This is pretty interesting. So if I understand this right... you would NOT promote to Seeds or Clones like you do now. Rather, you'd click the drop-down for that phase, click New and there would be a button or whatever to identify the Seeds Mother/Father or the Clones/Mother. If you bought the Seed/Clone, you leave it alone. If you were breeding or cutting, you set it?
I'm a bit lit right now, but it seems really clean and makes a lot of sense to me. Also like the ideas of passing along Strain info.
haha same here and I was afraid that wouldn't make any sense at all because of it.
Let me try and expand on what I mean a little because it was just sort of a flash..
When you create something new for example, you have your current options of seed, clone,veg, etc.
So either you could select "veg" and than in veg specify if it's a mother. Which would automatically promote it to a class in itself.
Or you could create a new class "mother/father" which would have the same fields for entering data like all the other options.
But from there it's "locked" it doesn't get calculated/promoted with other plants. Unless you override it..
When you get into that (mother) option there would be a field where you can create "offspring/clones" which which you can "export/promote" to the "cloning" class and that "generation" begins.
Now if that makes any sense,, going back to the mother and creating the clones from it. You could possibly have a field where you enter in the amount of clones taken from the mother. From there you can "export" it to the cloning section and have ID's generated for each clone or allow the user to specify the id.
Then there is no reason to enter a new clone for each one since the software will do it for you. Also in the "parent" class you could keep track on how old the mother is, how many total cuttings have been taken from her or whatever information someone might want to track on their mom.
If you bought something like clones, than you just create a new clone like you can already.
say I have a mom I want to enter into the system.
I go to the seeds/plants tab. Select "mother" from the drop down list.
Enter in all the info and hit save. Now you have a "mother"
when you want to take cuttings, go to the mother, enter in the amount of cuttings
you take. Click export and the software creates x amount of clones for you.
All the relevant info is filled in from the mother and each clone has a unique ID but still associated with the "parents".
Thanks for the hard work and keep the updates coming
