Grafting experiment. Flowering plant on a vegging root stock and different sexes

So I have a male plant in veg and needed to graft a female plant I had in flower to something to keep it alive and reveg it since my plant count is full. Well I thought i caught it early and it would go right back to vegging if I put it on a plant in vegetative state, it did not. The flowering hormone got started and caused the node below the graft to start pushing bananas. I believe it was @Nagel420 that asked what would happen if you grafted an flowering plant to a plant in veg and here are the results with photo proof.

How long did that take to start putting out male flowers?

after the graft about a week or two just like normal the weird part was it was just THAT node. I checked him over everywhere else. i imagine it is a concentration thing since only that one part is pumping florigen hormone.

I wonder how long it’s going to take to reveg the graft!

the graft is flowering way slower than the mother so I think it is slowly running out of flowering hormone. I keep my veg area on 24/7 because I reveg in the same area so I know she should be “vegging” according to lighting. she just snaps into flower at the drop of a hat so it might take a awhile to convince her not to.

Wow, what an awesome observation and way cool thing to see! Only the node below the graft too, so I agree, a local concentration. Still awesome to see it actually have an effect on the rootstock like that!

Even though I know grafting happens to lots of plants every day, it still seems a bit like magic every time I see it.

Thanks for showing this off!

For some reason :blush: I think @PetalPowerseed isn’t a dude either (did I see that in another thread or am I completely trippin? :sweat_smile:

My thought is that most of us wouldn’t have pulled that off…. The plant’d be dead in a day & smoked asap :rofl:

Speaking of grafting this is a hindsight female with planet of the grapes and ssh

Never thought about puttin a female cut into a male stalk though

Graft a chosen male into a female, throw in a box and let pollination happen, clip off the male part and run till the end.
Or multiple males and females on one plant, one plant open pollination runs.
Plant counts are a thing for me too, so this might happen someday. Ya know, in my dreams haha.

Very pretty mom you got there! I am still rebuilding my graft mom after a tragic accident so he had to be the one. Everything else was to flimsy or small

This reminds me of those old magazine ads for “fruit salad” trees… :thinking:

Really helps the home grower maintain a bigger library. :+1: wow. :slight_smile:

Seen the old timers do it with peach trees and grapes as well. Very cool

I learned to graft from an plant nerd that was about 75 at the time so that tracks. Folks have been doing it for a while

Peace @PetalPowerseed Thanks for posting the results to this. I have not thought about this but it now interests me. So a plant that has been grafted as such would retain whatever properties it had b4? ( I know in other things but in weed?) Could that be a way to get regular beans from clone only strain :thinking:. Stay safe… :fist:t5::call_me_hand:t5:
Peace
