It would take time but i to me it would be worth it in the end just to see this amazing bush with diff assortments of nugs. yea mainly if not purely cosmetic but if i had a plant with purple and white nugs that would just look sick. Yea sure its a challenge but i love a challenge and if i get it right fist time ill be sure to rub it in your face satch lol jk. thanks for the clarification phatlip.

My dad grafted cannabis to a hops vine when I was younger.. The growth was MJ leaves that never flowered or produced any visible resin, and smoked like young fan leaves as expected..
There was a thread a while back where the OP was trying to graft different strains together in hopes of getting a multistrain mother plant.. I'm thinking that may have died though because I don't think I'd get bored and unsubscribe that one..

no benifits the only thing u would get is say a bubblegum plant with a big bud branch grafted to it. it cannot be clonned and contine to grow both fruits unles each diff branch is cloned and re grafted again. it can take a few weeks for the graft to take. wasting prescious growing/flowering time. Also pot (marijuana) is a annual it normally dies each season, so once the grafted plant was flowered for it to be re used and worth even grafting in the 1st place it would need re veg which can take more weeks. in my opinion not worth doing. Its done with plants mainly as the stem say on a particular rose its roots are weak and no good so they graft the stem to a root stock which has fast growing roots. Also done with apples as each yaer they will produc the diff fruits. my 2 cents.

right!! thats why its done with roses... i wanted to try it but after figuring all the time involved... until i have a warehouse... i dont have the room or the time... but i think its an interesting concept... if someone had the time and room for it... i would be interested to see the results

that would be cool to do what brick top said and have a plant with colas of bluberry and OG kush and different colored buds all on the same plant. although i could have understood him wrong.

You can do it but something you have to keep in mind is if you mix certain strains you can then face certain difficulties.

If you graft a light feeder like Blueberry onto the same plant as you also graft a heavy feeder you will kill off the Blueberry graft if you feed the plant like the heavy feeder would like or underfeed the heavy feeder to keep the Blueberry part happy and you also have to consider the needs of the old plant that was used to be grafted to and if it can take or thrive with the same feeding the grafts need.
　
Then you can expect to harvest in sections or groups because unless you pick strains to graft that have very similar flowering time lengths different grafted strains will mature at different times.

To some for the variety from just one plant or maybe two plants, if that is all they have room for, it will be worth doing that and to others they would feel the variety of strains would not be worth the effort especially if they have a large amount of room to grow in and can have variety but by growing individual plants rather than by grafting different strains onto one or maybe two plants.
　
But it can be done if you can graft and then deal with all else that may or will follow.

+rep for pointing out the compatible strain factor..

Edit: Apparently you made a point that impressed me too recently, I can't nudge your rep now.. Something tells me you don't give a shit though..:)

Thought I would throw my two cents in here, a good reason to graft a cutting/seedling to a large rootstock, if done correctly, will give the scion access to larger amounts of nutrients and water then it would normally achieve from it's just started roots. This won't effect the amount of yield you get but just allow that scion to grow up faster.

image.jpgJust a small graft done by cutting the main stem in a cross-section (x) and inserting seedling (in this case after being dipped in rooting powder) and securing with string, twister ties or etc and keeping it moist. Constant watering or enclosing within a bag to keep up the humidity. Hope to show difference between that and another seedling from the batch.
