This in my eye stands a far better shot then last time the only thing I can think is that maybe a better seal around the graft itself? Anyway best of luck again

I'm looking around for my danged plumbers' tape. Can't find anything in the way of tape that is stretchy or flexible that is going to hold with wetness. I'll keep thinking....but I think I have an

It did start to droop after I put the humidity bag on it, so I took it off for a while to see what happens. If it gets better, I'll leave it off.

Do you think medical cloth tape would work well? I have used it before on tomato plants for a repair and it stretched nicely.

Probably would, but in all of the medical supplies I have in every spare room....there isn't a single roll of tape left. LOL

So, I got out my computer repair supplies. I have several sizes of the shrink tubing that you put on wires to seal up the join. One of them was a perfect size to slide over the join of the two plants snugly at the join. Perfect fit. Then I wrapped it with wet perm rolling papers pretty tightly. Let's see how that works. It can be cut off easily with an exacto knife when I need to.

The cutting had wilted while in the humidity tent, but after about an hour without it, she bounced back to life.

OK....so I'm just going to ask. Why are you doing this grafting? I don't think the root stock can be changed and I don't really see the efficiency here. Help me understand.

Basically I just want to see if I CAN do it first and what happens as a result with the buds. As soon as I get a root stock, if this works, then I'll know what to do to graft it without experimenting around with it. Multiple strains on a single plant without having to grow a whole new plant out for each strain.
I'm still trying to understand the whole thing myself really, but I want to learn the grafting first.

Here's a clip from the net with some of the different reasons that people may try this:

For areas with a low legal plant count, the grower must strike a compromise between trying lots of new strains which could be hit-or-miss, or keeping a few reliable favourites going via cuttings.
With grafted marijuana you could keep one mother plant alive, but have many different strains growing from her, allowing you to pick and choose from a stock of different strains for each crop, all from only one mother plant..

We all have strains we would love to try, but are reluctant to commit to growing ourselves due to famously small yields (Urkle, OG Kush, Mendo Purps, Girl Scout Cookies to name but a few). Now you can start a feminized seed, wait until she has a few leaf sets, then graft her on to your regular strain. You can then harvest a single branch of the desired bud, and if it's as great as you hoped, you can choose to grow more. If it's not as amazing as you expected, you haven't wasted time and effort bringing a whole plant to fruition for something that 'aint all that!

Breeders looking for some fun could graft together several different female strains with a hardy stud male plant on there too, making a single plant capable of self pollination, without introducing any undesirable hermaphrodite traits either. This multi-plant could fit into a single plant space, as opposed to a whole room, and allow the fastest way to get many different new crosses in one crop. If you only used one male strain, and kept track of your different female stems, you could know exactly what each cross comes out as. You would only get one stems worth of seeds from each strain of course, but unless you are looking to sell them in bulk, it should be more than ample to get some stellar new genetics!

Going one step further, you could also force male flowers onto your favourite female plant using Gibberelic acid and graft that on, so your seeds would automatically be feminized.

If you wanted to let fate play it's hand a little more,, and were feeling adventurous you could graft several different male strains on to the super-plant, thus allowing a venture into unknown genetics with each seed. The possibilities for this “lucky dip” approach are endless, and no doubt would lead to some incredible F1 genetics.

Or the precut versions, known as band-aids !

No band aids either. Hope I don't cut myself. LOL

I think it's time to hit the pharmacy tomorrow on my weekly trip out.

Duck tape for a cut finger, band aids for the grafting..........priorities

Great Info on this chart:

Since we have the picture, the key to grafting is

For successful grafting, the vascular cambia of the rootstock and scion must be aligned so they can grow together. In wood, the vascular cambium is the obvious line separating the bark and wood.

I got some reveg clones going in my cloner yesterday too, from the MK x WW and Top Gal in flower:

Do you mind sharing some info on your clone bucket? Is it a bubble clone?

No problem sharing, it is a bubble cloner. Homemade from one of those lock top buckets that pond treatments come in, here's the destructions I had put on my blog:

Newest of Noobs - From Set Up To Growing and Harvesting

You could do this with any kind of bucket with a lid. It's just something I had that I found a use for.

You title to this journal is really coming into it's own now. With grafting, cloner instructions, seed propagation etc. It is truly "where everything changes- Autos - Photos - Seeds & More!". You are needing advanced navigation tools in here.

I just keep typing into google looking for info, and see what makes sense. LOL
I did run into a thread here on 420 Magazine where someone had some pretty good pics of grafting....I have not read through the whole thing to see if it was a success though:

Silver Kush - White Widow - Martian Kush & Underdawg OG Scrog 600W HPS

My second attempt did sort of survive overnight, but it was looking pretty bad today. I actually took it apart and looked, the scion stem had shrunk away again inside the root stock branch. Sooooo.............I saved the scion in a glass of water with a fresh cut on it. It lived...and now I have it in place trying another method. (pretty much the same as the above links' pics)
I'll load pics of what I did if it survives.

I am so much like Light Addict in the fact that I get bored very easily. This no job thing is the worst! Just trying to find things to fill my time and my mind. Housework only goes so far......

I'll be popping over to see your coming home updates shortly.
