Update Growth Phase for Plants

  • Updated

As your Plants grow, you'll need to update the growth phase to track their progress and remain compliant. Follow the steps in this article to update Immature Plants to Vegetative Plants with individual tags, and from Vegetative to Flowering. Additionally, to customize stages throughout cultivation, outside of state compliance growth phases, Create Custom Growth Phases on Plants to track various benchmarks during the cultivation process.

In this article, we'll cover:

  1. Update Growth Phase from Immature to Vegetative
  2. Update Growth Phase from Vegetative to Flowering
  3. Revert Update Growth Phase Submissions

Update Growth Phase from Immature to Vegetative

Once Immature Plants in a Plant Batch reach a certain size and are more likely to survive, you'll need to update the growth phase to transition each surviving Immature Plant into a Vegetative Plant. A good time to update them is when they move out of trays and into permanent pots. During this process, each Plant will receive an individual Plant Tag to allow better tracking and independent updates.

  • After updating the growth phase from Immature to Vegetative, you'll need to attach the new individual Plant Tags to each Vegetative Plant.

On the Web Application:

  1. Navigate to Plants > Plant Batches > View: Active

  2. Check the boxes next to each Plant Batch to select them
    • This can be done in bulk by selecting multiple Plant Batches to update at once
  3. Select Actions > Update Growth Phase
  4. Starting Plant Tag will automatically pre-fill with the next available tag
  5. To apply the same updates to all selected Plant Batches at once, update the fields on the left side of the screen and then click Apply.
    • Custom Growth Phase (optional) - this an optional Canix-only field for more granularity
    • Amount to Update - leave this blank to update all Immature Plants in each Plant Batch
    • Growth Date - enter the date these Immature Plants became Vegetative
    • Location - enter the location of these newly Vegetative Plants
    • Lot ID - this is an optional Canix-only field used to track Plants through Harvest & Packagingmceclip1.png
  6. To apply different updates to each selected Plant Batch, click into the Plant Batch details on the right side to edit the same fields as listed abovemceclip2.jpg
  7. Review all Plant Batch details to confirm accuracy before submitting

On the Web Application:

  1. Navigate to Plants > Plant > View: Tracked Vegetative
  2. Check the boxes next to each Vegetative Plant to select them - use filters to narrow your search, such as by Plant Batch, Location, or Strain
