Grafting Contest

Start of the contest (10/09/2024)
Selection of winners (when someone deserves it)


Attention Hackers!

Tired of the same rules and limitations?

We challenge you to exceed the limits of your indoor with our Grafting Contest.

Here there are no limits to the amount of legal genetics in your indoor, other than your ability to make grafts and your creativity.

The objective is to unite as many genetics as you can in a single plant and demonstrate that you are the best grafter in the community.

It doesn't matter if you use automatic or photoperiodic!
Everything is allowed as long as you do it quickly and well.

The contest is simple: graft various genetics onto a cannabis plant, bring the plant to flowering, and harvest each genetic at the right time.
The graft must thrive and develop its own flowering.
Meanwhile, you can upload photos of the process on our website and accumulate votes from the community.
The person who receives the most votes or is recognized for their skill will win prizes and a ton of ego!

1
Make your graft and take photos of each stage of the process. Upload the photos to our website so everyone can see how you did it.
2
As the plant progresses through its cycle, document the flowering process, showing the different grafted genetics flowering on the same plant. Upload those photos too!
3
The SuperCannabis community will vote for the best-made, best-documented grafts with the most impressive results. The votes you receive will help you redeem incredible prizes!

Cannabis is like any other plant, it's very easy to graft. You cut a branch, attach it to some part of the recipient plant, secure it with something, and with enough moisture, a magical tissue called a callus forms, which allows both plants to unite.

In scientific terms, when plants are grafted, the tissues of both begin to interact at the cellular level.

The cambium layers of both plants, located just beneath the bark, align and produce new cells, forming a connecting bridge we call the "callus."

This callus is crucial for the success of the graft, as it allows the exchange of nutrients and water between the two plants.

There are several ways to graft, and one of the most effective and easiest is the one Milton shows in his approach grafting tutorial.


In this method, both plants remain in their own pots while a branch from the donor plant is attached to the stem or a branch of the recipient plant. After about 20 days, both plants will have joined, and it will be safe to separate them.

The graft will continue to grow as if it were a natural branch, and you can enjoy its fruits at the right time.

Materials:

- Several plants of different genetics.
- Tape or clip to secure.
- Sharp scalpel or box cutter.

1
Select the donor plant and the recipient plant. Both should be healthy and in good condition.
2
Make a clean cut on the donor plant, preferably on a branch that fits well with the recipient.
3
Make the same type of cut on the recipient plant so that the cuts on both plants align correctly.
4
Join the two plants at the cut point, ensuring that the cambium layers (just beneath the bark) align as closely as possible.
5
Secure the plants with tape or a clip to keep them firm and ensure the graft takes hold.
6
Keep the plants well-hydrated and in controlled humidity conditions. After 20 days, check the graft to ensure the callus has formed correctly.
Advantages of Approach Grafting:
- The plants remain alive in their own pots until the graft forms.
- You don't need to cut the donor plant completely, reducing the risk of loss.
- You can try multiple grafts on a single plant to increase genetic diversity.

What do I need to participate?
You need a permit to grow in your country (if you're in Argentina, that would be the ReproCann), two plants of different genetics, a scalpel or box cutter, and some tape or a clip to attach the plants during grafting.

Do the flavors and characteristics of the grafted plants mix?
No, each grafted branch retains the characteristics of the original genetic. You won't change the flavor or properties of the grafted genetic.

How long does it take for a graft to join?
Approximately 20 days. This is the time normally required for the callus to form and the two plants to unite securely.

What happens if I graft autoflowering and photoperiod plants together?
It's possible, but keep in mind that autoflowering plants have a shorter life cycle, so they will flower before the photoperiod plants. This can make it a bit tricky to manage the grow, but it's all part of the challenge.

How many genetics can I graft onto a single plant?
The only limit is your skill! You can graft as many genetics as you can manage on one plant, as long as each graft has the necessary time to join properly.

If my country only allows 9 flowering plants, can I have more genetics in my indoor grow with this technique?
Yes! Our idea is that you can have many genetics in your indoor grow without exceeding the legal limit of flowering plants. With this technique, you can have one plant with several grafted genetics. For example, you can have 5 genetics on one plant or 40 genetics distributed across 9 plants. Your skill is the only limit!

Can grafting be done outdoors and indoors?
Yes, it doesn't matter if your grow is outdoors or indoors. As long as the plant has the right conditions of light, temperature, and humidity, grafting can work in both environments.

Why is Mantecol so delicious?
It's impossible to know.

What should I do if my graft doesn't work?
It's common for grafts not to take the first time. Don't get discouraged! Try again, and remember that practice makes perfect. Ensure that your plants are healthy and well-hydrated during the process.
