Graft Experiment #2
Same plants, Master Kush is the receiver and the Custard Cream is the cut.
This time I followed something I saw online. First I cut a branch off the MK and put that in rockwool for a clone later.
Then using an exacto knife I cut a slit in the stem. I put a soaked piece of root plug on it to keep it moist until I was ready for it:
Next a cutting from the custard cream. The instructions were to just scrape the sides of the bottom of the cutting in a v-ish shape.
Insert the cutting into the slit on the stem and I wrapped a piece of straw around it. The end of the cutting is being supported with a coat hanger stake to keep it in one place.
Then used a clothespin to hold the connected areas together. It was just tight enough for a little pressure without squishing it:
I put a few drops of water down the straw, then spritzed her up and made a little humidity dome from one of my food grade cheap plastic gloves making sure it wasn't leaning on the leaves or the cutting:
In the above picture it doesn't show the clothespin, I first tried a pipe cleaner....didn't like it.
Now we wait. What I read said that it can take anywhere from 5 days to two weeks for the graft to grow together.
The cutting is now waiting to root:
