Jeebus, if I wasn't the op, i would have subbed to this thread by now.
IC mag rocks, I hope I never get banned.

Does this mean an approach graft?Actually..no one has attempted it...and no one knows exactly why some does not graft. This is what is called emerging science.
It takes trial and errors to know for a fact it does not work. Proper science is not saying something can not work unless the trial and errors has been performed.
Like I stated before...there has been cases of plants from different families actually grafting and staying alive for 5 months...5 months is enough time for a cannabis plant to be harvested.
and not to be rude..but where exactly is your grafting trial and errors..or anything else science related? Just saying.
Herbaceous plants of different families have most defiently been grafted and lived for awhile..tomato and cannabis are both herbaceous. So you can not say for a fact it would not work. Feel free to post photos or anything that has showed any attempts to graft cannabis to a tomato.
Cellular recognigtion, wounding response, growth regulators, and incompatable toxins are what determines if 2 plants will graft.
------------------------
Successful grafts have been made with the following plants of different families:
Tomato and Cabbage, Tomato and Chrysanthemum, Tomato and Cineraria, Tomato and Coleus, Tomato and Zinnia.
Other examples include:
Kidney bean and Cocklebur, Kidney bean and Castor-oil bean, Sunflowe rand Melon, Jerusalem artichoke and Black nightshade, Coleus acaranthus, Aster and Phlox, Maple and Lilac.
The Tomato and cabbage and the artichoke and nightshade gave good unions on account of their "herbaceous" nature and rapid growth, while astor and phlox, somewhat advanced in growth, and a year old maple and lilac united with difficulty except on very young shoots. The success of these experiments concludes that the "old" idea that only plants belonging to the same family can be grafted on each other does "NOT" apply to "grafting by approach".
There is ALOT of advantages to grafting that can not be gotten in other means...alot of these advantages have already been covered.
Planting a bunch of seeds will not give you the advantages of grafting such as size boost, controlling height, mold and disease resistance, among the many other advantages.
"you can grow any plant to have a big root mass and it will produce more." Sure if you keep increasing the container size...100 gallon container will of course grow a more massive plant..however big bud or money maker in a 100 gallon container will produce a even bigger plant. However bigger container does not effect genetics. The root mass however is genetic. Bigger the root mass then the bigger the plant...nearly everything starts in the root mass. Big bud and money maker naturally creates big plants...so is logical to use them as rootstock to get size boost.
Adding chemicals to get a bigger plant becomes a less healthy product...however with grafting you do not need the extra chemicals however voodoo juice helps in grafting for size. This give us another major advantage...size boost without chemicals.
Just so you know..cactus grafting is far different than regular plant grafting.
If that is what you think then clearly you do not understand grafting.
Grafting is NOT to increase numbers..if you want to increase numbers then you are confusing grafting with cloning...just saying
Perfect = male and female both
Imperfect means male or female alone
This is something for ALL plants.
^yeah, they are trying to take grafted vegetable principles and say the same benefits would happen with grafted cannabis
What about time lost for the graft to heal and start growing again?
Sure grafting cannabis can be done but it really isn't worth the cost for the minimum possible benefits (because no one has proved grafting GSC on Big Bud roots will make the GSC scion produce bigger buds), it would be easier to just plant more GSC.
