Once you have mother plants, you can track all actions performed on them and what batches they're part of, if any.
Mothers are always in the vegetative growth phase and are tracked individually. Add a mother plant to a new or existing batch if/when it will be moving on (see Propagate Clones below). You can also treat multiple mother plants as a collective unit by grouping them into a mother batch.

Getting Mother Plants
You can get mother plants by:
Clicking Propagate Clones on an existing mother plant to create new ones from it
Managing Mother Plants
Go to Cultivation & Processing > Mothers. The page displays a list of mother plants.
To work with an individual mother plant:
Click the ID of a mother plant in the list to open a page where you can view and manage it.
To group mother plants into a mother plant batch:
Select the checkboxes for each plant you want to group into a batch, then click Add to Batch on the top-right of the page. The plants are removed from the list and added to an existing or new mother batch. See mother batches for more information.
Note: A mother batch is for treating a group of mother plants as a collective unit. To create batches of clones, see Propagate Clones below.
To take clones and put them into a cultivation batch:
When you're ready to take cuttings from a mother plant and track the growth of the clones, you'll add them to a batch. To do this, use the Propagate Clones action, which is described below.
Actions for Mother Plants
These are the buttons you can use to work with your mother plants or mother plant batches.
Note about mother batches: If you're looking at an individual mother plant that has been grouped into a mother plant batch (see above), some of the activities listed below will not be displayed for this individual mother. You'll need to go to the mother plant batch that it's part of. Look under the plant's Activity Log tab and click Transfer Mother Plants To Mother Batch, then copy the number under To Inventory ID. Then, on the Mothers page (Cultivation & Processing > Mothers), click View Batches at the top, then search for that ID and click it.
Select the room the plant was moved to.
When queuing the plant for destruction, a modal appears where you specify the destruction details such as the waste type. Once destroyed, the plant's status changes to "archived" and won't be listed with the active plants unless you select the Include Archived checkbox on that page.
Use this to create a sample for QA testing. You'll specify the details of the sample, and then the sample will appear on the Samples page (QA > Samples).
From there, you can select the sample and send it to the lab for testing. Then the option to record results becomes available.
Once results are recorded on the QA side, it will appear on this mother plant under the Lab Results tab.
Use this to take cuttings from the plant and add them to a new batch or an existing batch of clones of this plant. Doing this will make it appear on the Batches page.
Note: If you want to create a mother batch (a group of mothers treated as a collective unit), see Working With Mother Batches instead)
To do this:
Specify the number of cuttings to be taken from this plant.
Select the batch details:
If you select Add to an existing batch: Select the batch. The list is populated with batches containing propagated clones from this plant (if any were created previously).
If you select Create new batch: Specify the batch's name, end type, room, and start date. A new batch will be added to the Batches page.
The stages that the batch will eventually go through depends on the end type. For example, if the end type is any sort of extract, the batch will go through 2 stages: Planning and then QA.
Select the users who prepared, reviewed, and approved the transfer.
Click Confirm. You may need to scroll down to reveal the button.
Use this to create new individual mothers from this one.
Use this to log whether there is a nutrient deficiency at this time. For example, if you keep track of a plant's nutrients every day, you can log "no deficiency" each day until there is one, so that you can pinpoint exactly when the nutrient deficiency started.
Use this to report the details when insects are discovered on a plant and put into a container. The list of insects is populated with supplies whose "type" is "Insects".
Use this to log any fertigation activity. The details logged for this activity are:
Use this to record some action taken on the inventory that you want to note. You can optionally attach a document to the entry.
You can view this entry in the Activity Log at the bottom of the page.
Use this to report the details when pesticide is sprayed on the plants. The list of pesticides is populated with supplies whose "type" is "Pesticides".
When printing labels, you specify the label template (which determines what the label looks like and what information appears on it) and the printer.
Use this to set a custom name for the mother plant. The new name will then appear at the top of the page and in the Mothers listing page.
