Add a Strain

Adding Strains is the starting point of using Trace as strains must first be added to be available for selection when creating propagations. Strains must also be added in Trace before they will be available for selection when creating products in Sales.  

 

Add a strain 

  1. Click Strains in the Trace sidebar.
  2. Click Add.
    • The Add Strain pop-up window will open.
  3. Click Upload and select a strain image to upload.

    Uploading an image is optional but recommended as strain images for Made to Order products are pulled directly from Trace and are displayed on the live Offer Menu in Sales.

  8. Type the optional THC and CBD potency levels in the THC and CBD fields.

    For  metrc® Users, This means that if a strain is tested as containing *15%* THC potency, then every gram of dried flower of that strain contains *0.15* grams of THC. Potency can drastically change between a single plant or from plant to plant, so the percentage that should be entered into metrc® would be the average potency percentage from all tests in the past two years. If no tests have been conducted please use your best estimate.

  9. Slide the Indica or Sativa toggle to add the strain's Indica and Sativa percentages.

    By default, this is set at 50% for both Indica and Sativa. Adjusting the percentage for either will adjust the percentage of the other so that the total for both Sativa and Indica equals 100%. (Required for metrc users).
