Grafting Cannabis. Multiple strains, one plant.

Have you noticed different rates of success for making grafts at different plant levels, or making grafts right after a recent pruning session ? Theoretically, hormones are re-allocated throughout the plant after breaking apical dominance and/or pruning, and my theory is that you can plan/time this to take advantage or create an “ideal” situation for the graft to take hold. I haven’t tried grafting yet, just reading and planning still.

Ive thought about the things that you mentioned. Documenting the rate of recovery for the grafts made at various levels of a plant is a worthwhile endeavor.

Basic plant biology would suggest that the top section of the plant would probably recover the quickest, since the majority of hormones are allocated to the terminal bud on a branch.

I wonder if a tongue graft would be more effective if its done to the tallest branch of the plant? I am definitely going to try that next.

Im going to purchase some grafting clips. Ive seen videos of this clip being used for rootstock grafts done to tomatoes. They come in many different sizes.
