Once your Flowering Plants are ready to be harvested, follow these steps to create a Harvest on the Canix Web Application. The process is the same for Metrc and non-Metrc facilities, but some steps or language may vary slightly. A few things to note before getting started:
- Only Flowering Plants can be Harvested
- All Plants in a single Harvest must be of the same Strain
- You can choose to harvest Plants of the same Strain from a single Plant Batch or from multiple Plant Batches
- You will be required to enter in individual wet weights for each Flowering Plant in the Harvest, or assign an average wet weight to all Plants in the Harvest
- Users can edit/update a Harvest name as long as no packages have been created from the harvest.
Note: Most regulations state that using average Plant weights (instead of individual Plant weights) is a non-compliant way of harvesting. We allow this option for customers who wish to use it, but we encourage you to speak to your local inspector or regulator about average vs. individual weights.
In this article we'll cover:
Creating a Harvest
On the Web Application:
- Navigate to Plants > Plants > View: Flowering (Tracked)
- Use the filters to narrow down your search of which Flowering Plants will be harvested
- We suggest using both Strain and Plant Batch filters
- Once filtered, check the boxes next to each Flowering Plant to be included in this Harvest
- To select multiple consecutive Plant Tags, make your first selection then hold shift when selecting the last one
- Note: All Plants in a single Harvest must be of the same Strain
- To select multiple consecutive Plant Tags, make your first selection then hold shift when selecting the last one
- Select Actions > Harvest # Plants
- Complete all required fields:
- Harvest Name: We suggest Strain Name - Harvest Date (such as Blue Dream - 5/23/2022) but your facility can choose any naming structure
- Strain Name: This is pre-populated based on selected Flowering Plants
- Drying Location: Type to search and select a location
- Harvest Date: The date these Plants were Harvested, usually today's date
- Lot ID (optional): Can be used to track Plants all the way from seed to sale
- Weight Unit: The weight unit used on this Harvest (grams, pounds, kilograms, etc)
- Notes (optional): Any notes you wish to log
- Individual Plant Weight or Total Harvest Weight: These are optional and less common; if you will be applying an average weight to all Plants (rather than logging Individual Plant Weights) you can use these fields to do so; after entering one, select Apply All
- This may not be compliant with your local regulations, so please check with the author
- Average Weights Randomized: To randomize the individual plant weights, enter the average plant weight in the individual plant weight field. Then select the gray or white space on the page so no fields are selected, then select the letter d on your keyboard 5 times. Enter the max amount the individual plant weight should vary from the individual plant weight in the Plant Weight Deviation field. Select Apply All to assign the randomized weights.
In the example below, plants will receive a random weight between 1380g and 1590g (1485g individual weight + 105g deviation, and 1485g individual weight - 105g deviation)
WARNING: The total harvested weight may differ when using this option. Edit the individual plant weights to get to the desired total harvest weight if too different from the original weight.
Plant Weight Deviation Field
Harvested Plant Weights Section
- On the right side of the screen, enter an Individual Plant Weight for each wet Plant as you weigh them
- Note: Plant weights can be adjusted by typing over the initial inputs, but can not be deleted completely
- If you have any additional Flowering Plants of the same Strain to add at this time, click Add Plant at the bottom
- Very carefully review all details on this screen to ensure that everything is accurate
- Confirm all the correct Plants are included
- Confirm all Individual Plant Weights are correct
- Confirm the Total Weight in the bottom right appears correct for all combined Plants in this Harvest
- Confirm the Harvest Name and Harvest Date are correct
- You will not be able to change or edit these details once submitted
Note: Harvest name can be edited once submitted, however this cannot be changed after packages have been created. See below for more details on Changing Harvest Name - If everything is correct, select Submit Harvest
Change Harvest Name
Canix allows users the ability to rename a Harvest at anytime as long as no packages have been created from the harvest. This can be helpful for users who entered a mistake or entered the wrong date when harvesting to easily update the Harvest Name.
On the Web Application:
- Navigate to Harvests > Overview > Active
- Select a harvest you would like to change the name of.
Note: You can only change the Harvest Name if no packages have been created from this harvest. - Select Actions > Change Harvest Name
- Rename Harvest modal will appear, enter the new name of the Harvest in the New Harvest Name field.
Note: Canix pre-fills the New Harvest Name with the existing Harvest name, in the event that the user only needs to make small edits. such as a typo or edit the date. If you are changing the Harvest Name entirely, clear the contents of this field and enter the New Harvest Name. - Confirm the New Harvest Name is correct and select Submit.
- A confirmation window will appear confirming that you want to change the Harvest Name, "Are you sure you want to rename it?" Select Submit
🚨 For Metrc Users - Note on Correcting Harvests:
If you submit a Harvest from Canix to Metrc in error, as long as you have not created any waste or packages from it, you may "Discontinue" the harvest in your Metrc account during the grace period immediately after the Harvest is submitted (typically 48-72 hours after the original submission was made).
If you have missed the grace period and cannot Discontinue the Harvest from the Metrc UI, please contact Metrc support and ask for help making the correction on their end.
One the Harvest is corrected in Metrc, you may return to Canix and select Refresh Metrc Data to remove the incorrect Harvest from Canix to redo or update the Harvest's information to reflect changes made in Metrc.
💡 Note on Failed Harvest Submissions in Canix: You have the ability to review and edit harvest submissions without having to re-do your work. This can be done by viewing Unsubmitted Harvests.
