Pheno Stumbling vs Pheno Hunting

๐ŸŒฟ Cultivation First mentioned: Ep. 258

Ryan Lee's term distinguishing random screening of offspring (pheno stumbling) from intentional, science-based plant selection. Most cannabis breeders simply cross two popular strains, grow the seeds, and hope to find something good. True breeding requires defined goals, measurable traits, meticulous records, and multiple generations of selection.

The standard 'Sherblato approach' of crossing Sherbet x Gelato and naming the result is a single breeding step, not a breeding program. Lee argues that if you don't measure it, you can't manage it.
