Grafting a clone...

Not sure where to post this but ill try here...I've wondered about this for some time now...When you harvest a female, there is a nice healthy root structure just sitting there, right? Then you take a cutting/clone from a healthy vegging plant and graft them together and return to veg. Basically, this would give you a clone with a giant root structure...right? Could this be advantageous to letting a clone root on its own?

Now i posted this before and was told it was "not plausible"...well plausible is an opinion, so i'm wondering if anyone has tried this or can explain why its not practicle or just plain wont work. Thanks

im no botanist but i heard that when you cut down a plant, the plant will shed some of its roots to stay proportionate to the size of the canopy. but it doesnt hurt to try and i am interested in what would happen. i get your logic though.

Ahhh...interesting. I know that you can re-veg a plant after harvesting more than once, but i don't know if any root loss occurs. You could also use a fairly large clone to provide more foliage and balance out with the roots. hrmmm

If it works, I shall call it the "Chi-mo" method....(child molester) because these nasty old roots are takin' advantage of this young lil' clone. LOL!
