This is why im wondering, I have had success in the past with grafting clones to seedling root stalks. A few years ago I had a white strain outside that a mouse or some shit chewed through. This plant was a foot tall. I knew it was a female because i sex early indoors. So i had this plant, in half, root stalk with not even a single leaf, and a one foot plant virtually unharmed. (minus the roots being cut off of course) So i rubbed that shit in hormone, and planted it. Kool shit #1, This was essentially a one foot clone, so not expecting it to live i just left it outside without a humidity dome or any protection, the opposite of what you would do with normal clones. it sure as hell didnt get special treatment. To my surprise that baby rooted within a week and had new growth! She got 4 feet tall that year and yielded 2oz! Boo yeah never done that before Kool shit #2, I had a female purple strain i wanted to clone for seed. So i cloned that sucka off onto the rootstock for the white strain thinking if it took it would be starting with 2 months worth of roots. I mixed a tiny amount of root hormone in some organic honey i had, dipped the clone tip, and the root stalk tip in that, and used micro pore tape to stick the two together. That went hardcore droopy and lost a few leaves, but it did mend after about 3 weeks i think, then it grew rather well! I did pollinate it and it produce bountiful seed!
(ACTUAL QUESTION) So I know it is possible to mend a clone to a seedling root stalk, been there done that. But, can i clone a female cutting onto a male root stalk??? Im wondering where in the plant sex is determined? Like, my theory is it will go hermie i think. If genetically that plant has a male chromosome then it will be present in the leaf, bud, stem, roots and everywhere right? Cutting the top off doesn't make it.. sexless. It is still male and would show male characteristics if allowed to re-grow, correct?
So what would happen to the female cutting grafted on top??
i had a boggle gum male root stock with 4 different female clones on it all summer. it is 100% possible but it will put out balls when its old enough it doesnt matter if its 12/12

Back the tape up. I need it again!
Let it roll! Just as high as the fucker can go!
And when it comes to that fantastic note
where the rabbit bites its own head off,
I want you to THROW THAT FUCKING
RADIO INTO THE TUB WITH ME!
Not me. It would blast you through
the wall stone dead in ten seconds and they'd make me explain.
So you saying when the root stalk gets to maturity it will force balls on the female clones? regardless of what the clones are doing? Did you harvest bud from these clones you grafted?
im just saying thats what happened to me. that plant got destroyed by sandy. I'm on the east coast.

it would likely take so long to heal from the graft.. it wouldnt have much effect on either of them. the would still be two different plants just trying to receive nutrients from the same roots.
im going to say that the grated plant will stay the same sex as it was going to be, because the grafted plant is completely independent (apart from its using another root stock to take up nutrients through.)Using your theory it would mean the plant would also inherit genetic traits of the root stocks strain when in reality you can have multiple strains growing off one root stock without any interference
