Before You Start
The plant must already exist in GrowFlow
Confirm the plant's strain is correct before you designate it. Clones inherit the mother's strain name, so a wrong strain carries over to every clone you cut.
Designate Plants as Mothers
A Mother Plant is a plant that can be cloned from. Marking a plant as a Mother in GrowFlow Wholesale links every clone you create from it back to its source plant, so you can trace genetics and lineage on your plant records. Moving your mothers into a dedicated Mothers room keeps them separate from your Veg room, so they aren't accidentally flowered, harvested, or destroyed along with other plants.

1. Locate the plant you want to use as the Mother via Grow > Plants
2. Check the box to the right of the Plant's line item
3. Click More, then click Modify from the drop-down
4. In the Modify Plants window, check the Yes box under the words Is Mother
5. Click Modify Plants
6. Click on the ID number of the plant you've just modified to open the Plant Details window, which will show that that plant is now recognized as a Mother Plant in your account by displaying a checkmark next to Is Mother
Moving Mother Plants into Mother Room
Now that you've successfully designated a Plant as a Mother, let's move its current room to a separate room called Mother in your account.
Note: If you do not currently have a Plant Room called Mothers, first create a new Room via Admin > Rooms by clicking +New Plant room and name it "Mothers", then proceed with the following steps.
1. While on the Plants Overview screen, check the box to the right of the Plant's line item.
2. Click Move.
3. In the Move Plants window, select the Mother's room from the drop-down
4. Click Move Plants.
5. Now the plant will show as being held in the Mother's room in the Plant Overview.

What Can Go Wrong
My clones don't show which mother they came from: The mother relationship only carries over when clones are created directly from the Mother Plant.
I moved a mother to Flower or Harvest, or destroyed it, by mistake: If the plant was moved to Flower, follow Wholesale: Undo Flowering Plants to return it to Veg.
I can't find my Mother Plant after changing its name or strain: Search the Plants Overview by the plant's tag or ID, or filter by the plants room.
The wrong strain carried over to my clones: Fix the mother's strain using More > Modify before you cut more clones. Existing clones keep the mother name they were created with.
I bought new mother plants, and they're not in GrowFlow: A plant must exist in your account before you can mark it as a mother.
