Light Addict Tries To Get Grafting - Target Of One Mom With 15 Strains!

Hey one and all :)

So tonight when lights come on I'm gonna prep my stock again (trim and defoliate) water a good hour before attempt and then prepare a flowering cut of the lemon garlic og. She looks super stunning with frost so let's try and keep the genetics with a monster cropped graft! ;)
 
This if successful would give the ability to flower plants out to pick the most perfect looking pheno and then graft to keep the exact genetic line alive. This surely will give folks the ability to keep just the most premier stock alive for clones as they go along and would be quite the cool thing me thinks :)
 
Hey, can you graft an onion on while you're at it? I've always liked seeing those flower pods when they open.

Just kidding, lol. Hoping you have luck in your experimentation.
 
Hey folks :)

So I've some pics showing my successes and also showing my neqw attempt at grafting flowering limbs on! I don't expect a win on these first 2 flowering girls as they are both well into flowering and the limbs themselves are very small, so not much of a contact point for the grafts! :)

OK so the two budding grafts still look OK??? :) So were leaving em alone! Now although the buds are in humidity bags and might get mold issues I'm not fussed we just want life to carry on long enough for the switch to occur and new veg life to begin! :)

I wouldn't mind seeing him hit his target - and then to stick it outside (in the ground, in a large, well-prepared location) under the sun. THAT would be a cool journal. Especially if the six strains all have slightly different flowering times. It'd be like pole beans, lol - show up once a week and pick a partial harvest.

It'd also have "Plant of the Month" written all over it, methinks.

Very entertaining thread LA !! I'm waiting for you to take a clone off one that you have grafted on and grow it and see if it holds it's Characteristics of the original strain !! Thank you for doing what you do !!

I'll be cloning off my first graft in a few days, so were gonna find out, I've the donor just finishing up flower on my other thread! :)

He he, I went a little under target in my title! I'll be actually going for 15+ strains on one old fluxes base! :) I'm still just waiting on my bean order to come in!


Then for other news, one flowering graft didn't make it and one is now without humidity cover and were fingers crossed for a successful monster cropped graft! :)
 
Thanks everyone :)

So the other night I was a little tired to say the least, well let's just say don't try and train your fluxes whilst shattered lol. We had a few lop offs happen! Yet this now let's me play with young plant grafts :)
So yep bare with me still as spending time looking after my missus! Yet in the next few days I'll be setting up some grafted plants to become huge bud sculptures!

I'm still not sure if we have success on the one flowering graft, we have to wait some more yet! :)
 
Along this subject of Grafting. If anyone is interested I have a US Government Booklet from the Early 1970's. It shows an Agricultural grant to the University for the Grafting of "HOPS" to a Marijuana base trunk. I believe the booklet stated that the Hops and the Cannabis were very close in the same Genetics area. I think they used the female plant to do the grafting of the Hops plant on to it. I can look for the booklet and post the name and date if anyone has a further interest in this.
The principal should hold constant for what the Original poster is attempting to do.
 
Both flowering grafts failed! I'll give that another run soon, yet I'm wanting to test how young you can start grafting ng, both with stock and donor! This is as I've got my sculptures to get going on! So yep tomoz or day after I'll be doing another 5-10 attempts with quite young plants :)
 
Sorry LA. You'll get it next time! :Namaste:
 
No worries Pinky it was just a half assed attempt lol :) they were tiny branches so not much contact point for the graft to work.
In some cool news my hso beans be coming and that means I need a flux base asap for the one mom 20+ strains attempt, this means some new 20plus babies all differing strains soon and once a graft is taken I'll fire em through in my new attempt at boosting SOG growing :)
 
OK so tomoz I'll setup another space for my plants to be under 24 light and then were going grafting again! ;)
