Crossing strains with only female clones???

My brother and I had an argument. He tells me you can cut clones from 2 different strains and put the cuttings together at the slice, and the DNA or RNA will cross as the roots grow as one. I don't think it will work. I cut 2 clones this morning, snowcap and pink panther to try it out. I'll post how it goes but if any one has any information on weather it works or not would be apreciated.

when you splice plants, the genetics don't mix. the half that started as x brand will stay x, the side that started as y will stay y. It will be like 2 different plants growing on one stalk, if it survives.

That's what I thought we are still arguing about it but I did it 2 days ago and only one clone looks happy so we will see

its called plant grafting. you can take two different plants and put one top on one stock(base and roots) and have it grow. people do this with plants that are perennial and have large root systems and graft on to those roots a different plant top. it will fuse together as one and grow normal. but the dna and rna or whatever you said will not fuse into one new sequence. they will just simply grow separately but they have the same roots. get it? just check plant grafting online and you can read more.

Yeah I've looked into it in the past. You can graft 2 plants together and will get 2 strains on one plant but they will not be crossed. Also in my opinion more work that it's worth. Much less hastle growing 2 plants stArt to finish I think.

What's up glassblower you have any pink panther clones?

About the only real use I can see for grafting cannabis plants is if a med patient and due to state laws you are so limited on numbers of plants, including mothers, that you cannot have as many different mothers as you would like ... then you graft other strains onto a single mother or each mother you have, putting a tag or a some sort of identification of some kind on each graft so you know which branch is which strain, and then you can keep your total number of plants in line but have more strains to take clones from.

Even though technically cannabis is an annual, when never put into flower you are basically growing it like a perennial and then cloning cannabis that way would make sense and be worth the effort.
