Has anyone ever tried?

Has any growers ever tried to use a different specie of plants pollen, to pollinate pot buds, with any results?
We got this plant that grows around here called, fillacorner, or at least that's what my grandmother would call it, it's such a pest cause its such a hardy annual plant that spreads like crazy. It's roots bulb and spreads that way, but it also flowers heavy and pollinates and drops seeds too. Regardless, I know it's a crazy question, but I figure some growers out there might get bored and have tried doing some cross pollinating experiments with there bud, and interested if any have and what the results showed.

try experimenting with sage. sage is a cousin of the weed plant and you might get the pollen to work. try mixing with salvia pollen you might get some potent stuff

maybe add bluberry pollen or watermellon pollen or lime or some sort of fruit to have a fruity bud

with genetic engineering it could be possible. just like in texas weed is grafted with other native plants

grafting does not make a new plant..... and i dont think genetic engineering can combine two completely different plants....

Well what a wonderfully innocent question, as well as a few creative answers.
Let's apply logic to your question. OK - if it was so - don't you think we would know already. Don't you think nature would be a complete mish-mash of random species.
Lets pollinate potatoes with apple, and get potatoes with apple flavor. The answer to your question is basically NO.
Although genetics has abilities that might mimic what you suggest, thats on a level beyond your question.
You might enjoy reading up on the subject - it's quite interesting, and well documented, as it like with you, has interested man for thousands of years.

To be honest, I figure if a person was to shake pollen on a bud plant if any effect the plant might turn hermo and self pollenate, But I also figured for sure some stoner has tried something like this. Thanks for the reply's!

What kind of pollen did she try. Least she tryed. Dont think it would hurt bud, and you never know, I'm sure nothing would work, but I'm also sure not everything has been tryed, so.. Thanks

what will happen if you take a normal cannabis plant like big bud, ak48 etc.. and use the pollen from hemp??? will you use the thc?

Well hemp is the plant without thc. So, in theory, I believe that you will produce a plant with one of three outcomes; a plant with the same thc content as the normal plant, a plant with less thc production, a plant with absolutely no thc content. I guess genetics plays a big factor in this one. Which plant gives the THC gene would be the factor in thc production.

Your mother has brown eyes, your dad has blue, but you have brown. My mom has brown eyes also, my dad has blue eyes also, but I have blue eyes.

Or better yet, my cousin is white, her husband is white, but they had a black baby (not like true African black, but darker skin with an African nose) lol. Its 99.99% his. Go figure.

I brew beer for a living, and I have heard on numerous occasions that hops and weed are related. There is this guy who buys hop rhizomes off of us to grow hops and he was talking about trying to splice together a hop plant and a weed plant. He said he heard that people have done it before. I see him from time to time, I'll have to ask if it ever worked out.
