Grafting

Yes this works and is done loads, if you google enough you find people who grow a huge tree with like 10 different Kind of strains on it... super crazy stuff.

Yes this absolutely works

Grafting is absolutely possible and, as Ultraviolet alluded to, is a way to cobble together a "frankenplant" with multiple strains on the same plant. It's especially useful if you wanna hold onto several strains but are limited by either space or plant limits. It works better on a plant with an active vascular system, so like a branch splice versus a bare stump. Not saying that the stump won't work, just a higher fail rate. I don't see it working on a seed as a previous poster mentioned...there's nothing for a seedling to root to in a graft. I've even used a potato to root with and grew weed....and some malformed potatoes too lol.

I would check other online communities and see if others are doing it. One fourm I belong to, a member was known for grafting and experimenting. Their most recent was germinating seeds and then planting them inside of other plants to see if it would root. Pretty interesting stuff. Some time searching, I'm sure you will find others that are doing the same.

It's worth a try the only thing is most root systems start dying off when the plant is going into harvest time so the roots may ot. be the best. Maybe try cutting the top off a large plant still in veg and graft a small plant on its root

Absolutely you can. Having multiple strains on the same rootstock is always something I wanted to witness for myself one day. Is it beneficial? That's up for debate, going to take valuable time to recover from such a transplant, reading documents such as one provided goes a far way in understanding what your dealing with. It's all pretty new and no real concrete evidence to suggest it's good or bad, but it certainly changes the genetics under the hood. Go for it I'd be interested to see. Grafting is not a standard procedure in the cannabis industry, and the plant is propagated mainly by rooted cuttings, tissue culture plantlets, or seeds (Hesami et al., 2023). When considering the implementation of a new methodology into a horticultural industry, the specific traits of the plant should be noted, besides the additional costs. In cannabis, the features that would be sought for in a scion are related to its reproductive characteristics - the duration of growth under floral induction until harvest, visual and biochemical properties of the floral organs (size, shape, color, cannabinoid profile, terpene profile), and the crop itself - the number of inflorescences per plant, their size and total weight (Crispim Massuela et al., 2022, Naim-Feil et al., 2022, Sarma et al., 2020). The properties that would be sought after in the rootstock are those which are common to most plants and relate to vegetative characteristics - rooting ability, mineral and water absorption, disease and pest resistance, tolerance to abiotic stresses, and more. Naturally, a vigorous rootstock will allow the scion to reach its natural potential from a vegetative and reproductive point of view, and it can even add some advantages to the scion's basic features. Achieving graft compatibility might be a challenge in cannabis due to the vast genetic diversity within the species (Clarke & Merlin, 2016). Selecting compatible graft combinations is essential to ensure successful graft union formation and maximize plant performance (Pina et al., 2017). There are only few scientific publications on the effect of grafting in cannabis. (Crombie & Crombie, 1975) tested the effect of reciprocal grafting of high-THC and high-CBD cannabis varieties over the chemotype of the scion. They found no such effect, but the grafting positively impacted the total yield. A recent paper, which focused mainly on developing a one-step grafting methodology for cannabis, described the response of high-CBD or high-THC scions to grafting, and reported a significant increase in yield (Purdy et al., 2022). However, they tested only high-THC rootstocks. A fresh new study tested grafting industrial hemp and CBD dominant scions onto potentially dwarfing rootstocks, potentially vigorous rootstocks, and seedlings-as-rootstocks (The chemotypes of the rootstocks are not defined) (Bitežnik et al., 2024). The paper indicates that grafting is a promising technique for enhancing the agronomic and medicinal potential of cannabis. Our current study aimed to test how grafting a THC dominant variety onto different rootstock's chemotypes affects a wide range of vegetative and reproductive indices of the scion. We focused on the impact of the rootstock's chemica

Hi, Grafting is a horticultural technique where a part of one plant (the scion) is joined to the rootstock of another. This is typically done to combine the desirable traits of two different plants, such as disease resistance from the rootstock and high fruit yield from the scion. In the context of cannabis, grafting is theoretically possible, but it is not a common practice. Here's why: Cannabis is typically grown from seed or clones. These methods are simpler and more reliable for most growers. The rootstock and scion need to be compatible. Finding suitable rootstocks for cannabis that are both compatible and readily available can be challenging. Grafting requires specific skills and techniques. It is not a straightforward process and requires careful handling to ensure successful union between the scion and rootstock. Good luck buddy.
