Grafting cannabis onto hops?

It may sound wild, but this experimental technique is catching the attention of advanced growers and cannabis lovers alike. If you're into plant science or just want to try something totally different, here's a deep dive into grafting cannabis onto hops.

Are Cannabis and Hops Related?

Surprisingly, yes. Both Cannabis sativa and Humulus lupulus (hops) come from the Cannabaceae family. That shared family tree means they have some biological compatibility — enough that grafting is sometimes possible.

Can You Actually Graft Cannabis Onto Hops?

In theory — and in some cases, practice — yes. You take a cannabis cutting (the scion) and graft it onto a mature hops plant (the rootstock). Using proper grafting techniques, they can physically bond.

However, this won’t create some magical hybrid plant. The cannabis still grows like cannabis, and hops stay hops. No “weed beer” plants here — but the graft may still be viable.

Why Try This?

Novelty & Science: Perfect for experimental growers or plant nerds.

Potential Perks: Some think hops roots might offer added resistance or growth traits (not confirmed).

Bragging Rights: It’s a unique horticultural flex.

How to Graft Cannabis Onto Hops:

1. Use healthy, similar-aged plants.

2. Cut stems diagonally at the same angle.

3. Join the two cuts tightly and wrap with grafting tape.

4. Keep in a warm, humid spot to encourage bonding.

5. Watch for new growth to confirm the graft took.
