Two questions: cannabis "canes" and grafting

[PoppinFresh]

Soooo, is it possible? Do we have information regarding these two things?

Like roses can be come back to life after winter, can marijuana do that as well? I ask because in some FB geoup I can't find again, someone had already harvested some indoor bud.

Anyway, they left the "cane" and it sprouted a few small buds. I've seen that before in my own current grow, just random larf poppin up with fan leaves that have long been gone but I still got 2 to 3 weeks before harvest.

So, is a cannabis cane a thing?

My next question, to be more specific, can I take a cut and graft it to a plant during or after harvest?

I'm near harvest. I'm ready to try both things.

It's best to take clones before flowering.

You can reveg if you leave a few small buds and leaves and put it on 18/6 at least for a few weeks with some high N feeds.

Grafting works on vegging plants but I doubt it once flowering is over… can’t see any advantage in grafting a new branch onto an old rootstock

Your winter might effect this. In the UK, last years plants have rotted beyond recognition. In a 12/12 zone, I think you would be lucky. They are single season plants. A few mutants have popped up though. Forever bud is available in seed, if you have the weather for it.

Yeah reveg takes too long especially when I got plants q'd up, can flower now but keeping them short til I harvest.

Wouldnt the advantage to grafting be having an already developed rootzone? Wouldnt have to wait for the roots. It'd be off to a runnin start.

Damn I want to try but I dont want to wait lol

I think if I try it, I'd do better in soil. Right now, I'm all DWC and indoors. I gotta think about it lol

I think grafting into a flowering plant isn't very promising, since hormonally the plant is in generative phase. Grafting is possible and you can succeed there. There is even a few threads in the forum. Also there was a paper around, where they successfully grafted strains that had bad rooting in cuttings. If u interested, I can dig in my library.

But in the end you would never try to graft into a plant that is in flower. Every wound needs to heal and every stressor might lead to herming. I wouldnt go for it, but in the spirit of science, I would say: Please do and share your results

A One-Step Grafting Methodology Can Adjust Stem Morphology and Increase THCA Yield in Medicinal Cannabis

The standard two-step methods for grafting horticultural crops involve cultivating the rootstock for a period of time and then connecting the scion. Medicinal Cannabis differs from most annual horticultural crops because it is usually clonally propagated from cuttings. We developed a grafting...

You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip friend. Start some new seeds there are plenty of super strains to choose from. Good luck.

Relating to this:

Roses are perennials, Cannabis is (normally) an annual. There is some places where u can partially harvest and reveg, when the winter is mild, but thats pretty unusual. Also there is no reason to do that, since the life cycle of the plant naturally has ended.

I have no scientific evidence by hand, but in my common sense, with some agricultural background, I guess that the aboveground senescence progresses underground as well. You will definetly have to repot and maybe cut the roots, but all in all, I dont think the would benefit your understock =)

But I would be very interested in some real grafting in vegetative plants with different strains. Here in Germany, where u just can grow 3 plants, a grafted plant with 3 strains could give u a total of 9 different bud, which could be a niche for selling ;D

Some of @aliceklar threads have grafting, worth taking a look if interested

By experiment canna is very similar when grafting to tomatoes.
Grafted female tops onto unwanted male rootstock with some success , but the grafts were too physically weak and fragile to stand my growroom.
Three different toms on one plant have been sold in garden centres for years at a premium price and grow out fine.

I've done loads of grafting successfully, but only during veg. The plants need to be actively growing.

I learnt from zif, here:

Cannabis grafting

I've been making a lot of 'new branch' grafts recently. I think they might take even more readily than the wedge graft, and are nice because of how many you can do in a small area in one shot. Basically, you notch a stem where you'd like a new branch, cut a chisel shape onto the scion, and then...
