I'm eating crow on this... and more importantly, noticing some kind of change in the (G)Grapes phenotype or at least the Starting Grapes Characteristic (flax has some similar variations in starting values). This rings a bell with T3 testing but I don't recall if any conclusions were made.

Appreciation (QQQ) x Base Appreciation (QQQ) KGYRYYRYYRYYRK x KGYRYYRYYRYYRK

RYYR = Q OOOR = G

If there's no shortening or elongation, all of these vines should be uniform. A weighted average should take 6 genes for each splint and effectively return a vine identical to the starting vine.

These variations indicate that there is now genetic diversity and the resulting variations produces 4 different starting values (including the original). IIRC, each of the other vines possess unique starting grape values so this detail MUST be contained in the genome length, the gene combination, or some other self-contained mechanism.

For reference:

(I) has been introduced as the nomenclature for Initial Grape Count trait (NOTE: Legacy T3 that was lost or not adopted)
