Sorry, I'm not here to do your research for you.
Does anyone here make their own feminised seeds?

Grafting is possible. I don't believe that's what dman was saying. The problem with grafting is the scion doesn't have the same vigour as it would with its own root ball.
The other problem with grafting is its very difficult to do with any level of success. I've tried to graft 2 cuts of each mom I have into one rootball. I had one graft take. The scion looks like crap.

The people with a clue gave up on this thread around the time or before someone claiming to be "a researcher in the field" was saying that making feminised seeds with silver is asexual reproduction.
The reality is that it takes an order of magnitude more effort to counter bullshit than it does to spew it, so bullshit continues to be spewed unchallenged. Most people with a clue correctly perceive that they have better things to do.

we were all aware that it was your one account answering your other account.
perhaps everyone assumed you two would figure it out over your coffee break.
I'm sure one of the rats here probably already tried reporting me for multiple accounts, given the paranoid schizophrenia some seem to suffer from, but I'm an individual and have only one account on this site.
What seems more likely in this scenario is the hater horde is a number of individuals with multiple accounts since their comments and opinions are so strikingly similar.
Fortunately, I don't suffer from that level of paranoia and don't have enough fucks to give to care : (
I'm certainly not debating the level of difficulty of grafting. It's not something the average person can perform successfully without extensive research and practice.
The health of the scion will be directly proportional to the quantity of tissue correctly aligned, that being said, I'd speculate you'd have increasing success and scion health with more practice.
How many attempts did you make?
What style of grafts?
Any pictures?

I'm sure success rate would increase with practice. I've not counted attempts but it's more than 20 induvidual cuttings.
All were via a very acute "v" cut on the scion and a stalk split on the host. I tried rooting gel, aloe, and "dry". The sites were covered with teflon tape for the first attempts and I switched to "grafting" tape later. Scions were covered with plastic bags for the first week. All except one withered and or rotted.
Here's the graft site on the only successful graft I've taken (above the tag).
The actual scion (and host for that matter) look like shit right now as I've only been keeping the host alive until her clones root. They rooted a week or so ago and I've stopped watering completely. Tonight I'll cut it down and compost.
Grafting definitely works. I wouldn't bother using grafted plants to flower as the scion never looked as good as her cuttings. I could see it as a good method to keep genetics without using plant count. You'd need to be far more skilled than me and have a lot of time and patience.
Now please stop acting like an entitled douche. While you may not agree with many of the posters in this section the only things you're accomplishing is annoying everyone. Me included.
