Ask a Grow Question

Naive question:

If I plant a seed into a pot that contains the rootstock of a harvested plant, will/can the new plant merge its roots with what’s already there?

That rootstock will be dead. It’s an organic amendment for the next grow at that point.

I’ll leave it to people smarter than I to explain how long it will take for the nutrients in those dead roots to be broken down into the soil and absorbed as nutrients in the new plant. But no, the new plant will not “adopt” the root system in of the harvested plant.

What I do. I use my flower tent as my dry tent. As soon as I chop, I leave the pots in the tent with the plants hanging above them. I will water the pots with water and enzymes (new millennium) & microbes. I usually have to water 2x. That helps maintain a good humidity level in my dry tent as well. In 10-14 days roots should be starting to break down into food and now it’s a good seedling soil for me. I do this method in a 3×3 grass roots bed as well, that’s for the veggie garden

What I think you’re reaching for here is what’s called grafting. Some plants, notably fruit trees like peaches plums apricots etc, will in fact allow you to several a limb from One tree and graft it on to another in such a way that that tree will now produce both fruits. I can’t say I’ve ever looked for it, but I am unaware of any research that shows this working in cannabis.

Nope, but thanks. Grafting is a completely different thing to what I described.
