Grafting fresh clone onto fresh stump after harvest

[DankNugz420]

I had to change the water every other day at least cuz algae

 

[DankNugz420]

But yea I'm surprised that all the leaves are perky lol this is what experiments are about. It was a bare stump that was still pumping juice for a whole day and a half after chop before I did the graft experiment

So, you're taking the blame when in ten years people are saying you can't flower out plants if they don't have the right rootstock, like with roses, citrus, etc. It's been written in history.

Im not far enough into the experiment yet for that kind of statement lol

Hey dank , I'm confused and too lazy to re read the post , I have a few questions .... Do the clones have roots already ?
Are they from a flowering plant cut or they just look like that because the crowded leaf tips look female ?

 

[DankNugz420]

Haven't researched alot on grafting just basic branch stuff

 

[lvstealth]

how did you do the graft?

I think the cat's outta the bag. Shit's hit the fan. In a few weeks, there's going to be a massive moose knuckle under that tape and you're gonna have multiple strains feeding from the same root system. The deed is done.

I should have taken pics during but I didn't lol. I did a deep V cut into the bleeding stump with a utility razor blade, then worked the flaps a lil bit to make em a bit more flexible then I took fresh cuts from veg plants, did reverse v cut on 5 clones in the middle. Then I added 2 clones to each side with 45° cuts just to fill the gap cuz the stumps fairly large. 9 clones 4 varieties. On a lemon meringue seed plant stump with nothin else on it after harvest

 

[DankNugz420]

These were fresh clones cut right then from veg plants under 24 hour light

 

[DankNugz420]

I tied a string around it too

Cool ....It might work , can you get a dome around them in case they need some tlc in a day or two , or are they in a relatively clone friendly environment ? , I almost imagine the clones rooting dep into the stem as a host , not actually grafting , but shooting roots thru the center like the alien and growing right thru to the soil , and then shedding the stump after they used her as a temporary living rapid rooter

 

[dire wolf]

I got a bunch of big moms I'm getting ready to cut to stump , gonna watch you if it works , I'm going to give it a shot

Keeping a close eye on this. Looks very interesting

 

[DankNugz420]

Totally do it dude! Im just trying to keep in mind it's going from feeding a giant budding plant to feeding a hand full of clones lol want water pressure on roots but not root rot or somethin. I got a fresh pic also. Looks pretty much like this morning lol

 

[DankNugz420]

I got it in the veg tent it's humid enough for em I think

 

[dire wolf]

Don't get dissapointed , I've seen clones stand up nice and do nothing for weeks , even full month , and it's just standing , doing nothing .... Seen that a lot

 

[DankNugz420]

Yea I'm giving it time before I mess with it cuz it could be just that they're sucking up the juices from the stump enough to perk but I'm intrigued lol hopefully it does make a super Frankenstein plant! Speaking of clones I accidentally made 2 top clones tonight lol I'll post them in my other thread about "high stress training"

Great job but like Direwolf said, I wouldn't get your hopes up yet. The graft will have a calloused scar tissue after a few weeks. Even then it still needs a few weeks to really take and start growing.

Someday I will try growing a grafted cannabis wall from multiple branches. Not sure if anyone sees my vision but its going to happen someday.


For grafting, I would highly recommend getting some parafilm tape. The tape holds the moisture in the graft and squeezes the unions together.

I have a feeling that you are going to experience root rot with your "stump" though. Not trying to be Debbie downer but I think you will need to keep a single branch alive or your roots will slowly die.
