How to Create and Use a Virtual Room

Note*: Originally, Ample Organics conceived Virtual Rooms as a workaround to accommodate limited destruction options. Since then, Ample Organics has added the Destruction module and several new destruction methods to facilitate the Destruction Process. In the current version of the Seed-to-Sale software, a Virtual Room is only useful in cases where a licence holder labels plants individually and needs to destroy several specific plants. If the licence holder does not label plants individually, Destroying Plants at the Batch Level is a much faster process.* Occasionally, a Grow Technician may need to destroy a large number of specific plants from a single batch. This can be an extremely time-consuming process, as the technician must log the weight and reason for destruction for each individual plant to be destroyed. To expedite this process, the technician can create a Virtual Room. A Virtual Room is a virtual location to which a Grow Technician can move all plants slated for destruction. This allows the technician to *mark* plants for destruction and destroy the plants at a later time. When that time comes, the plants can be destroyed in a single action. Virtual Rooms are also useful for other functions, like selecting plants to mark as Mothers or separating a batch into two parts to facilitate a batch split. Required permission(s): location_create, plant_update 1. Follow the procedure to Create a New Grow Room, and name the room "Virtual Destruction Room" or "Virtual Room". mceclip0.png 2. Using the Gun App, Move Plants into the Virtual Room using the Quick Move feature. mceclip1.png 3. Follow the procedure to Destroy Plants using the Gun App. - When selecting a subset of plants, select the Virtual Room as the location. If a plant is destroyed in error, visit the Grow module to Restore the Plant.

Setting Up Rooms & Locations

Before getting started with Grow module tasks, Grow Technicians must set up basic grow rooms to organize plants through the stages of cultivation. Each grow room saved to the Rooms & Locations tab should correspond to an actual room or location at the cannabis cultivator's grow facility. [img rooms-and-locations] Each grow room may have any number of child locations. A child location is a sub-location within a location, such as a row, table, or shelf. When setting up child locations, use a simple naming convention, and avoid using the same names or numbers across locations. Based on experience with cannabis cultivators of all sizes, Ample Organics has prepared some general guidelines of rooms to include, and possible naming conventions for child locations: - 1 Mother Room: A location to house Mother plants. - A child location in the Mother Room might be called M-Table1, M-Row1, etc. - 1 Germination Room: A location to germinate seeds. - A child location in the Germination Room might be called G-Table1, G-Row1, etc. - 1-2 Propagation Rooms: A location to house plants in the Propagation stage. - A child location in a Propagation Room might be called P-Table1, P-Row1, etc. If the facility has more than one Propagation Room, avoid using the same table or row numbers in multiple rooms. - 2-3 Vegetation Rooms: A location to house plants in the Vegetation stage. - A child location in the Vegetation Room might be called V-Table1, V-Row1, etc. If the facility has more than one Vegetation Room, avoid using the same table or row numbers in multiple rooms. - 2-3 Flowering Rooms: A location to house plants in the Flowering stage. - A child location in the Flowering Room might be called F-Table1, F-Row1, etc. If the facility has more than one Flowering Room, avoid using the same table or row numbers in multiple rooms. - 1 Research & Development Room: A room for research and product development. - A child location in the R&D Room might be called RD-Table1, RD-Row1, etc. Visit the Rooms & Locations tab to Create a New Location or Child Location.

Location Profile

The Location Profile displays detailed information and actions for a specific location. The Location Profile splits into two tabs: Overview and Destruction. When a Grow Technician opens a Location Profile, the Overview tab opens by default. Overview Tab mceclip0.png The Overview tab summarizes the contents of the location, including the total plant count and the number of plants in each stage of cultivation. The Batches section lists the batches or batch subsets–also known as Grows–housed in the location. Select a Grow to visit the Grow's Profile. The Child Locations section lists all Child Locations associated with the location. Select a Child Location to visit the Child's Location Profile. Some licence holders purchase live plants from other producers to introduce new cannabis strains and genetic information to their facility. After acquiring a batch purchased wholesale, a Grow Technician can save the batch directly to a Location Profile. To Create a New Wholesale Batch in the location, click New (Wholesale) in the Batches section. To Create a New Child Location, click New in the Child Locations section. Destruction Tab mceclip1.png The Destruction tab tracks all Grow Room waste destructions associated with the location. Over the course of cannabis production, plants may shed leaves or require trimming, and this small amount of waste from all plants within a single location is known as Grow Room waste. Click New to Destroy Grow Room Waste. If an error occurs, click the icon to Revert the Grow Room Waste Destruction. Grow Technicians can also Destroy Grow Room Waste using the Gun App. Destroying material on the Destruction tab does not affect plant ID numbers. To destroy plants from the batch, visit the Grow Room module on the Gun App to Destroy a Batch Subset, or visit the Plant Profile to Destroy Plants Individually. Location Menu mceclip2.png From either tab, access a menu of options for the location by clicking the mceclip3.png icon. These options include: - Move Location: Move the Location to a New Parent, or upgrade a Child Location to a top-level location. - Edit Name:Change the location's name. - Print Label: Print a Barcode Label for the Location. - Print Labels for Children: Print Labels for All Child Locations. Visit the Gun App to Move Plants or Batch Subsets between locations.

Harvest Profile

The Harvest Profile displays detailed information and actions for a specific harvest. The Harvest Profile splits into four tabs: Overview, Plants Harvested, Weight Events, and Destruction. When a Grow Technician opens a Harvest Profile, the Overview tab opens by default. Overview Tab mceclip0.png The Overview tab summarizes essential details of the harvest, including the destination Bulk Lot, the date the harvest was opened, and the user who opened the harvest. If the harvest is Closed, the Overview tab will list the date the harvest was closed, and the user who closed the harvest. The Plants Harvested status bar compares the number of harvested plants against the total number of plants in the batch. The status bar fills with green as plants are harvested. The Weight Breakdown status bar displays and organizes the total plant weight harvested in the harvest event. The harvested fresh weight, which is the usable fresh bulk cannabis transferred to the destination Bulk Lot, appears in green. Destroyed material, the unusable plant waste, appears in gold. Unaccounted weight appears in white. Ideally, the harvest should have no unaccounted weight. As Grow Technicians harvest plants, they may document the aggregate weight of all harvested material rather than the weight for each individual plant. The Average Yield section displays the calculated average pre-trimming weight, fresh Bulk Lot output, and destroyed weight per plant based on the total reported figures. mceclip1.pngmceclip3.png A harvest will have one of two statuses: Open or Closed. If the harvest is Open, it means the harvest event is still in progress and the total harvested weight can still be edited. If the harvest is Closed, it means the harvest has been finalized, with no further edits permitted to weight or plants harvested. If the harvest is Open, click Close to Close the Harvest. If the harvest is Closed, the Close button is replaced by a Reopen button. Click Reopen to reopen the harvest. Click Report to generate a harvest report in PDF format. The harvest report includes the number of plants harvested, the destination Bulk Lot, and the current total weight of all harvested or destroyed plants. Plants Harvested Tab mceclip4.png The Plants Harvested tab tracks all harvested plants in the batch. The index displays high-level information on each harvested plant, including: - ID: The plant's unique ID number. - Parent: The plant's parent. If the plant was created through cuttings, the parent link will lead to the Mother Plant's Profile. If the plant was created from seeds, the parent link will lead to the Seed Lot's Profile. If the plant was purchased wholesale, the parent column will be blank. - Location: The plant's pre-harvest location. - Plant Weight: The weight harvested from the plant, in grams. - Date Harvested: The date on which the plant was harvested. Weight Events Tab mceclip5.png The Weight Events tab tracks all events that affect the total weight of the harvest. Weight events are associated with the destination Bulk Lot, which allows for accurate record keeping. The Weight Events tab displays high-level information on each weight event, including: - Running Total: The harvest weight's running total. - Weight: The weight added or subtracted. - Description: A brief description of the weight event. - Inventory Weight: Indicates whether or not the weight event affects inventory weight. - Date: The date on which the weight event took place. - Created By: The user who performed the weight event. As part of a harvest, Grow Technicians output fresh cannabis weight to a Bulk Lot for processing. If the output is recorded incorrectly, Return the Bulk Lot Output Weight to the harvest from the menu. mceclip0.png Destruction Tab mceclip6.png The Destruction tab tracks all waste destructions associated with the harvest. As plants are harvested, Grow Technicians separate the usable parts of the cannabis plant from unusable plant waste, and this waste must be destroyed. Harvest destructions, along with most harvest activities, take place during the Harvest Process on the Gun App. However, Grow Technicians can Revert Harvest Destructions from the Destruction tab if waste is destroyed in error. Visit the Gun App to Open a Harvest and Harvest Plants. Grow Technicans can also Open Harvests through the Seed-to-Sale web platform.

Grow (Batch Subset) Profile

The Grow Profile hosts information and actions for a specific grow, also known as a batch subset. If plants in a batch mature at different rates, Grow Technicians may move the mature plants to a new grow room to expose them to new environmental conditions, and leave the straggling plants in their current grow room. This divides the batch between two locations, and the batch subset in each location is known as a Grow. This is not the same as Splitting a Batch through the Gun App, in which a Grow Technician splits a batch into two or more distinct batches. If Grow Technicians divide batch plants into multiple locations, the plants are still considered part of the same parent batch. A Grow Profile, unlike a Batch Profile, does not split information between multiple tabs. mceclip0.png A Grow's Profile displays basic information about the grow, including the parent batch's name and type, and the strain, number, age, and stage(s) of plants in the grow. Click Edit to change the batch's name, or select a new batch type from the drop-down menu. However, keep in mind that changing these fields on the Grow Profile affects the parent batch's name and type as well. The Plants section lists all plants in the grow. To put it another way, this section identifies which plants from the parent batch are housed in the specified location. Here, a Grow Technician has access to high-level information about each plant, including: - ID: The plant's ID number. - Strain: The plant's cannabis strain. - Birthday: The plant's date of birth. - Stick Week: The week of the plant's creation. If the plant's Stick Week is 43, it means the plant was created in the 43rd week of the calendar year. - Age: The plant's age, in days and weeks. - Parent: The plant's parent. If the plant was created through cuttings, the parent link will lead to the Mother Plant's Profile. If the plant was created from seeds, the parent link will lead to the Seed Lot's Profile. If the plant was purchased wholesale, the parent column will say Unknown Owner. - Stage: The plant's stage of cultivation. Select a plant to open the Plant's Profile. A grow is a subset of a larger parent batch. To access information about the parent batch, click View Entire Batch to visit the Batch's Profile. Grow Menu mceclip1.png Access a menu of options for the grow by clicking the icon. Most of these options are the same as those found in the menu on a Batch Profile. However, the Grow menu also presents a handful of unique options: - View Batch Report: Generate a Batch Overview Report. - Open Harvest: Open the Batch for Harvest. - Note*: This option only appears if the batch is in the Flowering stage. However, Ample Organics recommends Grow Technicians Open Harvests through the Gun App.* - Print Batch Tag: Print a Batch Tag. - Print Plant Labels: Print Barcodes for a Range of Plants in the Grow. - Advance Current Subset: Advance all Plants in the Grow. - Destroy Plants: Destroy the Batch Subset. - Restore Plants: Restore Destroyed Plants. - Archive Batch: Archive the batch subset. - Mark for Wholesale: Mark all Plants in the Batch for Wholesale. - Note*: This action affects the entire batch, not just the grow.* Visit the Gun App to Move a Batch or Batch Subset.

Rooms & Locations Tab

Grow Technicians use the Rooms & Locations tab to manage the Grow Rooms and locations in their facility. A Grow Room is any room dedicated to growing and caring for cannabis plants. A Grow Room is a top-level location that can contain any number of Child Locations–a row, table, or shelf within the room. Adding Child Locations allows Grow Technicians to be specific about a plant's exact location in a Grow Room. Depending on the licence holder's needs, Child Locations may be broken down to include Child Locations of their own, such as a section on a table or a shelf on a rack. There is no limit to the number of Child Locations each location can contains. As a best practice, licence holders should create a maximum of 200 distinct locations. Excessive locations can negatively affect report generation times [img rooms-and-locations] The Grow Rooms index displays all locations saved to the licence holder's system. Each Child Location is indented to indicate that it is a child of the unindented parent location above it. The index lists high-level information on each location, including: - Location: The location's name. - Own Plants: The number of plants in the specific location. - All Plants: The total number of plants in the specific location and its Child Locations. - Locations: The number of Child Locations within the location. - Strains: The number of cannabis strains in the location. - Created: The date on which the location was created. To Create a New Location, click New.For suggestions and tips on creating locations, visit the guide to Setting Up Rooms & Locations. Select a location to open the Location's Profile. To print labels for all locations, click Print All Labels. For more information on other Grow module tabs, visit the articles on: Propagation, Batches, Harvests,and Settings.

How to Restore a Destroyed Plant

If a Grow Technician destroys a plant in error, follow this process to reverse the destruction. Please note that this process restores an entire plant that has been marked as destroyed. The process to Revert a Plant Waste Destruction–a destruction in which the entire plant is not destroyed, like trimming moldy leaves–is slightly different. Note*: A plant moves to the Archived status once it has been destroyed, harvested, or claimed for wholesale. You cannot unarchive a plant that has been harvested or claimed for wholesale, so this process will only work for plants that have been destroyed.* Required permission(s): plant_read, plant_restore 1. In the Grow module, open the Propagation tab. [img propagation] 2. Select the Plant Search sub-tab. [img plant-search] 3. Click the All radio button to include archived plants in the search results. mceclip2.png 4. Select a destroyed plant from the list to open the Plant's Profile. - Note*: Quickly locate a specific plant by entering the plant's ID number in the search bar.* mceclip3.png 5. Scroll down, and click Restore. This opens the Restore Destroyed Plant modal. mceclip4.png 6. Indicate whether or not to adjust the destruction lot input weight using the radio buttons on the modal. If the plant was destroyed in a mass destruction with other plants, the input weight refers to the aggregate weight of all plants destroyed, so take care to only subtract the weight of the individual plant. mceclip5.png 7. Click Restore to restore the plant. mceclip6.png Visit the Destruction Process Guide for more information on destroying and restoring waste.

How to Print a Batch Tag – Grow Module

After creating a new batch of cannabis plants, a Grow Technician should immediately print batch tags for the batch. Labelling a batch with a tag serves two distinct purposes: First, labels identify the batch by its unique name and ID number. Secondly, and most importantly, each label includes a unique barcode that Grow Technicians can scan to interact with the batch through the Gun App. Batch labelling practices differ between licensed cannabis cultivators. Cultivators who don't Label Plants with individual plant ID tags may label each plant in the batch with a batch tag. However, cultivators who do label plants with individual plant ID tags may print a single batch tag to affix to a shelf or table, to indicate that all plants in the location belong to the same batch. A Grow Technician can also print a batch tag through the Gun App. Required permission(s): batch_read 1. In the Grow module, open the Batches tab. [img batches] 2. Select a batch to open the Batch's Profile. [img batch-profile] 3. Click the mceclip0.png icon to open a menu of options. [img batch-menu] 4. Select Print Batch Tag. This opens a printing modal. mceclip2.png 5. Open the drop-down menu provided, and select a printer. mceclip3.png 6. Enter the quantity of batch tags to print. This depends on the cultivator's Standard Operating Procedures–or SOPs. Cultivators who don't label plants with individual plant ID tags may label each plant in the batch with a batch tag, or they may print a single batch tag to affix to a shelf or table, to indicate that all plants in the location belong to the same batch. mceclip4.png 7. Click OK to print the batch tags. Label the batch immediately. mceclip5.png Through the Grow module, a Grow Technician can also print labels for Seed Lots, Plants, Grow Room Locations, and Child Locations.

Batches Tab

The Batches tab in the Grow module tracks and manages all batches saved to the licence holder's system. A batch is a group of plants of the same strain that are managed together. Typically, all plants in a batch are in the same stage of cultivation, live in the same grow room location, and go through all cultivation activities as a group. However, if the plants in a batch mature at different rates, Grow Technicians may divide the batch between locations into batch subsets known as Grows. This is not the same as Splitting the Batch into two or more distinct batches; A batch with multiple locations still counts as a single batch. mceclip0.png The Batches index displays high-level information for each batch, including: - Batch: The batch's unique name. - Strain: The strain of cannabis in the batch. - Type: The batch's type, which describes the batch's purpose. - *Visit the **Grow Settings*tab to Add a New Batch Type. - Plants: The number of plants in the batch. - Age: The batch's age, in days. - Stick Week: The week of the batch's creation. For example, if the batch's Stick Week is 43, it means the batch was created in the 43rd week of the calendar year. - Location: The batch's location. If the batch is split into Grows in multiple locations, all locations are listed here. - Created Via: The method by which the batch was created. - Stage: The stage(s) of plants in the batch. A Grow Technician can create a new batch from Wholesale Plants, by Planting Seeds from a Seed Lot, or by Taking Cuttings from a Mother Plant. Cutting events can be recorded though the Seed-to-Sale web platform or through the Gun App. Select a batch from the index to access the Batch's Profile. To view archived batches, click the Archived radio button. To quickly locate a specific batch, enter its name or batch ID in the Search bar. Click Print All Batch Labels to print labels for every batch in the system.

Propagation Tab

Grow Technicians use the Grow module's Propagation tab to propagate new plants and batches, and to store information on plant propagation materials such as seeds and Mother plants. mceclip0.png The Propagation tab splits into four sub-tabs: Mothers, Plant Search, Cutting Reports, and Seed Lots. Mothers The Mothers sub-tab tracks all Mother plants at the grow facility. A Mother is a plant designated for cloning, one of the primary methods of plant propagation. Grow Technicians take cuttings from Mother plants to grow new batches of genetically identical plants. This is ideal for preserving desirable traits and delivering consistent products to clients. Usually, Grow Technicians identify plants as Mothers when creating a batch of new plants. However, a Grow Technician can Change a Plant's Mother Status or Change a Batch's Mother Status at any time. [img mothers] Sort the index of Mother plants using any one of several fields: - Plant: Sorts the list by plant ID numbers. - Strain: Sorts the list by cannabis strain. - Age: Sorts the list by the Mother plants' age. - Location: Sorts the list by grow room location. To include archived Mothers in the Mother index, click the All radio button. To quickly locate a specific Mother plant, type its plant ID number into the Search bar. Select a Mother plant from the index to visit its Plant Profile. Plant Search The Plant Search sub-tab tracks all plants–including Mother plants–present at the grow facility. [img plant-search] Sort the index of plants using any one of several fields: - Plant: Sorts the list by plant ID numbers. - Strain: Sorts the list by cannabis strain. - Age: Sorts the list by the plants' age. - Location: Sorts the list by grow room location. To include archived plants in the plant index, click the All radio button. To quickly locate a specific plant, type its plant ID number into the Search bar. Select a plant from the index to visit its Plant Profile. Cutting Reports The Cutting Reports sub-tab tracks all cutting reports logged by Grow Technicians. A Cutting Report is a record of a cutting event when Grow Technicians take cuttings from one or more Mother plants to create a new batch. Creating a batch from cuttings automatically generates a new Cutting Report, which stores such information as the name of the new batch, the number of Mothers, the number of cuttings taken, and the strain of cannabis. [img cutting-reports] Sort the index of cutting reports using either of the following fields: - Batch: Sorts the list by batch name. - Strain: Sorts the list by cannabis strain. Click New to Create and New Batch from Cuttings. Grow Technicians can also Create a Batch from Cuttings through the Gun App. Select a Cutting Report from the index to visit the Cutting Report's Profile. Seed Lots The Seed Lots sub-tab tracks all Seed Lots available at a grow facility. A Seed Lot is a collection of seeds of the same strain used to grow new cannabis plants. Typically, Grow Technicians use plants grown from seeds for phenotype selection or research and development, in the interest of developing the strongest possible Mother plants for production. Grow Technicians usually store Seed Lots in a Vault Location until the seeds are ready for germination. [img seed-lots] The Seed Lots index displays high-level information on each Seed Lot, including the number of seeds in the Seed Lot, the aggregate weight of all seeds in the Seed Lot, and the Seed Lot's ID number, name, cannabis strain, and location. Click New to Create a New Seed Lot. Select a Seed Lot from the index to visit the Seed Lot's Profile. For more information on other Grow module tabs, visit the articles on Batches, Harvests, Rooms & Locations,and Settings.

How to Print a Range of Plant Labels – Grow Module

After creating a new batch of cannabis plants, a Grow Technician should immediately label the batch with batch ID tags, individual plant ID tags, or both. Batch and plant labeling practices differ among cannabis cultivation facilities. Some cultivators do not label plants individually, and instead opt to label plants only at the batch level. However, other cultivators label each plant with a unique plant ID label. Plant ID labels serve two distinct purposes: First, labels identify each plant by a unique ID number. Secondly, and most importantly, each label includes a unique barcode that Grow Technicians can scan to interact with the plant through the Gun App. Follow the steps below to print a range of plant ID labels for multiple plants in a single batch. This process is also possible through the Gun App. Required permission(s): batch_read, plant_read 1. In the Grow module, open the Batches tab. [img batches] 2. Select a batch to open the Batch's Profile. [img batch-profile] 3. Click the mceclip0.png icon to open a menu of options. [img batch-menu] 4. Select Print Plant Labels. This opens a printing modal. mceclip2.png 5. If the facility has multiple plant barcode printers, open the drop-down menu provided, and select a printer. Otherwise, the default printer will be pre-selected. mceclip3.png 6. Select the range of plant ID labels to print. By default, the modal selects a label range that represents all living plants in the batch, but a Grow Technician can edit the From and To fields to print labels for only a subset of the batch's plants. - Note*: This range excludes any plants that have been destroyed, archived, or moved to another batch.* mceclip4.png 7. Click Print to print the plant ID labels. Affix the labels to the plants immediately. mceclip5.png From the Grow module, a Grow Technician can also print labels for Individual Plants, Seed Lots, Batches, and Locations.

Grow Module

Grow Technicians use the Grow module to manage general cultivation activity happening in real time at their facility. Search and filter to find specific plants, batches, harvests, and locations, and track plants and batches through each stage of cultivation. mceclip0.png The Grow module is divided into six tabs: Overview, Propagation, Batches, Harvests, Room & Locations, and Settings. When a Grow Technician opens the Grow module, the Overview tab opens by default. Overview mceclip1.png The Overview tab displays a summary of all plants, batches, and recent activities within the Grow module. The Overview section lists the total plant count, the total batch count, the number of plants at each stage of cultivation, and the number of designated Mother plants. Click Inventory Report to generate a PDF report of all plant inventory by location. Activity mceclip2.png The Activity section displays the most recent activities in the Grow module, including each time a plant or batch is created, advanced through the stages of cultivation, moved to a new location, harvested, or destroyed. Each entry lists the user involved, the date and time of the activity, a brief description of the activity, and a link to the inventory item(s) affected by the activity. Some activities include several child events. Click Expand to see all events associated with the activity. Several cultivation functions take place exclusively through the Grow Room module on the Gun App.

How to Print a Plant Label – Grow Module

Depending on a cannabis cultivator's Standard Operating Procedures–or SOPs–Grow Technicians may print a distinct label for each individual plant after creating a new batch. Plant labels identify each plant with a unique ID number. Additionally, each label includes a unique barcode that Grow Technicians can scan to interact with the plant through the Gun App. Many cultivators opt out of labeling plants individually, and instead label all plants in a batch with a Batch Tag. This simplifies the process of advancing, harvesting or destroying plants en masse. However, cultivators should label Mother plants individually to facilitate the cloning process. A Grow Technician can also print a plant label from the Gun App. Required permission(s): plant_read 1. In the Grow module, open the Propagation tab. [img propagation] 2. Open the Plant Search sub-tab. [img plant-search] 3. Select a plant to open the Plant's Profile. - To quickly locate a specific plant, enter the plant's unique ID number in the search bar, and click the icon. [img plant-profile] 4. Click Print Plant Label. This opens a printing modal. mceclip3.png 5. If the facility uses multiple plant barcode printers, open the drop-down menu to select a printer. mceclip4.png 6. Click OK to print the plant label. Affix the label to the plant immediately. mceclip5.png From the Grow module, a Grow Technician can also print labels for Seed Lots, Batches, and Locations.
