grafting for hydroponic gardening
Being a new guy at the hydroponic game, I've been reading all I can find in re.
hydro. gardening. I read some articles on grafting tomatoes for hydro. gardening and find that 95% of commercial tomatoes grown in Japan are from grafted plants. Anyone here had any experience with this topic? I'm thinking Heirloom tomatoes grafted onto a hardy, prolific, disease-resistant rootstock like maybe Celebrity. I welcome your comments. |

Well I did it by accident, I put 2 cuttings from 2 different plants in a rapid rooter and one was a determinate and the other was a indeterminate,the plant is about 3 feet tall now and I am curious to see what I will get out of this. BTW the two cuttings did grow together as one. I am aware that this is not a true graft but they did grow together.

Thanks for the comments and info. leads. I'm going to graft using Celebrety and Maxifort, a rootstock very successful in Japan. For scions I'll probably
use Caspian Pink and one of the common homegrown varities that is cheap. Maxifort is bred and used for rootstock only and is expensive. Around .40 per seed! Maybe I'll stick with Celebrity for now.I'll post notes on my progress. See ya! |
