I never knew that, I thought it was more "programed" into the genetic makeup of the plant in the seed. So I'm growing Bubblelicious; If I get a very bubble gum pheno and it happened to be from the growing environment, does that mean that no matter the environment, all the clones from that plant will be of that pheno as it has been "programmed" in from the impact of the environment on the original plant?
I'm sorry I may not be coming across clear, I did read up some time ago about how each grow will "program" into the plant certain traits and the plant will almost "learn" in each generation and grow better and better in a certain environment as you clone from the previous generation.
Crap I can't recall when or where I read it, it's fuzzy but that distant bell is being rung.
I really want to get more into breeding, genetics, etc. especially for work. It'd downright fascinating!!
