Stage Days#
Stage Days are dated records used to document what happened during each growth stage of a Cycle.
GroBase includes four types of Stage Days:
Seedling
Vegetative
Flowering
Autoflower
Photoperiod grows normally use Seedling, Vegetative, and Flowering Days. Autoflower grows can use Autoflower Days or another stage structure that better matches how you prefer to organize the Cycle.
A Day can contain environmental readings, watering information, training actions, Resources, notes, photos, and records for individual Cycle Plants and Cycle Lights.
Most Day fields are optional. You can create a Day containing only the information that is relevant, such as a note, watering record, photo, Plant Note, or Light Note.
