When breeding cannabis. One must not only identify phenotypes but they also need to know if the genes responsible for what they see or smell are:
Homozygous Dominant - BB = Big Bud
Heterozygous - Bb = Big Bud
Homozygous Recessive - bb = Small Bud.
The Big/Small buds are phenotypes. The BB, Bb and bb denote the genotypes. Because "B" is the dominant allele, A plant with a"Bb" genotype will produce Big Buds not small buds.
Most phenotypes are visual characteristics but some like taste, are phenotypes that cant be observed by simply looking at the plant.
