When you first run it or after it's been open for a bit? Which version are you using (where did you download it)?

Thanks for keeping this software up to date. I really enjoy having something encrypted to track grows on. I have one suggestion for it though. Under the reservoirs tab it has the current contents area. I think it would be nice if that weren't forced to one line without wrapping. I prefer to keep res change data there but after 3 or 4 of them it starts to become a hassle to scroll all the way over. The other option is excel; it's not encrypted though :\
Sounds like an easy adjustment, but I could be way off. Either way, awesome program.

Were you guys planning on adding a "date vegged" box like you have with "date germed" "date cloned"?
I'm even leary to ask because I know it's so early beta and it might very well be on the "to do" list.
I also might be looking at this wrong but the reason I ask is this example here..
I take a cutting to clone today. I enter it in the software and select todays date.
The software considers that the beginning of vegetation and I don't.
I don't consider the veg state to start until I put it into the medium it will spend its life in, if that makes sense to you.
For now I created an event called true veg so I know how many days the girls have really been in their medium.
Because I can have a cutting in the cloner for 21 days and than put it in the medium for x amount of days but the software
is tracking it as say 55 days veg.. When in reality to me it's only been 30 days.

Same here, and I downloaded it from the site given above. I save it to my desktop from the downloading site and then when I try to open and run it it gives me that error.
Couple of questions:
Did you install .NET 4? Are you downloading the Stable version which has all necessary components, or the BETA version which contains only the HerbIQ.exe?
I think this is fixed in the current version of the code (.2 BETA). Which version do you have?

I have the original one but I was trying to get the second one that came out. I had no problem with the first one it is the second one from http://sourceforge.net/projects/herbiq/files/BETA%20Test%20Packages/HERB.IQ-v2%20BETA.rar/download that I am having a problem with.
Yes, we should have a date option for this as we do with the other values. This would not be a big change. I'll take a look @ it.
Ok, for that one you should replace your existing HerbIQ.exe in your programs folder (maybe C:\Program Files\HERB.IQ) with the HerbIQ.exe in the .rar you get from the link you posted. HerbIQ.exe may be looking for some files it expects and can't find them since I didn't include everything, only the executable and maybe a lone .dll. If you're doing this, I'm stumped for the moment.

I downloaded the most recent .exe from sourceforge listed here. Would I need the other files as well for it to be properly up to date? I mean I have the other .dll but its from the initial install I did.
Cool that's the box I was looking for. Thank you. Not sure if it's intentional but on the home tab in the status it still reflects the veg time from the clone date.
That might be a good thing though to let you know the overall age of the plant.
ie: 33 days since XXX - XX-1 has been in veg (which is how old the plant is.)
vs: custom status - days since event: (veg)
44 - xxx - xx-2 (veg - x/xx/xxxx)
54 - xxx - xx-3 (veg - x/x/xxxx)
Version with the front status box changed as discussed.

hi, want to start by saying thanks for the share..... I have downloaded this from you a while ago, and am implementing it right now as I am taking clones... I am sure these items have been addressed, and if so, I apologize for not reading through the entire thread right now.
I would like to walk you through my thoughts as I use your program, and possibly there may be a way to do what I am talking about already and you could help me out?
I have seedlings ready to clone for sexing. so I am setting up the software.
I don't mind adding all the information for my plant... I have several strains to clone from today, and a few plants of a few strains as well, so you'll see what I mean.
I start off with Violator Kush... I add a new veg plant, enter info and I name this VKush1... as I have 5 of them, and then save it.
I go to add plant 2.. which is going to be VKush2. I hit new, as it's another plant. I see Violator Kush from the strain drop down menu.. and click on it. I go to click on the next info box to type it in as it's the same info as the previous one, and there's no auto complete... so I have to type it all in again.. I save. I hit new again and enter VKush3... same thing. Now I took 2 clones from VKush1. So I go to the "clones" page. Hit "New".. I am expecting to go to some drop down menu attached to my list of veg plants, and select copies from that info.. but it made me input all the info again... If I take 50 Clones every 2 weeks from 7 different strains you see where time to input becomes counter productive.
My Suggestions to this point,
1. It's good to input your own plant's information for every plant type once , but then we should have the ability to copy that info for more plants of the same type but still be able to make each copy editable would be great!
2. When I have a plant in "veg".. and I want to take clones from it, there could be a button to make a clone that would automatically copy all information to the clones section, but leave the plant in veg as is.. not just "promote" and move it to a different phase.
So I could go to my list of Veg plants, and pick VKush 2, and make 3 clones from it by hitting a "copy" type button, and sets those up in my clones section for me to edit as needed, and promote as you have here.
If these things have already been brought up, then I'm sorry for wasting your time, but if I am doing something wrong, being set straight would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Thanks for the input cowell, keep any issues or suggestions you see coming, we love to hear any input as it helps us make it better! We have discussed this not too long ago and plan on correcting it in the 0.2 release in a few weeks, I can put it up in a beta release this weekend to test too.
Ya, we need to add definable strains to the data file. All strain-related info should be saved and auto-populated if you pick that strain again. A workaround I've been using is to create a single plant record with all the strain info. Up the Quantity to the # you have. Then right-click on your plant and click Split Off Plant.
You are left with your original plant record with 1 less quantity and a new plant record with all the same info copied over and a new PlantID given.
Same trick as above could apply here. Certainly it's not ideal, but it does same some effort.
No problem @ all! We love the feedback and appreciate the suggestions. Let us know if you have any more questions.
Note: The workaround I reference above exists in v.2 Beta only.

I'd be more than happy to check it out.. and I still have to add the rest of my plants to the software anyway.. is the 0.2 going to be an update or will you have to re-enter your info?
I appreciate that! I can and likely will give you feedback as I test, thanks again!
