These are some of the small plants I use to take scion from. (post 252)
I decided to graft them too. None of the branch are from the original rootstock. There are at least 8 strains grafted on each plants…
The growth pattern of each strains is easily recongnizable. Here is an example of the three leaved cut of God Bud x Straberry Cough
Here is an other multistrain plant that lack some nitrogen...

very cool darpa! looking forward to the late flower pics. hope they are multicolored jewels by then!
for reference, how tall is that fencing?

simply astonishing is all i can say, the plants looks incredible
can not wait to see it in full flower
keep up the great work sir!
Do you graft the earlier maturing varieties to a base stock of later maturing varieties? I have done it both ways and an earlier flowering stock is not the best way. Be sure and use late flowering base stocks to graft the earlier scions to. I also grafted male scions to female base stocks that also worked well, I even did a female base stock with 5 different male scions each a different variety, and they all worked well. They matured and flowered sequentially. Do the grafts you make mature and flower sequentially? Males faster than females of the same variety? Have you tried using an early male and grafted late maturing females to it? I neved tried grafting Auto varieties either as base stocks or scions. You can get an auto to make callus and then preserve it in Vitro as the callus is undiffentiated cells and do not require long photoperiods to keep veg. It is an easy way to find and keep an elite Auto variety alive for mass production of just the one clone, you do need to be able to mass produce the callus (easy) and get the callus to make shoots so you have lots of xplants for production. Some folks have trouble with the callus making shoots.

Hi Sam! Here are some answer…
Do you graft the earlier maturing varieties to a base stock of later maturing varieties?
I used a well know cut that I developpped over the years, wich I selected from thosand of offsrping and that proved to be a outdoor winner in my climate. It's a heavy producer that get in flowering stage in mid august. (8 weeks of flo) So it's not an early flo or a late one eather.
I did other graft on unknown stoot stock ( mean that I didn't grow them outside). I used few Dosidos cultivar, and supposely fast flowering Big Kush, Green crack and Straberry Couch...
Will see if the Critical + genes will affect the production....

I did graft of some of the Sweeties male cut on those plants... at lest one fully developped branch per plants. The Sweeties is a hell of a plant to grow, clone and monstly graft... But the plant is a killer..
Thricome production in grow stage…
They matured and flowered sequentially. Do the grafts you make mature and flower sequentially?
We will see in about 1 month to 2 months. First time I do multi strain graft for fun... and with theses strains. I'm expecting to see early purple buds from Straberry Couch and Green Crack, then an explosion of the Biker Cross of the roots stock... For all the Dosidos cross, I have no idea...
Males faster than females of the same variety? Have you tried using an early male and grafted late maturing females to it?
All the male rootstock I used for graft ecperiment in the past were thron aways... in reason of limited experiment space...

There is some interesting research about that. I'll try to post soon. It's not that complicated... But personnaly I didn't tried auto graft yet... I'm working on a high CBD auto floweriing strain instead... But its something I try soon!!!

It about 6 feets. I can walk behind the plant and you would'nt see me and I am 5,9..... The Biker Kush cross did a 2x streaching last 3 years….. so I'm expecting them to be about 10 to 15 feets talls...
Sam, that’s a great question about what happens with grafting autos.
Might shed some light on exactly what role ‘stress’ and/or root restriction plays in triggering autos. I’m betting auto scions will flower almost immediately, but who knows?!
I’ll add a couple auto scions to the next plant I build!

This thread shows some of the best qualities and highest values of the ICMAG community. We started with curiosity and speculation, tempered both with a good dose of skepticism over the first few pages, then the bomb-ass practical experimenters among us went out to show and prove and jeez... Amazing results. Zf, Darpa, Bombud. You guys are the bees knees.

All I see is "Gw did it in the past with DEA approval while you were in prison, and keeps their mouth closed about anything important
until forced to PR."
Icmag taught me to buy GW stock and nothing more.

Scion cold storage?
Scion cold storage?
This thread is fascinating for someone who has plant number problems/mother keeping limitations like me.
I've been really interested in figuring out how to maintain genetics with minimal upkeep. Clone storage in the fridge works and is a great asset.
Can one prepare a scion and keep it in suspended animation for some period of time, to graft at a later date?!
Cheers!

As long as it stays hydrated, and you re cut the scion before grafting, it should work I suppose.
Grafted bonsai plant mothers are great to keep plant numbers down. I do this to keep my strain library down to two plants, mother and father.

Cheers BW. Compiling and archiving a scion library from an entire golden tiger breeders pack is starting to feel possible. Wonder if they might even endure longer storage than clones.
I've done bonsais as well to save on space in a micro veg pod. What I'm thinking of is to drop lots of beans on an OD run, harvest scions and store in fridge, then graft and reestablish those coming from the winning phenos in the OD flower run.

I stored 4 inch rooted cuttings in a fridge with TL lights for 6 months or longer, they are at a max of 5C and hardly need watering they also hardly grow, I also kept the light cycle at 1 hour on 4 hours off so only about 4.25 hours of light a day, but because the darkness was never more that 4 hours zero problems with them staying veg. I used soil but others have used rockwool when I told them how I did it. The fridge had lights with timers inside the fridge. I used 3 copies of each clone incase I had any losses.
