Immature plant batches are now able to be “split” after creation, as seen in Figures 1 and 2. This process can be used in a case of moving part of an immature plant batch to another location. Please note that there is no way to undo this action nor the ability to merge different plant batches.

Once the Split Plantings is selected, an action window opens where they will complete the information about the new planting, including Plants Count, Group Name, Strain, Location, and Planting Date. Once this information is completed, then select the "Split Plantings" Button.
