Single Plant Tracking

Last updated on Feb 06, 2026

GrowerIQ assigns an ID to each plant. If you need to track plants individually when they move to a batch or destruction queue, you can make plant IDs visible. They'll appear throughout your site, and you'll be prompted to manually select plant IDs when splitting a batch or adding plants to a destruction queue.

In this article:

Turning on Manual Single Plant Tracking

Go to Administration > Organization Settings. Under Single Plant IDs, select the option that makes plant IDs visible.

What Changes

When this setting is enabled, the following things will change:

Plant IDs become visible

You will see a new tab showing all the individual plant IDs in the plant batch.

You'll also see the individual plant IDs for the following:

  • Master Batch Record
  • Mother Plants
  • Mother Plant Batches
  • Destructions
  • Destruction Report
  • Batch Record

Destructions can be applied to specific plant IDs

When you perform a destruction, you will see a field to select the plant IDs to destroy. (You can leave it blank to allow the system to auto-select plant IDs as before.)

In the destruction queue, destruction history, and destruction report, you'll see the individual plant IDs that were destroyed.

Plant ID allocation can be controlled when splitting a plant batch

When you split a plant batch, you will be able to specify which plant IDs (or ranges of plant IDs) will go into the new batch. You can leave it blank to allow the system to auto-select plant IDs as before.

Label printouts can be indexed by plant ID

You will have the option to index printed labels by plant IDs instead of sequential numbering.

The plant IDs will appear wherever the "plant_id" variable is present on the label template. Edit the label template(s) you want to use for this feature, add a TEXT element, then in the label field, select "Plant ID" from the drop-down menu.

Turning the Feature off

Even with plant IDs hidden, GrowerIQ keeps track of individual plant IDs, but they won't be shown anywhere. When you split a batch or add plants to a destruction queue, the system selects the plant IDs to use without involving the user. If you make plant IDs visible again, control over plant ID selection will be returned to the user.
