Why do you want someone to do this so badly?? Ti's already been done, and besides mothers, has shown that the're is no real benefit. Grafting one strain that yields less to a root stock of a larger yielding strain really doesn't do much to benefit the grafted strain. And it just adds more time into your growing process.
Why do you do it buddy?? Do you think you don't have the skills or something?
And why an auto flower to a mother?? Just so you can have a branch that's flowering while you take clones for your real grow?? Again, seems like a waste of time to me. But to each their own I guess.

I don't think that whole post was directed towards me except this part.
Few reasons. If it is a big mother that would give both a big root system and a large surface area that should make the autofower have bigger buds than normal.
It would be flowering in the veg room, on a mother that would be in there anyway without adding another plant count. Get buds off your mother while the clones flower also.
Well they have tried this in a sense. Not with mother plants but just your whole flowering plant. They attach a branch of a strain that yields less to the root system of a strain that was higher yielding in hope to get a bigger yield from the grafted strain. It ended up that the grafted strain did not produce any more than it would have on it;s own.

Oh yeah that could work, I don't really do any breeding though so I'm no expert in it.

It doesn't matter. It's already been done, and shown that it doesn't increase yield.

The video that they posted up top mentioned it. if you would have watched it and listened they tried what I was describing.
Now as to the root base size, the train of though t you have makes sense. But I still doubt that it would work in obtaining bigger buds. Just my opinion on that. But feel free to do and prove me wrong. And continually keeping it in veg hours would just use more electricity no??

It MAY give it a boost. you wont know until you try though. And all my mothers stay under floros so it would be a waste of time and effort for me to try it. Plus I don't have any auto-flower strains.

Then by all means. Do it and prove me wrong.

Yeah I was thinking about that after i made my last post. You can't even really clone autos because of this. So i was figuring i'd let them find out the hard way.

No, he's talking about having 4 different strains grafted onto 1 plant. Not breeding,.

Yes but we were not talking about breeding. And the more valid point to having more than one strain on a plant is not so much to flower it, but keep it as a mother so you don't have to have as many mothers.
