Week 7 | Day 49 to 55 | Flower Day 7 to 13
THEY ARE ALIVE.
Witnessed significant growth throughout the first week of 12/12. The plants took from veg to flower within a matter of days (fastest I've seen to date) and have had a 10cm growth spurt.
I did some shuffling and further defoliation as to make way for the new fan leaves. The canopy pictured in this round of shots is bang on day 7 and 24hrs after a thorough snip. Shows you how quickly they bounce back (edit: I added a photo just after the defoliation).
I am maintaining the nutrient level for another few days and will up the dosage to 38ml per 10L in the next run. Will see how far I can push the nutrients with frequent flushes near the end of flower.
Howzit,
So I am going to attempt to graft an arm onto my one plant, seeing that I mainlined two great stems and like an inattentive fool broke one off.
My question:
Anyone done this before and have any pointers for me? Not sure what the likeliness of this working is.
Heyy Zimbo yes it can work doing the grafting method. It is harder because most likely if your having to attempt a graft the branch has snapped completely off. Now when trying to fix this you need to make sure where it broke does not "scab" up or else it wont heal back onto the plant. It is very tricky but can work i have done it once or twice before an i had a little spot that had "scabbed" over so i took a scalpel an made the slightest cut just to get it back open to a fresh cut make sure it is fresh like that on both spots you are trying to graft the put the branch back on an use some tape to hold it on sometimes you will have to add something to act like a splint as well. You can also look into some of the different cutting method before the graft to get more surface area touching where it will be grafted. Hopefully it will take if not and you see it drooping you can always try to save it an make it a clone Happy Growing!!!
Hemp is a resiliant plant. and most time snapped branches are fixable.Its very common to break snap a branch or on outdoors the wind/ animals break them. If you give alittle help to your plants they most time make it
@Thee_HoffGuyy The graft didn't go so well. I think I rushed the process and didn't put enough thought into the way that the stem should be sliced. Been a few days now and the arm is dead 👻 I suppose there will always be another opportunity.
This was me doing the procedure: https://youtu.be/mxHUSRk6f2g | and this was the final result: https://youtu.be/UP8i5uJ-Mf4
@ThatZimbo, Aww that's to bad it didn't work. The last one i tried didn't either. it can be very tough to do it's just like you said you gotta get the cut of both stems just right. Thanks for posting the vids. I'll check em out👊 Oh yea she is looking Awesome keep up that great work👍 got some nice strong stems on her💪 Happy Growing an Plentiful Harvests!!🙏
Hope i was able to help😊 it can be tough be its really cool when grafting works i did it once with a cutting from another plant it was wicked cool had 2 main branches 2 different strains lol Happy Growing!!! They look great!
@Thee_HoffGuyy,
Thanks so much for the insight. A friend has some Martian Mean Green mother plants, we're going to try a splice with one of those and see how it goes! I'll keep you updated on the progress if you would like?
@ThatZimbo, I believe it was like around 5-7 weeks old it was a little while ago so i don't remember exactly but I do know that one of the plants was like 2 weeks older the the other. There may be a a certain period where the chances are better but I'm not to sure. haven't done that much research on it just enough to kno it can work and can also be tricky
