For OK Facilities

As of October 7th 2024, all Plant Batches in Oklahoma must be associated to a package tag. Follow this process to first Package your cuttings, and then turn them into an Immature Plant Batch.

1. Navigate to the Plants table in Canix, and choose your mother plant from either the Vegetative (Tracked), Flowering (Tracked) or Mother Plants (Tracked) views.

2. Select "Create Unrooted Plants Package". This action will create Packages with the # of Immature Plants specified:

3. Once your Packages are created navigate to the Packages table and use the "Unpack into Plantings" action and specify the Plant Batch Name, Planted Date, Location, and Number of Plantings to take from the Package:

4. If you've fully depleted the selected packages, don't forget to use the "Finish Packages" action to remove these empty tags from your inventory.

View Plant Batches
