Create new Plant Batches from Packages of Seeds, Clones or Immature Plants by using Unpack into Plantings. The process is the same for Metrc and Non-Metrc facilities, but some language or steps may vary depending on your account type and state/country.

In this article, we'll cover:

  1. Unpack Plantings from Packages
  2. View Plant Batches
  3. Edit or Delete Plant Batches
  4. Track Submissions

For other methods of creating Plant Batches, see:

Unpack Plantings from Packages

On the Web Application:

  1. Navigate to Inventory > Packages > Active
  2. Filter the Units column for Each, as you can only create plantings on the web from a Package with a count-based quantity of Clones or Seeds
    • We also recommend filtering by Item Type of Seeds, Clones, Immature Plants, etc. in the event that you have other Items that are measured in Each
  3. Check the box next to Package(s) you wish to use
  4. Select Actions > Unpack into Plantings

  5. Complete the required fields under the New Plant Batch Details:
    • Plant Batch Name: The name assigned to the new Plant Batch
      • For Metrc facilities: Depending on the state, this may require a Plant Tag for the Plant Batch name, which will automatically pre-fill
      • For Non-Metrc facilities: Depending on the state, this may require a Plant Batch tag, which will automatically pre-fill, or allow you to use an alphanumeric name
        • If creating multiple alphanumeric Plant Batches at once, you can enter one name you want used for all of the Plant Batches, then at the end of the name add a space "-" and Canix will automatically number the newly created Plant Batches sequentially.
        • Looking to make the suffix alphabetical? Navigate to Admin > My Settings to update. 
    • Location: Location of the new Plant Batches
    • Batch Type: Clone or Seed
    • Max Plantings Per Batch: Used to create multiple Plant Batches of the same amount at once
      • For example, enter Max Plantings Per Batch: 20 to unpack a Package of 100 clones into 5 Plant Batches of 20 Plants each. 
    • Date: When these Plant Batches were created
  6. If the Packages of Clones or Seeds do not already have a Strain associated with them, select No Matching Strain under each Source Package and select a Strain to assign
