Grafting Cannabis with a Cypress

[sbruftl]

Hi everyone here!
Let me ask you a question, is it possible to graft cannabis with a cypress (a small one)? I know that's possible to put cannabis on hop. I was wondering if it could be done even with other plants. It's not important to have flowers. I just want to be sure that if i combine them the cannabis plant won't die, in other words, as I graft the cannabis, will the plant take "food" and water as normal?
It might sound crazy, but I'm probably going to try it…

Allow me to offer you a warm welcome to the community!
It already looks like you will fit right in. ;D

Interesting Q

I can't say wether it would work. But I'd start by trying to match the woodiness of the cypress w the cutting your hopping to graft. So maby try a slightly older tougher branch of canna jst so they match up in a physical sense.

Let us know how it works out.
Best of luck and happy growing.

try and make a thread!! welcome to the ic

 

[Kiloz]

An experiment? lets do this huh

 

[OakyJoe]

They dont have the same counts on chromosoms and others so prob not possible

 

[stihgnobevoli]

try it, what have you got to lose?

 

[vitamingreeninc]

Why though? Just curious

Very inquisitive first post and welcome…

But I don’t think it will work. They are from different plant families. Grafting is most successful within the same species, joining 2 different cultivars. It can be done with different species from the same genus. There are also examples of successful grafting of plants with different genera but from the same family.

The success rate kind of works down the line starting with species…species > genus > family.

Take a look at tomato grafting, or any other grafting and see what the requirements are. In a nutshell you want the growth as close to the same age as possible to make a smoother graft transition. Adding an unrelated plant to the equation is asking for a challenge to say the least.

Thank you everyone for your answers! I know that these two plants have nothing in common, I've used the same soil and the same nutrients for both plants.
My first will for that cypress was to make a bonsai, but I changed my mind.
I don't care a lot for my cypress… but I do for this "experiment", now, what I am going to do is to wait until I can have a few cuttings, I'll choose one of them and I'm going to graft with the little cypress. But, how am I going to do this? By transversely cutting the trunk then I'll put the chosen cutting inside and gently close them together with a tiny rope. I will put some photos when I begin to do this "experiment".

nah bro, wont work...

they are different plant families, hence "incompatible" on many levels for the graft and "rootstock" to merge, theoretically you could try n graft it on other cannabecaes

blessss
ps.: whats the motive if i may axe?

 

[Mikell]

Read up on approach graft. If it's going to work, the younger the plants, the higher chance of success.

Rather skeptical myself, but hell, why not try? Even if it doesn't work out, you've picked up a bit of knowledge and experience

 

[sbruftl]

You're right it probably won't work, but just image if I could play to be God for a second and merge them tighter. I'm joking.
The motive is because I've nothing to do and I want to try something new. Keep imaging, keep trying.
In a pair of weeks my cuttings will be done so I'll update you.
Let's pretend just for a second that it will work…

I've wondered myself about grafting small cuttings from a mom onto hops plants. would you end up with a hops plant & buds growing on it in the fall? just curious... would be cool if it worked...

 

[sbruftl]

Yes you will have some hops and some buds. Grafting with an hop plant surely will produce results, unless you've done something wrong or something didn't work properly.

Here's the simple reason why grafting with hops is better…

I think your chances of success will be greater if you tie the graft closed with a tiny hemp rope.

I thought hops was the only thing so far grafted to weed

 

[budman678]

I have grafted different colors jap maples together. Gorgeous of course

I saw you could graft cannabis to hops long long ago and from what I remember it works but the dominant plant is the hops and if you've ever grown hops, it grows a few feet per day sometimes so the buds on the cannabis don't really get a chance to be their full potential. People were trying to get the genes to mix so their hops would bloom buds or fast huge growing cannabis plants. There were YouTube videos if I remember right. This was about a year ago I was looking at this though.

Btw, we have an apple tree with a different apple for each branch. the apples are small and the tree just doesn't seem to thrive. I have heard of people grafting different strains into a single main stalk just the same. Takes a while for it to recover but is great for keeping mums within your numbers.
