Use mother batches to treat a group of mother plants as a collective unit.
This is useful when you don't need to track activities per individual plant, or when activities happen on groups of plants at the same time, such as spraying pesticides on a group of plants.
Note: Mother batches are not the same as just batches. Those are for clones or any plant material that are going through processing or cultivation in some way.
In this article:
Adding Mothers to a Mother Batch
Go to Cultivation & Processing > Mothers. 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 one of the existing mother plant batches. See Managing Mother Batches below.
Note: Once a mother plant is added to a mother batch, it can't be undone.
Creating a New Mother Batch
Go to Cultivation & Processing > Mothers, then click View Batches at the top-right corner of the page. A list of mother plant batches is displayed.
Click Create Mother Batch at the top of the page. A modal is displayed.
Specify the details of the new mother batch:
Variety: The variety (including the strain) of the product. The list is populated with varieties added to your site.
Name: The name of the mother batch as it will appear throughout the site.
Room: Specify which room the batch of mothers is located.
Add mother plants to new mother batch: You can optionally scan/type in the IDs of existing mother plants to add them to this batch upon creation.
Added by/Approved by: Select the user account and enter the password for the staff members involved. This will appear on record on the mother batch when it is created.
Managing Mother Batches
Working with mother batches is similar to working with individual mother plants.
To go to the mother batch:
Go to Cultivation & Processing > Mothers, then click View Batches at the top-right corner of the page. Click the ID of the mother batch.
To view the mother plants in the mother batch:
They're displayed on the mother batch's page under the Plants tab.
To perform activities (actions) on the mother batch:
The activities you can perform on the mother batch are nearly the same as the ones available for an individual mother plant.
The only activity unavailable is Add Test Sample, because it's performed on a single plant. Go to the individual plant's properties page to create a test sample from it.
The activities aren't logged for the individual mother plants in this mother batch; instead, they're logged for the mother batch itself.
