Effective 9/19/24, Metrc, in collaboration with OMMA, requires that any new batch of clones be associated with a package tag. See Metrc Bulletin OK-IB-0041. Follow this guide to learn how to create Immature Plant Batches with a package tag in GrowFlow!
Step 1: Create Immature Plant Batch Packages
1. Click ➕ New atop the Clones, Seeds column on the Grow Overview
2. To create clones, select Immature Plants as the plant starter type. Select Seeds if you're creating seeds.
3. Select a room. Optionally, select a table.
4. Optional: Choose a new strain
If you don’t have plants of the same strain, type in and select the applicable strain. Otherwise, clones or seeds inherit the mother plant’s strain.
5. The plant list shows vegging or flowering plants currently active in your account. If creating clones or seeds from a specific mother plant, use the filters or search bar to locate them.
6. In the #New column of the mother plant's line item, enter the number of clones to create from that mother plant.
Notes:
Per-batch limit: Above the #New column, set a limit to divide clones into batches. For example, if you enter 550 clones to create from one mother plant and set a per-batch limit of 100, GrowFlow will automatically create 5 batches of 100 and 1 batch of 50.
This setting is particularly useful if you are using clone trays with a specific number of clone spots per tray. By setting the per-batch limit to match the number of spots per tray, each tray will be considered a separate batch and will be associated with its own package tag.
Next Tag to Use: The next package tag is displayed for reference. If you need to edit it, click on the tag ID, find your preferred tag, and click Use Next.
7. Finish by clicking Create
8. Confirm the tag(s) to use
9. After creation, Immature Plant Batch Packages are stored in the Packages column on the left-hand side of the Grow Overview
Step 2: Unpack Immature Plant Batches
In Metrc, this process is known as "planting". During this step, the Immature Plant Batches are progressed to the Clones, Seeds column while maintaining association with the source package tag.
1. In the Packages column, hover over an Immature Plant Batch and click the green arrow to unpack it. To unpack multiple strains within a room or an entire room, click the topmost green arrow.
2. Select the Immature Plant Batch(es) to unpack
Note: Select the entire quantity of the immature plant batch to unpack to avoid duplicate tag errors in Metrc. If clones or seeds from the batch need to be destroyed, you can do so before or after unpacking, using the Destroy function.
3. Select a room. Optionally, select a table.
4. The Use source package ID as plant batch name box is checked by default, as Metrc requires association with package tags. Keep this box checked.
5. Finish by clicking Un-Pack
6. After unpacking, the immature plants will be moved to the Clones, Seeds column on the Grow Overview and associated with the source package tag ID.
