Why would you say that? It’s been done for centuries with trees like maples and fruit trees to deliver a strong root system to a desirable tree that doesn’t. Multiple websites on how to do it.

Not to speed up a grow necessarily, I’m was just saying it is very possible and in many industries widely used. Take Japanese maples for example. It’s almost impossible to get some varieties that are not grafted onto a stronger root system first, usually that of Acer Rubrum, just a stronger rooting maple. So if you have a great Thai chocolate but it is finicky and has root rot problems, you could graft that onto a Dosidos that has a strong root system. Now you have a frankenplant as you say with the best of both.

If you've ever bought a fruit tree for your front yard, Its probably been grafted.
I dont think this is common for pot, but Im not aware of any scientific reasons why.

I'd have to think that the time for the graft to heal would negate any time gained by a larger root system . Might be a push , or possibly add time .

i think the only reason to graft pot would be if you had a plant with exceptional buds, terps, etc. but a weak root system, grafting could be a way to ensure a good harvest with less problems. Weed grows in just one season so any real time gain would be negligible I agree, unless you’re dealing with a great strain with poor roots. Then it could make all the difference, people now are just starting to play around with grafting weed, time will tell if it’s worth the effort for some strains. Most weed grows like a weed, so I’m not sure how many strains are left that would benefit. Some of the older landraces probably would have, but seeing how we bred them away we may never know.

Makes you wonder since some trees start giving new fruits after grafting.would a sativa grafted to indica affect the plant in any ways.
Allsoo if you finish a grow and cut the plant but graf a new seedling to the bottom will the roots make it grow like crazy or will it be considered a reveged plant

well THEORETICALLY yes but why? I mean, rather take clones? When taking clones you can apply a root stimulator to make them develop faster, however I'm not sure if ganja specifically can "connect" with another plant's roots. Perhaps if the strain is the same and the bath of seeds is the same. Most strains are hybrids so they are gonna twitch on you and some phenotype may appear so...I'd rather not

You can graft there is a lot of 10 strain trees on youtube people do it where plant number is limited but you want to have more strains to clone

Gardener's one apple tree with 250 varieties grafted onto it
The 20ft high 'family tree' at Paul Barnett's home in Chidham, West Sussex is jam-packed with apples of all different shapes, colours and sizes.

Yes and no a pure indica wont develop as big or an extensive root system as a pure sativa so in this sense yes it be more vigourous if u graft a pure indica onto a sativa rootstock not if was other way round also most weed today is already a hybrid of both so it dont apply so much to them tbh grafting is more useful for keeping plant numbers down ie have 6 strains as one plant rather than 6 separate ones

You can graft cannabis but I don't know about the benefits of it to speed things up, it seems logical that a bigger more vigorous root ball would be advantageous but there would be a time penalty?
Its bluchi and blueberry lemon shake up, I also added gg4 a while after this.
My purpose was just messing around for the fun of it I wanted to make tri pheno mother.

If you put a rock wool cube around the joint then treat it like a clone you'll increase your chances significantly, after they graft together let the cube dry out to get rid of any roots.
