Creating Plants in Flourish: Overview
How plants start in Flourish: set up propagation rooms and strains, create plants from clones, seeds, or tissue culture, and move them into the grow cycle.
Table of Contents
Purpose
This article walks through how plants start in the Grow module, from setting up a Propagation area to getting new plants into the grow cycle, and links to the guide for each step.
Every plant in Flourish starts in the Propagation stage with the Create Plants action. Creating plants records each plant's strain, what it was planted from (a mother, another group, a package, seed, or tissue culture), and the group it belongs to. That record follows the plant through harvest and into every package made from it.

1. Set Up Your Facility
- Set up at least one area with the Propagation area type. New plants can only be created in Propagation areas. See Cultivation Area Attributes.
- Add the strains you grow. See How to Create Strains.
2. Create Plants
Choose what the plants came from, how many there are, and which group they go into.
- Create Plants from Clones, Seeds, or Tissue Culture: the full walkthrough, including every Plant from option and the Metrc fields.
- Metrc facilities: Create Multiple Plant Batches at Once: enter the area, group, and date once, then create batches across several origins and strains in one step.
- Metrc facilities: Inbound a Package and Use It to Create Clones when the clones or seeds arrived on a transfer.

3. Sell Clones (Optional)
If you sell clones instead of growing them out, package them from the group.
4. Move Plants into the Grow Cycle
- Track Plants Through the Cultivation Lifecycle
- Move Plants Between Areas in the Grow Module
- Split a Group, for example to move part of a group or combine new plants with a group in a later stage.
5. Harvest
Metrc State Differences
Flourish reads your facility's Metrc configuration and shows only the fields your state needs. The main differences:
- Plant batch tag or name: some states, such as California, identify each batch with a plant tag. Most others use a unique batch name.
- Plants per batch: California limits a batch to 100 plants, and many states use the same cap. Create more batches for more plants.
- Burned package tag: states that require clones to be packaged before planting ask for a package tag. Flourish creates and plants from that package in one step, and the tag is used up.
- Cloning from batches, sourceless batches, and tissue culture are allowed only in some states.
