Air Layering/Grafting

[pleasecheese]

Experimenting with air layering/grafting, anyone have any experience with this.

 

[Dear ol” Thankful Grower!]

I’ve recently experimented with this having strains that are siminilar in stem structure helps get a flush seal making sure it’s flish and moist goes a long way I’m going to make another attempt here soon when they get a little thicker

UPDATE, Its been a week and I wanted to see the progress so I opened it all up and there was a beautiful white callus where I scarped and applied fillet of aloe vera. I got to thinking and decided that the bag and soil was not necessary. so I cut a root riot plug in half and wrapped it around the callus. Roots should poke through any day. I really like this method for cloning and going forward I will be taking all my clones like this. But instead of the bag I will just cut a plug, trim/scrape node, apply root hormone and wrap plug with plastic. you can see some of the callus in the picture. Roots should be out any day. I think I would have got roots faster if I would have started with the new method. live and learn

What your doing isnt grafting , but taking a clone ?. It looks like your basically taking a clone , getting it to root on the pkant , and then cutting it off , am i right? Pretty cool idea... you can just continue to grow the plant as normal and cut it off when it has the roots. I might have to give it a try

 

[pleasecheese]

you are Correct, I haven't started the grafting portion of this experiment jut yet. so far just air layering, which has turned into air cloning. lol. down the road I will try to "z graft" a branch from another strain onto this plant. interesting stuff

 

[pleasecheese]

Yay. Good job.
Mind getting a farther back shot to put it all in reference what the rest of plant looks like?

sure thing, here you go the one I started with the bag is on the left

I am interested in the grafting also. I just ordered tjis grafting tool that i saw on facebook, it cuts like a tongue and groove looking thing in the stem and you just put them together and tape it up. Ill load pictures of it here when it gets delivered

thanks for the tool idea. didn't know there was one. that one cuts a "v" shape which would probably work the same, or better who knows? cant wait to try...

I really like wht u hav done here n im going t hav a play now i think good little project. I read about it about 5 yr ago but never bothered nice work

thanks for the kind words. Lots of benefits to cloning this way. kind of hard to tell by the picture but there are a couple of them on that plant, I was experimenting with different rooting hormones. (clonex, roottech, and just root powder) curious to see which roots fastest, since all other variables will be the same.

Let us kno wich one worked best

I,v seen vids on utube with the guys at kiwi seeds who had 4/5 different strains grafted onto one plant.it was pretty cool.its a good way to keep cuts of multiple strains on one mother plant.you just need to label were each strains grafted on so u know which strains which.
They had even flowered one with about 4 different strains grafted to one plant.all the resulting buds grew and turned out like they normally would.it was pretty cool.
Never tried it myself though.

There is a video on youtube of the tool. Look up innovative grafting tool. It shows you how it works

Can not find the vid u r speaking of typed all sorts in

 

[Erick31876]

Google innovative grafting tool, then when the results come up, go to the top and click videos, and it will be the first video to come up

 

[LoudPacks420]

Done tht but i was hopeing t see vid with kiwi seeds guy cant find vid u speak of

Some might remember back in the early 70's there was a paper back book on growing cannabis. If i remember right they had a whole section on grafting (beer) hop's to cannabis plants. Not sure it ever happened but i remember seeing the book.

that is exactly what I am planning. just takes time because each graft has to be pretty thick at least 1/4".

I wonder if the grafted branch picks up any of the traits of the parent plant. I might try this on one of my smaller pineapple Express clones. I have a binch of them , they woild be perfect for a experement. And i just took some cuttings of my tomahwk #1,2 plants that i know are female. Im gonna give it a try. Ill post pics of it tonight when i get home and make the graft.

No it doesn't.the grafts attached don't pick up any traits from the mother plant they'r attached too.they just grow and come out just like they would if the grafts had just grown on the original plant they came from in the first place.for example if u grafted a branch of cheese to a stem and root ball of haze it would still come out as cheese with zero traits from the haze.the plant with the roots only supplies the nutrients the graft needs,it doesn't Change the grafted strain in anyway.
