Sorry, I wrote that at 4am and, lo and behold, its the same time now.
Let's back track a bit.
I spliced species-dominant grapes with species-recessive cannabis. After the first harvest, I planted the seeds in two different pots, giving me pots A and B.
Pot B was only harvested once, leaving a pile of purple grapes. Pot A acquired the green grapes mutation, and was regularly re-planted.
After three more generations from Pot A, it picked up the drought resistant gene. All the other harvests from previous generations of Pot A displayed that trait as well. The purple grapes from Pot B were unaffected. Pot A then manifested the seedless trait, which again, was applied to all the previous harvests from Pot A.
However, the maturation rate, potency and other such values didn't change between the generations of grapes from Pot A.
In summary, special genes such as "seedless" or "stunted yield" appear to be retroactively applied to harvests from before the gene appeared.
