Overview
Unfortunately, not every plant gets to live its best life and reach harvest. When that happens, you’ll need to record a Destruction Event—basically a log that tracks what was destroyed and why. These are grouped into what we call a Destruction Lot.
Before You Start
Before getting started, make sure:
You’ve got the right permissions (Admins and Members are good to go!)
You know which Batch the plants are coming from
You’ve got a clear reason for why they’re being destroyed
Step 1: Find the Right Batch
Let’s make sure we’re working with the correct plants.
Head over to the Batch Detail page for the batch in question.
Click Batch Actions.
Select Destroy Plants from the dropdown.
Step 2: Fill Out the Destruction Form
This is where you log what happened to the plants.
Choose how you want to Destroy By:
Plant Count – for a bulk amount without needing to ID each one
Plant ID(s) – for tracking specific plants
Select a Destruction Lot to group this event with others (or hit the grey
+to create a new one).Weight (g) (optional) – if you want to record how much plant material is being destroyed.
Pick a Destruction Reason—for example, “Non-Viable”. Use the
+to add a new reason if needed.Add a Description to include any extra context or details.
Set the Collected On date to backdate the event if needed.
🗒️ Note: Logging the Destruction Event means the plants have been collected for destruction—but they’re not fully “destroyed” until the Destruction Lot is officially closed.
Troubleshooting
Problem: I can’t destroy the Plants in the Batch
Fix: Check if the batch has a locked or restricted status. If it does, you’ll need to chat with your system Admin or contact Elevated Signals Support for help.
