I believe he is equating dominant traits into observable traits which isn't a lie. The dominant traits are more likely to pop up which makes the trait more observable.Huh? This isnt making any sense. Dominant cannabis genes are strong and carry over into the offspring and overpower weaker recessive genes. Yes recessive genes can skip a generation a show up. But with cannabis it may pop up in an f2 but by that time the core genetic is changed enough that the recessive pine or skunk will still get overpowered by the dominant diesel or whatever the cross was to. Either way my whole point is that unfortunately a lot of cannabis strains were lost forever into oblivion by cross breading.
GMO being a good modern example. Haven't seen anyone pull that pheno again. It has to be recessive. Right?
