Create a Propagation Batch

Creating propagations is the first stage of the growing process. Propagations are added as groups or batches in Trace. A propagation batch is a group of plants that are in the propagation phase of the plant lifecycle, created from the same strain on the same date. These include seeds, clones, or tissue cultures. 

 

Before you begin

Strain and room are required when creating a propagation batch, which means both strains and rooms must be added before creating a propagation batch.

 

Create a propagation batch

  1. Click Propagations in the Trace sidebar.
  2. Click Add.
    • The Add a New Propagation pop-up window will open.
  3. Type a propagation batch name in the Batch Name field. 
    • By default, the propagation batch name will populated as <STRAIN_NAME> - <DATE> - <TIME>.                                                                                                                              prop_name.png
  4. Click the Strain drop-down and select the propagation batch strain.                    prop_strain.png                            
  5. Click the Mother drop-down and select the propagation batch's mother plant based on the selected strain.           

    Adding propagations without an associated mother plant is permitted in Bamboo but is not a compliant action without the express permission of your state. Typically this is granted by states for the purpose of entering initial inventory.

  6. Click the Source Type drop-down and select the propagation source type (the source from which the propagations are being created).                                                                                           prop_source.png
  7. Type the number of plants you are going to create in the Quantity field.                                           prop_qty.png     
  8. Click the Propagation Room drop-down and select the room in which the propagation batch will be located.                                                                                                                                            prop_room.png
  9. Click the Plugged By drop-down and select the user that plugged the propagations.

    By default, this field is auto-populated with the current user.

  10. Click the Cut By drop-down and select the user that cut the propagations.

    By default, this field is auto-populated with the current user.

  11. Click the Calendar icon in the Date field and select the date the propagation batch was created.

    By default, this field is auto-populated with today's date.

  12. Click Submit to create the propagation batch.

    • The propagation batch will appear on the Propagations page. Propagation batches cannot be deleted, but you can choose to destroy them. Selecting individual or multiple propagations on the Propagations page and clicking Actions will enable you to manage the propagation batch by clicking various actions.
