Recessive is not rare. It is hidden.

A trait can sit in a pack for a generation and only show when two copies meet.

A recessive allele does nothing obvious until the plant has two of them. One copy: the dominant story wins. Two copies: the quiet story prints. Colour, a dessert nose, a herm under stress — some of those are recessive, some are polygenic. We do not pretend a forum post is a genotype.

Backcrossing raises the chance two copies meet. That is how you lock liquorice on Durban Poison Bx2. It is also how you lock a fault if you scored the wrong plant. The notebook is the filter, not the pedigree.

On a regular pack

Males carry the same alleles. Cull them from a room if you ever ran one; keep a father in a library. We sell the pack as souvenir genetics. We do not publish a sexing SOP. Cultivation without a licence is illegal in the UK.

Seeds are sold as souvenirs and for genetic preservation. 18+. Cultivation of cannabis is illegal in the UK without a Home Office licence. These notes are not a grow guide.
