// Definition
The concept that every cannabis cultivar has a defined range of possible expressions (phenotypic boundaries) set by its genetics, and the actual expression within those boundaries is determined by environmental conditions, cultivation practices, and harvest timing. A cultivar like Grape Ape will express within certain limits, but different growers in different environments will get different expressions within that range.
// From the Episode
Dr. Mark uses Grape Ape as an example - it must express within certain boundaries, but different environments cause it to express different components. The breeder defines the potential; the grower determines which expression emerges. This is why the same cultivar can produce different terpene and cannabinoid profiles in different hands.
