Key Metrics
The current lab population and the recent contamination signals that need the quickest review.
Population by cultivar ?A current snapshot, stacked by stage. The chart shows the largest 15 populations so it stays readable; every cultivar remains in the Lab Health table.
Current active shoots, largest populations first
Contamination events / cycle over time ?Each point is plant contamination events divided by unique multiplication cycles that week. A logged event may represent more than one vessel. Choose View full history to expand this chart and include every recorded date.
Weekly incident rate in the selected window
Contamination types ?Logged plant contamination incidents grouped by the type selected by the tech: Bacterial, Mold, or Unknown. Media-only contamination is excluded.
Plant incidents in the selected window
Mold events / cycle by cultivar ?Mold events divided by unique multiplication cycles for that cultivar in the selected window. This is an incident rate, not percent of plants lost. Cultivars with no matching cycle are listed below the chart.
Highest event rate first
Best Media by Cultivar ?Recipes are compared within each cultivar. Best Mult Rate produces the most total shoots per shoot started. Best RIM / Node produces the most RIM-ready shoots per node started. Best Overall balances both. Cycles logged shows the amount of evidence behind the result.
Which recipe is producing the strongest multiplication and RIM results for each cultivar, with the most-tested lines first.
Media & Vessel Readiness ?The same live media-batch counts shown in Lab Health. Ready inventory is past QC and not expired; vessels holding plants come from active stage records.
What is ready to use, what is still in QC, and how many vessels are holding plants now.
Vessels: Can Fill vs. In Use ?Filled (ready) is usable media still on the shelf. In Use Now is active test tubes and multiplication or RIM vessels currently holding plants.
Usable filled vessels compared with active vessels holding plants

Cultivar Mult Rates
Average shoots produced (output + elongated) per shoot in, across all multiplication records, per cultivarCalculated as (output + elongated) / subcultured shoots when filled, otherwise previous shoots averaged across every multiplication entry for that cultivar. Counts every shoot the cycle produced (kept in tubs plus pulled for rooting), so it matches the Mult tab. Higher = better multiplier; flag low performers for a media swap or pull from rotation.
Top Media Per Cultivar
Best media for each cultivar by mult rate, RIM shoots, and overallThe winning media per cultivar on three measures: best Mult Rate (throughput), best RIM / Node (RIM shoots pulled or recorded as kept, per node started), and best Overall (strong at both, scored 0-100).

Performance vs Goals
Per cultivar: on-track status (Mult rate + Rooting), pipeline funnel, and the RIM rate for informationAre we on track to hit the goal? The current-phase goal is 43 RIM shoots on hand per cultivar (grandma stock: 43 RIM shoots make the 39 grandma plants). The last column shows RIM shoots on hand vs that 43 goal. The rate columns are process health: Target = your model's assumed rate (a manual override if set, otherwise the locked default), Actual = your tracked rate once there is enough data. Status counts Mult rate and Rooting only; the RIM column is informational (its 60 percent model target assumes a full RIM production week, so a no-pull stretch would otherwise mark a healthy cultivar At risk). The RIM shoots actual is the last 30 days: elongated RIM shoots per node you started each mult cycle with. Pulls logged on the Rooting tab count, and so do shoots recorded in the mult form's RIM kept box (RIM-ready but deliberately not pulled), so a week where the schedule was not calling for RIM reads as capability instead of a zero; Mult rate and Rooting are lifetime. The goal column's start ≈N nodes line is the plan: at that yield, how many nodes the next cycle must start to reach the 43. Full detail on the Production Planner and Media Performance tabs.

Overall Performance
Per-cultivar and per-media rates from all logged history, independent of the 43 goalHow each cultivar and its medias actually perform, with no goal attached. Mult rate = every shoot produced per shoot started, all history. RIM / node = elongated RIM shoots per node started at the beginning of each mult cycle, shown for all history and for the last 30 days. Pulls logged on the Rooting tab count, and so do shoots recorded as RIM kept (ready but deliberately not pulled). Rooting = rooted per shoot sent, completed batches only. The media chips show the same mult and RIM measures for each media the cultivar runs on; full detail on the Media Performance tab.
Build populations to continuously produce 90 finished rooted plants per cultivar every 3 weeks.
How this schedule works
Loading the schedule.
Your cultivar production calendar (PDF). Stored privately, only logged-in lab users can see it, never on a public link. A Lab Administrator or Lab Manager can upload or replace it.
Tissue culture takes time. Type how many finished plants you need and a request date, and we'll show you the earliest realistic date you can hand them off to veg, plus when the first Gen 1 cuttings can come off those moms.
A generic estimator for one-off questions: tell it how many finished clones the client needs and when. It sizes the run in moms (each mom safely yields about this many production clones), works backwards through the whole pipeline (through hardening), and shows the latest date initiation has to start. If that start date is already in the past, a cold start cannot make it, those moms have to already be growing or come from existing stock. For real production planning use the Production Planner by Room (the Readiness tab), which uses your lab's RIM hand off and grandmother model instead.

No multiplication records yet. Data will appear here as subculturing begins.
1. At subculture, elongated shoots are pulled into RIM deli tubs. The count goes in the RIM box on the Multiplication tab, and the batch appears here on its own.
2. It sits in RIM about a week.
3. On the Wednesday of the following week the veg team collects it. Press Hand Off and it moves to the Cloning tab.
4. After the rooting window (14 days unless your lab is set up differently) you count how many rooted. That is the success rate.
5. Rooted clones transplant onward, and anything lost gets recorded at Hardening. RIM shoots logged on the Multiplication tab auto-appear here. They sit in RIM ~1 week, then transfer to the Cloning stage (the veg team picks them up every Wednesday for the previous week's batches). Manually add a RIM batch using the form below only if it did not come through Mult.
No RIM batches yet. They appear here automatically when elongated shoots are logged on the Multiplication tab, or you can add one manually above.
A batch lands here when you press Hand Off on the RIM tab. It arrives already carrying its cultivar, shoot count and dates, so there is nothing to re-type.
Your job is the rooted count: enter how many newly rooted at each Root Check and they add up to the batch total (or type the final total straight into the Rooted box). Count at the end of your lab's rooting window, 14 days after it left RIM unless your lab is set up differently, and the success rate calculates itself.
Record anything you throw away under Tossed, so the numbers reconcile.
Success shows "--" while a row is open for editing. It fills in once you press Save. Batches still in RIM stay on the RIM tab until you hand them off. Log # Sent, then your root checks as they happen; the rooted total adds up and the success rate auto-calculates. Roots typically visible 9-14 days. Crack dome open at 7-10 days as they harden off.
No rooting records yet. Data will appear here when plants move to rooting stage.
No hardening records yet. Data will appear here when rooted plants are transplanted.
Per-cultivar rooting success and hardening yield. Built from your rooting and hardening logs. Use this to spot which cultivars root well, which need a hormone tweak, and which lose plants in hardening.
Rooting Success = rooted ÷ sent to RIM, counting only batches that finished the clone stage (transplanted into hardening). Batches still in RIM are not counted yet. Hardening Yield = gave to veg ÷ transplanted, counting only batches that have been given to veg. Color bands: ≥80% strong, 65-80% on target, 50-65% watch, <50% needs attention.
The Status pill on each row is the thing to look at. In Storage means it is sleeping and needs nothing. Pull This Week and Overdue Pull are the rows asking for action. Re-stored means that round is finished and is history.
Stagger Groups A and B so they come due at different times. Use the recorded removal due date and your lab's configured storage interval. Log healthy explants under Group A or B. The due-actions list shows the next step and deadline from each record and your lab's configured rotation. Follow your lab SOP for storage conditions and shoot targets.

Once the media is made, click below to save it straight into the Media Log. The calendar and Media Inventory will pick it up automatically; no double entry.
1. Pick one of your lab's configured recipes at the top.
2. Enter how many 2L or 1L autoclave bottles you're making, or type in a volume directly.
3. Optional: enter # of deli tubs and test tubes you plan to fill, then hit "Use Recommended Volume" to auto-size your batch.
4. Use the Calculated Amounts table and follow your lab's approved recipe and procedure.
5. Click "Log This Batch" to save the entry. It feeds the Media Log, Calendar, and Media Inventory automatically, no re-typing.
Live vessel counts from your media batch logs. Track what you have, what's expiring, and plan what you'll need.

Track which media work best per cultivar. Each new cultivar starts on up to 5 hormone blends; use this dashboard to narrow down to the top MT (for morphology and multiplication) and PX (for shoot elongation and rooting production).
Mult Rate = (output + RIM shoots) ÷ previous shoots. RIM / Node = RIM shoots (pulled, plus any recorded as RIM kept) ÷ nodes the cycle started with, the same per-node measure the Dashboard uses; pulls logged on the Rooting tab count too, and a batch run on several recipes splits its pulls across them by node share. Overall = each media scored 0-100 against the best media for that cultivar on both axes (mult rate and RIM per node), then averaged, so the winner is strong at both. Contamination Rate from the contamination log.
Best Media Per Cultivar
The winning media for each cultivar on three measures: best Mult Rate (total throughput), best RIM / Node (RIM shoots pulled or recorded as kept, per node started), and best Overall (strong at both). Any family can win, MT or PX, narrowing your starters down to your winners.

Panel coverage by pathogen
Cq at or below 38 is positive. Above 38 is negative. A lab result of Undetermined is suspect: resample and retest, do not promote the line and do not use it as a mother. Viroids (HpLVd, PSTVd, etc.) are screened the same way as viruses.
No test results recorded yet.
Use it to compare the physical lab with Metrc. TC Lab never creates, changes, or combines Metrc records for you.
One tag is for one cultivar and one documented source. Record each tag with its cultivar, source and stage allocation. Follow the stage requirements shown in the batch form.
See current populations and saved tags together. Counts update from your lab records. Use Manage tags to update an existing allocation or record a new batch tag after creating it in Metrc. Dismiss a reminder when no tag change is needed; it returns when the population or allocation changes. This worksheet does not send anything to Metrc.
Needs Attention ?Optional tag reminders.
Review a new population or changed allocation. You can update an existing tag, record a new one, or dismiss the reminder. Dismissing does not confirm a Metrc update or hide the current population. Save failures and missing storage groups still need attention.

Current lab counts ?One cultivar line can have several stage counts.
Saved tags appear beneath their stage counts. Cold A and Cold B keep separate allocations. Do not put different cultivars under the same Metrc batch tag.
Tracked total covers the stages shown here. Revival A and B show live shoots out of cold storage. Existing tag allocations stay unchanged; review them with your lab when material moves.

Plant ID prints the CVR code, for example CVR-023.
Abbreviation prints the saved short code, for example GG4. If a cultivar has no abbreviation, its sticker safely falls back to the CVR code.
The queue keeps the Plant ID underneath for traceability.
