Grow

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

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

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.

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.

Ready

The Grow is ready for consumption and or use.
