Re: Grafting hops to cannabis... this is the info I got?? [Re: RJLR]

I agree with Anno that hops grafted onto cannabis rootstock doesn't produce a stealth source of cannabinoids. There is also a graft process that splits a growing bud of hops down the middle, horizontally, called an apical graft. The split hops bud is grafted to a split cannabis bud, and tissues from both plants mix together in the resulting growth. I've never done one, so it might produce a canna/hops plant.

A more interesting graft is possible, however. If one roots a healthy hops cutting, and waits for it to produce a very extensive and healthy root system, one can graft a cannabis bud that has just started flowering (around the stage where the bud is producing many flowers and few leaves) to the hops rootstock. The plant will still look something like a cannabis plant, but the bud will draw from the stored energy in the hops roots and produce a huge bud with few, if any leaves. The plants look like a big, fat, leafless cola growing on an otherwise bare hops "stick".

Hops plants could be rooted in many pots and grown outside without worry. Then the grafts could be made and the flowers would finish their growth inside a grow room, taking up less space as the cannibis flower converts the stored nutrients in the hops root into cannabis resins. A product called elastic thread, from a sewing goods store, is great stuff for wrapping the grafted parts so they heal together. I think something called a side graft or whip graft is the best one to use.

By using well-rooted hops bases that have fairly small stems, a little smaller than a pencil, it does work. Because of the small size of the bud's stem, a side graft is best. If you take many small buds from one plant that has just started flowering, and graft them to several hops plants' rooted bases, the buds will grow much larger than they would have on the single cannabis plant. The buds also look very strange because they don't grow like normal plants; they are just fat, nearly leafless colas on a short, maybe six inch tall hops stump.

Someone has also grafted cannabis buds to a large, trellised hops vine. The buds stay nice and healthy, but the hops vine doesnt' seem to send the buds much energy. I think one would have to remove all the hops leaves and growing tips so the vine has no choice but to send all the growth to the cannabis buds. It's also more difficult to control the light periods when the hops vine is outdoors.

If it were possible to graft a hops shoot onto a rooted cannabis stalk, and it grew to produce hops appearing foliage with cannabis potency, I think someone would have seen the product by now. Everyone would be growing stealth mj and the market would be flooded with the stuff. Anybody seen anything like this, ever?
