? about Pere. Grafts
    #10205668 -

Hey all I just started trying out some seedling grafts with some P.S. I have.  I am having a bit of trouble with the juices of rootsock pushing the scion off. I have the whole graft in a 2 liter so their probably %100 humidity.

I've done some reading and most of that has stated you want the rootsock to be app. 6 inches so I'm not sure if I just need to let my P.S. grow a bit longer. Thanks in advance for the reply's

dont water it for awhile before grafting so it will dry out the stock a bit

Yeah, looks like the stock was just too full of liquid. Not a bad thing for the stock, but bad for grafting :tongue:

The trick is to have just enough moisture so that the scion "glues" to the stock. Too little, it wont stick. Too much, the scion floats away.
In general, I find that about a week of not watering does the trick.

good advice gentleman, watering the stocks a few days prior to grafting so the juices are sticky is the way to go.

you could lower the humidity somewhat also, it's not neccessary to have it at 100% at all.
remember you need air flow post grafting so the cut surfaces can begin to heal, a 100% humidity environment with no airflow will hinder this process and invite infection.
try putting some decent sized air holes in the bottle or cut the top off completely, 70%-80% humidity is more than sufficient IME.

Thanks guys guess I got a bit confused with all the tutorials out their stating you want the rootstock well hydrated.  Guess I just need to strike the right balance.
I recut the rootstock and put another loph on top except I added a bunch of holes to the top of the 2liter and took the lid off seems to be working so far. We'll see....

^^SFT! I only tried this with one to kinda get an idea I have about 25 more pere's and plenty seedlings to play with so hopefully this one takes and I can start grafting the others soon.
Thanks for all the fast responses!
