Tisk, tisk, tisk.I already agreed with you about the phenotype being the same but resin content, weight, terpene content will all be different. They will all hold the same ingredients but to what degree will they have them. I understand with everyone having the attention span lower than a goldfish it is hard to read through everything someone said though.
I thought I explained this in the clone only thread, and I know you were there Arthur.
The problem is the basic misconception of what a phenotype is.
Everyone uses the wrong terminology.
Phenotype is genetics + environment.
For example, a strain that required cold nights for purple color.
Can anyone argue that the purple "pheno" and the green "pheno" are the same pheno?
Obviously not. But they are the same exact genotype, different environmental triggers brought out differences.
What people mean to say is genotype, because every single plant is a genotype. There are no twins. Yes, through proper breeding the genotypes are lessened and the goal is to end up with just 1 or 2 possible genotypes .But you are actually not pheno hunting, its geno hunting.
I actually posted a question about this in chem 91 thread on ic too, but no answers.
