The first pic is mom in her hood. Don't want her to dry out. Next is with the canopy withdrawn. Once I am sure the grafts are solid the canopy goes away.


Next we have a graft that is almost two weeks attached.
I used grafting wax and water. This time I used a thicker target and donor branch. The donor had 2 fans that I cut in half and a small sprout starting. Now look at her.

I just might have pulled it off.
If this works I am going to add at least one more graft to momma.


I think I can......

Beautiful! cant wait to see how it turns out. another thing to consider is some plants will tend to favor the stock (momma) over the scion (donor branch) you may need to prune new growth in the stock plant until the scion is growing vigorously. also keep in mind that the union will be weak for a while even after the graft has taken, you may want to splint it to give it some extra support.

i think im going to put my pollen project on hold for a while and give this a shot. maybe i missed it but what strains are you using for your stock and scion?

I'm so happy it seems to have worked! This is something I have thought about for a long time, and now I know the answer. But, just to be clear, there is no way the DNA from either plant will mix? You will always have truly DNA separate plants?

Again, not talking about human genetics.
Mom?
