Question about genetics.

    I have noticed that sometimes that the sum of the genetics doesn't always equal the whole in terms of if the strain is an indica, hybrid or sativa. A couple of examples are girl scout cookies. The parents are supposedly Durban Poison which is a sativa and OG kush which is a hybrid that can lean either way in terms of indica or slightly sativa dominant. GCS itself is a hybrid but a slightly indica leaning. It seems it would be more of a sativa dominant if anything. Another is Jack Herer. Its genetics is two indicas and one sativa, yet JH is a sativa or sativa dominant hybrid depending on what you read, but on paper it would appear to be an indica or indica dominant hybrid. This is something I noticed. It is interesting how they are classified.

    You have to understand Genetics to understand why this is. Dominant traits trump recessive. Your hybrids will have phenos of both, as well as a majority pheno that is the best combination of parental genes. OG Kush is a predominately Indica strain, that may show recessive sativa phenos. Same with GSC. Jack Herer is predominately Sativa, with recessive indica traits. Make sense?

    Makes sense. It has been years since I have studied dominant vs recessive. I had to go back do a quck review on that and genotype and phenotype.

    It’s intruguing stuff man. I’m going to breed in a few months. Setting up a mother/father room to keep the winners. Have to pop a lot of seeds though
