Grafting Idea

the idea is to graft a cutting onto a freshly cut down harvested plant.
the idea behind this is not to waste a plant that already has a huge root system and also give the cutting possible faster/bigger growth, compared to a regular clone cutting.

would this be possible?

As long as the vascular cambium tissues are in contact and kept viable, your idea could certainly work. This type of grafting is usually used in a commercial setting for slower growing bushes and trees. Personally, I wouldn't think the growth rate is really an issue with a plant that can easily grow an inch per day.

when a plants harvested its already dying though. wouldnt the roots be in the process of dying too? it would be sweet if it would work, but i think this is one of those things that sounds better on paper. try it though

Interesting link, I think i just revived a dead thread. I think I'm trying this. The only thing I'm telling myselft, is that the plant needs to go back to a veg period to graft succesfully. I feel like during flowering the plant will actually abort seeds,leaves,and lower branches for the greater good of the bud.

I think that would work so long as you left some photo material on the old plant. That way when the new cutting is placed on the plant, it will have some way to gather light until your clipping takes. Keep everything very sterile and clip the two pieces together with a clothes pin/peg.

i read of something similar to this. i think it was the cannabis breeders bible but dont quote me on that. where they would love to try and graft an indica plant (short, bushy, fat buds, small root system) to the stem of a mostly sativa plant with a much larger root system. i thought that would be something cool to try

Yes it can be done, it has been done, it will work but not always done exactly as shown in the picture used. People have taken plants and at harvest cut them more as if they were going to be revegged, leaving more than just a short stump or something, and they would graft cuttings of different varieties with very similar flowering time periods onto what low branching that was left and along with the new grafts receive a vegetative light cycle.

Basically as the grafts heal/become part of the remains of the harvested plant the remains of the harvested plant revert back to a vegetative growth cycle, not as in the same number of days, just as in both processes will be going on at once, and then at that point it is basically just a revegged plant with some different strain or strains grafted to it and growing on it.

If you are good enough and if you are inventive enough and if you really do your homework and if you like to play there are all sorts of things that can be done that are fun. The big question has always been, in the end is it really worth having done it or not?
