Kill Individual Plant IDs from a Plant Group

Use this method to kill one or more Plant IDs from within a specific group without removing the entire group.

  1. Navigate to Grow from the left side menu.
  2. Select the plant development stage that contains the group (for example, Propagation or Vegetation).
  3. Click Groups in [stage] (for example, Veg Groups).
