the branch pretty well.
i think bees wax would be the best choice, just dont use something that probably has chemicals in it cause you dont know if your plant will be poisoned or if you will end up smoking them

another substance to use is cyanoacrylate(super glue) it was originally developed for wounds on people it is safe to use and seals well. has anyone seen the new tissue culture kits showing up at hydro stores a concept of a similar vein interesting.
