Cycle Plants

Cycle Plants#

Cycle Plants represent the individual plants, or groups of plants, being grown within a Cycle.

Each Cycle Plant can store information about its Genetic, flowering type, container, growth timeline, status, plant-specific Day notes, issues, traits, harvest results, and other observations.

Use the Plant Count field when one Cycle Plant record represents more than one physical plant.

How to Add a Plant#

Note

A Cycle Plant can represent one plant or a group of plants. Use Plant Count to enter the number of physical plants represented by the record.

Open the Cycle where the plant should be added.
Find the Cycle Plants section.
Select Add Plant.
Complete the Plant Fields.
Select Save to create the Cycle Plant.

To create another Cycle Plant immediately, select Save and Add Another.

How to Bulk Add Plants#

Bulk Add can be used when you need to create several Cycle Plants at once.

Note

Each plant created through Bulk Add has its Plant Count set to 1.

Open the Cycle where the plants should be added.
Find the Cycle Plants section.
Select Bulk Add Plants.
Complete the required fields for each plant.
Select Save to create the plants.

How to Edit or Delete a Plant#

Open the Cycle.
Find the plant under the Cycle Plants section.
Select the plant to open its page.
Select Edit near the top of the page.
Update the fields and select Update to save your changes.

To delete the Cycle Plant, select the trash icon and confirm the deletion.

Warning

Deleting a Cycle Plant may also remove its plant-specific Day records, issues, traits, harvest review, photos, and other related information.

Cycle Plant Page#

The Cycle Plant page brings together the main information and actions for a plant.

Plant Header#

The page header may display:

Plant name
Cycle name
Plant sex
Flowering type
Plant Count

Linked Projects action

Plant Summary#

The summary cards provide quick information about:

Current plant status
Timeline mode and current stage
Number of plant-specific Day notes
Number of recorded Plant Issues

Select a summary card to jump to its related section on the page.

Quick Actions#

The Quick Actions section provides shortcuts for common plant activities.

Available actions may include:

Add a Plant Issue
Edit plant-specific stage dates
Jump to Plant Traits
Generate a QR Code

The stage date action is shown when the plant is using a plant-specific timeline.

Plant Timeline#

The Plant Timeline shows the growth stages and dates associated with the plant.

Timeline Mode#

The Use Cycle Timeline setting controls where the plant receives its growth stage dates.

When Use Cycle Timeline is enabled, the plant follows the stage dates configured on its Cycle.

When it is disabled, you can enter separate stage dates for the individual plant.

Use a plant-specific timeline when a plant enters a stage earlier or later than the rest of the Cycle.

How to Change Timeline Mode#

Open the Cycle Plant page.
Find the Timeline section.
Enable or disable Use Cycle Timeline.

When the setting is disabled, use Dates or Edit Dates to configure the plant’s stage dates.

How to Set Plant-Specific Stage Dates#

Open the Cycle Plant page.
Disable Use Cycle Timeline.
Select Dates from Quick Actions or Edit Dates under the timeline.
Enter the applicable start dates.
Select Set beside each date you want to update.

The available stage dates depend on whether the plant is Photoperiod or Autoflower.

Plant Status#

A Cycle Plant can be Active, Harvested, or Terminated.

Harvest a Plant#

Open the Cycle Plant page.
Find the Status section.
Select the harvest date.
Select Harvest.

After harvesting, you can enter the plant’s Dry Time and Harvest Dry Weight.

Continue Growing#

Open the harvested Cycle Plant.
Find the Status section.
Select Continue Growing.

This returns the plant to an active status.

Terminate a Plant#

Use Terminate when a plant is no longer being grown but was not harvested.

Open the active Cycle Plant.
Find the Status section.
Select Terminate.

To return a terminated plant to an active status, select Revive.

Plant QR Code#

A QR Code can be generated for each Cycle Plant.

Scanning the QR Code opens the plant’s page, allowing you to quickly view its information and make updates.

How to Access Plant QR Codes#

Open the applicable Cycle Plant page.
Select the QR Code icon.
Select Basic or Custom.
Select PNG or SVG as the file type.
Select Download.

On supported mobile devices, you may also be able to select Share.

How to Customize a Plant QR Code#

Open the applicable Cycle Plant page.
Select the QR Code icon.
Select Custom.
Select Customize.
Adjust the available colors and design options.
Optionally, update the plant name displayed with the QR Code.
Select Test QR Code to confirm that the generated code is valid.
Select PNG or SVG as the file type.
Select Download.

On supported mobile devices, you may also be able to select Share.
