Cycle Plants

Cycle Plants, or just Plants, in the GroBase app are representations of specific plant specimens grown in a Cycle. Each plant entry allows you to document detailed information about individual plants, or a group of plants within a cycle, including plant issues, characteristics, and more.

Important

Plants must be associated with a Genetic Template.
