Revision as of 23:11, 20 December 2023

In Bloom Wizard the term Grow is used for each of your unique growing projects.

You can create a Grow for a project you are going to start in the future, have already started, or have already completed. A Grow can have 1 plant, or more than 100 plants, but should generally be tracking the same type of plant.

Examples of a Grow

A bed of many beefsteak tomato plants
One pepper plant
Several cannabis plants
A small bunch of lavender

All the details/traits/statistics/etc regarding a Grow are called Attributes in Bloom Wizard.

When adding a Grow you will have several pages of attributes you can configure. Some attributes are automatically calculated.

If a Grow is Active then it will be represented by a Grow Card on the Dashboard.

Methods for Adding a Grow

Add a Grow function on primary toolbar
Copy an existing Grow
Clone an existing Grow
Import/copy data

Grow Stages

Bloom Wizard breaks the growing cycle into 5 stages. No stage is required, and you can use the stages in whatever way works best for you:

Starting

Encompasses everything from the very beginning (germination, seedling, rooting) up until Vegetative growth.

Vegetative: This stage usually starts when a plant is ready for full light and/or outdoor elements.
Flowering: This stage starts when a plant starts to flower/fruit.
Drying: A stage used to remove moisture.
Curing: A final stage typically used to remove moisture and improve the flavor of herbs.

3 states: Active, Archived, or in Cold-Storage.
It gets a unique ID [UID]. This is used to identify the Grow and is used in its filename: grow_[UID].csv
Grow files are saved in CSV format. These files can be accessed/shared/backed up/edited with common tools.
The Grow file contains all data about the Grow including Attributes, Tasks, and Readings.
It gets a serial number, starting at 1 and counting up for each Grow added.
