METRC Harvesting - wet and dry weights, waste, harvest packages and completion.

Once your Flowering plant group is harvested and you cut the plants down, you will begin the harvest process. Below are the steps to take a flowering group through the harvest process and create a package.

Record wet weights, harvest, and sync

Processing - Recording dry weights, creating harvest packages, and completing a harvest

Move harvested strains back to the Flowering phase

Sometimes you need to move the strain you harvested back to the 'Flowering' phase. If the harvest status is "Not Yet Synced," you can do that by following the steps below. Learn more here.

Enhancement to harvests sync

Some of our METRC people that send large harvests are experiencing METRC syncing only part of the plants. We now have a way to handle this situation and get all your plants harvested. Learn more here.

About Waste

Click here for a few important tips about Waste:
• If you want to record waste for a harvest, you must sync the harvest to METRC first!
• METRC does not differentiate from Wet Waste vs. Dry Waste. The waste logged in the Harvest log under the "Processing" tab adds to the total waste.
• To send waste weights to Metrc, select the "Record Waste" Option under the "action" button dropdown under either the Harvest or Processing tab in Grow:

General steps to follow

Flourish supports many workflows for harvesting and manage post-harvest weights. Below is a general summary of steps to follow, but your actual workflow may differ. For example, you may package all whole wet weight and process it elsewhere.

  1. Select the Groups or Plants to harvest
  2. Create a new harvest or harvest into an existing harvest
  3. METRC required a whole wet weight per plant.
    1. Manually enter these numbers.
    2. Use the CSV export and import to upload weights.
    3. Use our hand scanner to input these weights
  4. Use the Log Waste action to log total wet waste
  5. Once you are ready to start trimming, move the Harvest to the processing tab
  6. Enter dry weights here. Any weights entered here are not reported to METRC. This is a great way for you to document what you have on hand Before packing it into inventory.
    NOTE: Most states required packaging and finishing the harvest within a specific time period, often 90 days.
  7. Create packages to officially tag inventory and deduct from the aggregate weights entered.
  8. Use the action menu to log any dry waste. This will be reported back to METRC.
  9. Once you are completely finished, you can "complete" the harvest.
    NOTE: This is a final action that you can not undo.
