How to Record a Multiplication Event in GrowerIQ

Learn how to record when plants multiply and distribute the new plants to vessels.

Before You Start

Make sure you have:

  • Access to the Tissue Culture module
  • A vessel with at least 1 plant (empty vessels cannot multiply)
  • Knowledge of the health status and media type for new vessels

Step 1: Navigate to the Vessel

From the main menu, click Tissue Culture then Vessels.

Find and click on the vessel you want to multiply from.

Step 1: Navigate to Tissue Culture > Vessels and select a vessel

Step 2: Open the Multiplication Event Dialog

On the vessel detail page, click the Multiplication Event button.

Note: This button is only available when the vessel has plants.

Step 2: Click the Multiplication Event button on the vessel detail page

Step 3: Enter Multiplication Details

In the first step of the dialog:

  1. Enter Plants Used - how many plants from this vessel were used
  2. Enter Plants Created - how many new plants resulted from the multiplication
  3. The Multiplication Rate calculates automatically

Click Next to continue.

Step 3: Enter the number of plants used and plants created

Step 4: Choose Distribution Type

Select how you want to distribute the new plants:

  • All to New Vessel - Put all plants in one new vessel
  • Multiple Vessels - Split plants across several new vessels

Step 4: Select whether to create one or multiple new vessels

Step 5: Configure New Vessel(s)

For each new vessel, set:

  1. Plant Count - Use the slider or type a number
  2. Health Indicator - Select the plant health status
  3. Media Type - Select the growth media used
  4. Vessel Stage - Select the starting stage

Tip: Click Distribute Evenly to split plants equally across all vessels.

If creating multiple vessels:

  • Click Add Vessel to add more vessels
  • Click the trash icon to remove a vessel

The total plants must equal the plants created in Step 3.

Step 5: Configure health, media type, and stage for each new vessel

Step 6: Review and Submit

Review the summary showing:

  • Source vessel information
  • Multiplication rate achieved
  • Details of each new vessel to be created

Click Submit to complete the multiplication event.

Step 6: Review the summary and click Submit

You're Done!

You have successfully recorded a multiplication event. The system will:

  • Reduce the plant count on the source vessel
  • Create the new vessel(s) with your settings
  • Record the multiplication in the activity log

Next steps:

  • Click the vessel links in the success message to view new vessels
  • Continue monitoring vessel health indicators
  • Record the next multiplication when plants are ready
