I was getting super baked, listening to Joe Rogan's podcast last night and the topic of epigentics got up. It's a concept that I've focused on for my own personal wellness and athletic performance for a few years now. Basically any input can alter your genetic proclivities towards certain traits and of most importance in the grand scheme of things, your offspring. That's why you see all these kids with "problems" and allergies nowadays... older, out of shape people fucking after 35-40 years of sedentary, shit diet fueled existence.
Could a couple of Rusty's cuts be abused by previous holders at one time or another? Surely. Could the cuts taken from that stressed plant or possibly a reveg have a different epigenetic response to certain stressors in the future? Absolutely. Could those same cuts also have a negative trait passed on to the offspring? Why not, right?
Let's take that one step further. Would placing a cut under the stress of reversal also alter the genetic makeup of offspring? Yes. Could being grown in a different environment than the previous generation bring up some deleterious traits as it tries to adapt? Definitely.
So, you can stress test your females all you want. Proof is in the pudding, the only thing that matters is the offspring.
You could blame grower error for herms. You can also say it's in the genetics so the onus is on the seed maker. It's on the grower to be prepared for the genetics and the seed maker to do their best with the genetics. I'm placing blame on no one here, as I feel it's "in the genetics".
