·1 hr 4 min·5 clips

Tommy Chon explains how grafting cannabis lets you combine multiple strains on a single plant.

In this episode of Grow Guides, the hosts introduce grafting cannabis plants, a method unfamiliar to many growers. They define grafting as attaching a scion (cutting) to a rootstock, allowing multiple strains to grow on one plant. The panel discusses practical applications, such as circumventing legal plant limits or creating multi-strain mother plants. They delve into the science, emphasizing the need for cambium layer alignment for successful fusion. A detailed tutorial covers required tools like sterile blades and cling film, along with techniques like V-cuts for stem preparation. Common mistakes include misalignment, drying out, and using unhealthy plants. The hosts recommend starting with vegetative-stage plants and doing multiple grafts for backup. Later, the episode shifts to listener mail, answering questions about edibles, autoflower recommendations, long-term cannabis storage, and training methods. The panel shares personal experiences, such as Smee preferring baked goods for edibles due to fat content and recommending Mephisto and Dutch Passion autoflowers. Storage advice ranges from mason jars for short-term to vacuum-sealed freezing for over a year. The episode concludes with humorous banter and an outro encouraging listener engagement.
