Most of what you want is polygenic
Flowering time, mould, yield, the whole nose — not one gene, not one bar on the chart.
Polygenic means many genes, small effects, plus the room. UK finish dates, mould scores, height, the way Orange Gas reads citrus-on-fuel — those are not single switches. That is why a Bx tightens a cloud instead of flipping a coin, and why your pheno will not reprint our terpene pie as law.
Reaction norm: same genetics, soil versus coco, indoor versus poly. We run both so the page is not a Dutch-room fantasy. Merseyside autumn is a selection pressure, not a vibe.

Mould 1–5 is a field score, not a gene name. Flowering weeks are a range. Terpene bars are relative share in the keeper we ran. Use them together. Do not buy a dessert for a Wirral fence because linalool sounded pretty.
