Mendelian Cannabis Breeding

⚗️ Science First mentioned: Ep. 258

Application of classical Mendelian genetics principles (dominant/recessive traits, chromosomal inheritance, meiosis) to systematic cannabis breeding, as opposed to the prevalent pheno stumbling approach of random crossing and selection.

Chimera (Ryan Lee) presented comprehensive breeding program at Grow Up Conference and expanded it on Hash Church. Key points: pheno hunting is really pheno stumbling when done without understanding inheritance. Real breeding requires understanding how traits move through progeny. Cannabis industry breeding is largely unsystematic despite being multi-billion dollar industry. THC-focused market excludes classic cultivars (Sour Diesel at 15-18 percent, Blueberry at low teens). Breeders corner planned as recurring Hash Church segment.
