describe a phenotype

[MateLaWeed]

Hello growers!
I would like to ask a question that I have been asking myself for quite some time, how do you describe a phenotype?
Is there a universal method?

How do you achieve such a level of precision?
What does the number behind the # actually mean?

Anyway, can you explain to me how you describe a phenotype? Can you also be as precise as possible?

thank you

Do you mean the concept of a phenotype or individual examples?

I think I want a bit of both to get as much information as possible.

Well a plant's phenotype is its observable characteristics - which are influenced by its genotype (the genes inherited from its parents) and its environment.

Two clones from the same plant will have the same genotype but if they are grown in different conditions they might develop different phenotypes.

Phenotypes can describe individual various characteristics like height, structure, resin production, yield etc.
