Now THAT is cool. I wonder what the beer would be like?

Im sure ive read many times before this method doesnt work.

 

They dont even have any pics ffs

Yeah its a myth.

if you graph a hops plant on to a MJ bush you have

a/ killed the mj plant eg- you just cut it off

b/ you now have nothing more than a hops plant with MJ roots. and we all know the roots dont make THC the plant does.

 

 

This is an old wives tale.

The hops portions remain as hops, the cannabis portions remain as cannabis, and look like it too.

 

It's a very old myth, started a looooong time ago when a guy called warmke decided that a good way to tell if "the active principle" of cannabis was present in plant material, was to dunk it into water with some fish. If it killed the fish, it had the "poison" in it.

 

Needless to say, that proves zip. Partly because THC is an oil and isn't soluble, and partly because it was a totally flawed thesis in the first place. THC and the other cannabinoids which get you high are not found in the sap of the plant, nor is it generated in the roots. It cannot pass the graft point, as it doesn't get generated in interior tissues. THC and cannabinoids are generated in trichomes on the surface of the leaves, flowers, and to a far, far lesser extent, the surface of the stems. These are glands which produce varying amounts of thc and other potentiating and interfering cannabinoids according to their strain, and environmental circumstances. Potency is primarily affected by genetics however, more than 90%. Growing potent plants badly will obviously produce plants which are less potent, but growing a less potent strain well will only ever yeild less potent pot.

 

mr asia, I would suggest that the site you read this at is crap.

 

The only possible, and this is very unlikely, advantage would be if the hops root system was either more vigourous than mj's, (which is very unlikely) or was resistant or immune to a particular root disease which affects MJ, like possibly fusarium or particular pythium variants. But once again, that's unlikely, and anyway, it's far easier, and cheaper, to just get yourself a resistant strain, or better yet, just improve your growing methods so that you don't get such diseases in the first place.

 

To grow a pot plant that doesn't look like a pot plant is impossible. You can get away with something that doesn't quite look like a vegetating plant by either mutilating leaves as they initially develop, (cutting off a couple of blades or their tips) which will damage the plant, or you can try a strain with particular traits like ducksfoot, which has webbed leaves. These plants will still look like a budding plant though in flower, which is why it's more usual to just grow in a place where people can't see.

i think you are right skywalker it is just a myth.
