What is this "air layering" u speak of? Is it when you wrap a the stem on mother plant with a medium like floral moss and rooting compound. Then keep medium moist till it roots? I've used this technique on a house plant in the past ?
Thanks for the advice! ! I like the direction you went with it !!
You say you would have two plants in flower. Would you stagger them by a couple weeks in the flower tent ?

That's what he was talking about. He put up a cool link. And u stagger ur plants by a couple weeks so u are harvesting every couple of weeks.

Yup same thing could add a couple steps to increase the success rate tho


Air layering is a propagation method for woody plants that allows you to root branches while still attached to the parent plant. It is useful for plants that are hard to propagate by cuttings or if you want your new plant to have a larger size than could be accomplished by taking cuttings.

You will need
- the plant you want to propagate
- a sharp knife
- Sphagnum moss (should be available at garden centres)
- a piece of (preferably transparent) plastic foil (an old plastic bag will do fine) (about 30x30 cm)
- string
- a piece of thin, hard plastic (I used a piece of a plant tag, a piece of a plastic bottle or yoghurt tub or something similar would work just as well. Basically, you just need something thin that will not decompose if it's damp for a couple of weeks). It should be just a bit longer than the width of the branch you want to root.
- scissors for cutting string and plastic foil
- water
- a bowl to soak the moss in

A couple of weeks later, you will also need:
- a flower pot
- potting mix
- maybe a stake and more string.

Then - soak the moss, then squeeze out the excess water. You need enough to make a fist-sized ball if you lightly press it together.
- cut the plastic foil/bag and hard plastic to the proper sizes (about 30x30 cm and slightly larger than the width of your branch, respectively).
- cut two pieces of string, long enough that you can wrap it around your branch a couple of times and easily tie it, about 20-25 cm)
- choose the branch you want to root, and the place where you will cut it (preferably just under a node - that's the place where a leaf is/was attached). If necessary, remove some leaves - you'll need about 10-20 cm of leaf-less branch.

Then Make an upwards-slanted cut about halfway to two-thirds through the branch. Take care not to cut so far that the branch breaks.
The way I've learned it, you support the branch with your thumb, then pull the knife towards it with your fingers (as seen in the picture). Place your thumb so that the knife blade would, if you cut all the way through, move past it rather than directly towards it - that way, if you accidentally cut too far, you minimize the danger of cutting yourself.

Take the small piece of plastic and insert it into the cut. This will keep the cut from closing up again, encouraging the plant to grow roots instead.

Take your damp moss and wrap it around the cut. Like I said in step 2, it should make a fist-sized ball, all around the cut. Don't press it together too tightly, it should feel... how to describe it? ... sponge-like.
Given time, the plant - encouraged by the moisture and the cut - will grow roots into this moss.

Holding the moss in place with one hand, wrap the plastic foil around it. It might be good to have a helper at this stage - this is a bit tricky the first couple of times.
Tie the plastic tightly below and above the ball of moss.
If necessary, tie the branch to a stake to support it (being halfway to two-thirds cut, it may be in danger of breaking).

After a couple of weeks or months (depending on the plant and its growing conditions), you should see roots growing through the moss. This is why I prefer transparent plastic to wrap around the moss - makes it easier to check the progress.
If it takes longer than a few weeks, you might want to open the plastic foil, and make sure the moss is still damp. Otherwise, just leave it alone and wait.
When you can see well-develloped roots, cut the branch below the moss ball.Remove the plastic wrap, but leave the moss ball alone so as not to damage the roots. Pot the new plant up using good-quality potting mix and a smallish pot - I prefer not to go over 15 cm diameter for that first pot, smaller than that if the plant is little enough to stay upright in a smaller pot.
The reason behind this is that if the pot is a lot bigger than the still-small rootball, the soil will stay wet for a long time, because the plant can not yet take up so much water, and this can cause the roots to rot.
So you should also take care with watering during the first few weeks, keeping the soil moist enough that the plant doesn't wilt, but never, ever truly wet.

Grafting or graftage is a horticultural technique whereby tissues from one plant are inserted into those of another so that the two sets of vascular tissues may join together. This vascular joining is called inosculation.

Nope hasn't changed, sounds and looks the same to me as I remember it the picture of the tree is how I did my plant and a mixture of the two pictures is what we did with the trees. Meaning we would only slice the side of the cutting into a corner shape and not make a v at the bottom and put the plug in to hold it in place Just imagine the small sapling root as a giant stump about the size of a basketball and the green plastic is what was cut with the hole saw. This is Pretty awesome stuff thanks @Lazerus00 just gave me something to do for a while to get outa the mundanes of autopilot growing. You have me curious about the genetic drift as well could we even possibly make some crazy new way to cross breed if feminized long after graph I bet it would not be the same as any normal cross.

Also works with coral cactus





Keep it green!

I can't remember where I saw it, but someone was able to successfully graft about 10 different strains to a single plant. When it floweres, each strain remains independent and finished out is if normal....I'll look for it.

Thanks everyone for the great advice !!!
I will be putting this all into use by end of august. No air conditioning so shut down indoor for the summer. I just moved and am building a new room so want to make this 5 plant count work for me and wife's medicine.
Thanks again y'all
peace , love &

I was wondering if I could graft a bunch of strains on a mother plant and be able to rotate through the strains for flower ?

Sorry @Tnelz Didn't See You Put That Up What Link Are You Referring To I Don't Remember Seeing A Link Can U please Put It Up again so i can See If There Is Anything I Can Use To Improve My methods!

I never saw a link either ?
If there is one would love to see it

Dunno, I bought those ;) but will try that technique with cannabis (eventually)

I tend to my garden all day . My wife My dogs , my ladies. Not necessarily in that order.! Lol Came home one night after a visit and I used a no ma timer

Just tossing up a pic of my Deathstar. She is now out of her funk and I'll be transplanting her tonight. She will be in amended soil and will become a giant mother. Sorry for the crappy pic. I have 2 more clones to grab. Maybe 3 then that's it. No more cuts. All seed pheno hunting for a while. @seafour put it in my head a while ago. Its time to find some new elites. I've got some pretty fire gear and I've got to find some new ladies. Sorry for the double. To the bro who gifted this lady thanks man. Its been fun getting her back to normal and will be even more fun getting her nice and full. Respect bro. View attachment 522858 View attachment 522858

My buddy SG1 has been doin octagon rooms for years... swears by em
this is from a rebuild... he's since cut it into 2 rooms with 4k each... passive exhaust, forced air from those floor vents...

bad lil setup... 45 the walls and the ceiling and the whole room is your hood...

upon closer view... the last pic looks like 1/2 of the new setup with 8k total in 2 4k partitions... so that'd be his.... 4th? rebuild..... dunno.... bad ass either way...

Have thought bout the angles before now jus gotta get it together one side flower. One veg . Get a y pipe and there's my cool air. Seeing done helped. Now it's all coming together nicely. ☺

Maybe I googled it. Lol. There may not be a link. My bad. But it comes up when u Google it for sure.
