hello harmonicminor, , i have been watching this thread and have been fasinated by it, i done some experiments about 6 years ago, i tried to do just what you are disscussing, my atempt failed miserabley, however i wernt to be put off and tried the same on loads of different plants, i never tried it with a hop plant, but i did try it with various grapevine strains, i never managed to get the cannabis plant to flower or grow very much but i did keep it alive for the whole season. i might be a littel late as my grape vines are full of grape but i am gonna take some cuttings from my weed and graft them on a couple of my vines to show you how i did it,........ i hope you dont mind, hey i failed trying this, but i am so so convinced that it can be done with the correct plant i just thought you might like to see how far i get doing it, it might not work ,as like i say my grape vines are loaded...... just thought it worth a try again....

............. peace mate ......... happy ...................
