Re: Reducing floorspace by grafting cultivars onto a older rootball
Would be a great idea but DWC doesn't suit mother plants IMO. Systems with no media suit short runs due to the potential issues that can arise with roots. If you're going to keep a mother for an extended period of time I would recommend using soil. After a year or so you will have to take the rootball out of the pot and give them a trim to keep things in check.Back Room Farmer wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 5:00 amTHis opens up ideas for me as well...........a grafted multistrain mother in hydro DWC...........
Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Re: Reducing floorspace by grafting cultivars onto a older rootball
Did a lot of research on it and with my setup I am pretty confident I can keep a mother plant nicely. Will need to trim and every 6 months trim roots. But I change res every 2 weeks and I treat with hydroguard as well. Just never thought about grafting......seymore_budz wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 8:26 amWould be a great idea but DWC doesn't suit mother plants IMO.
