Phenotype

In cannabis genetics, “phenotype” is a term used to refer to the overall traits of a single cannabis plant. Cannabis plants (and also every living being on earth) have a genetic code called genotype. The genotype carries all of the developmental possibilities of a single cannabis plant. However, genes from the genotype can be expressed or not, depending on environmental factors that can trigger their manifestation. A plant’s genotype and the environmental conditions to which the plant has been exposed, make up the plant’s final characteristics, which are called phenotype.
