Grafting

Marijuana Horticulture

by Jorge Cervantes

Little is known about grafting cannabis. Yes, it is possible to graft cannabis to hops. Most often the hop stem is grafted to a cannabis rootstock. The plant will live; however, it will not produce THC.

I asked a number of growers if they had experimented with grafting, and none had. Grafting an indica stem to a large sativa rootstock would be an interesting experiment. The larger root system could easily supply water and nutrients to the smaller indica plant. The resulting plant would be drought resistant.
