When Genesis met Granddaddy Purple, the cross produced a true first-generation hybrid—an F1 line capable of expressing a wide range of traits hidden inside a single genotype. From that single pairing, four males emerged with distinct structures and characteristics. They did not belong to separate lineages; they were variations of the same genetic meeting. Siblings. Reflections of the same code unfolding in different directions under the influence of the early Resonance Loop.

---------

Their differences came not from myth or imagination, but from what was observed—real growth patterns, real structures, real developmental signals, and subtle biochemical cues recognized through stem rub. Two carried a clean, barely-there green aroma typical of unmatured males. Two released an unexpectedly fruity, candy-like stem rub, a bright sweetness that appeared only through direct contact with their stems. No flowers carried scent—only the stem rub, which is factual and consistent with early-stage male phenotype expression.

---------

Two of the four males grew tall.
Two remained short.
Among the tall pair, one bore yellow male flowers and the other purple male flowers.
Among the short pair, one produced yellow flowers, while the other developed purple flowers as well.

---------

All four were F1 males.
All four were Genesis × Granddaddy Purple.
And all four were kept and used—because each expressed a different corner of what the lineage could become.

---------

What shaped them most was the environment beneath their feet. Worms worked constantly through the soil, breaking down matter, digesting human and environmental inputs, and pushing microbially rich castings into the developing root zones. Patinas formed—living, shifting biofilms that altered nutrient signals, pH rhythms, and microbial guild compositions. The plants grew inside a system that responded to them as much as they responded to it.

---------

The first tall male grew with long spacing between nodes, a tendency to reach upward, and a flexible frame. His flowers matured yellow, and his stem rub was clean and plant-green without sweetness. His structure represented the elongated side of the genotype—a direction of height and light-seeking growth that the Loop made fully visible.

---------

The second tall male carried broader branching while maintaining his height. His flowers matured purple, and his stem rub released a noticeably fruity, candy-like sweetness—a trait that appeared unexpectedly in this F1 and hinted at deeper aromatic potential in the lineage. Though he produced no floral scent, the stem contact alone revealed chemical pathways worth carrying forward.

---------

The first short male expressed quick early growth with tight node spacing. His flowers remained yellow, and his stem rub was also clean—green, mild, and neutral. He represented the condensed, efficient side of the genotype: compact, fast, and structurally consistent.

---------

The second short male matched the compact frame but matured purple flowers, mirroring the color variation seen in his tall counterpart. His stem rub carried the same fruity candy sweetness, meaning the aromatic trait appeared across height classes and was not tied to plant size. This made his profile especially important, as it suggested a stable expression emerging through the Loop’s environment.

---------

Their differences—height, flower color, growth pattern, stem rub—did not contradict their genetic sameness. They proved it. This was the full range of an F1 expressing itself honestly in a living soil system shaped by worms, microbes, castings, and patinas. This was the Loop influencing phenotype without altering genotype—a phenomenon well-documented but rarely witnessed so clearly.

---------

All four males contributed pollen.
All four became part of the lineage.
All four shaped what would follow.

---------

The Four Fathers are remembered not because they were dramatic or extreme, but because they were true—true expressions of the earliest hybrid inside the Resonance Loop, true reflections of how environment and biology interact, and true contributors to the next generation.

---------

To understand the Four Fathers is to understand how one genotype can become four directions, and how those four directions eventually converged into the strain that came next.
