# Cutting Clones

## How to Cut and Register Clones in Cannavigia for Accurate Plant Tracking and Full Traceability

Cuttings, often referred to as clones, are segments removed from a healthy mother plant to propagate new, genetically identical plants. Once placed in a suitable growing medium, they begin to develop roots and establish themselves as independent specimens. Taking cuttings is a key practice in cannabis cultivation, particularly when preserving the genetics of mother plants.

In this guide, we’ll show you how to properly take and register them using the Cannavigia system. Following these steps ensures full traceability and supports compliance with GxP standards throughout your cultivation process.

![](https://info.cannavigia.com/__theme/images/common/info-macro-icon--39985156a8a940b9a79d.svg) **Notes:**

Cuttings can only be taken from a plant batch when the plants are in the vegetative growth phase.

Tasks, Projects and areas must be created beforehand.

Take Cuttings From Untagged Plant Batches

Follow these steps to take cuttings from a plant batch that is not single-tagged:

1. Locate and open the plant batch from where do you want to take cuttings
2. Click on **Actions**  
   **![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20142738-png.png?width=670&height=73&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20142738-png.png)**
3. Click on **Take Cuttings**  
   **![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20142852-png.png?width=670&height=670&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20142852-png.png)**
4. The *Take Cuttings* dialog box opens
5. Choose whether you would like to *Create new Plant Batch* or *Add to existing Plant Batch*
   
   ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20143044-png.png?width=670&height=148&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20143044-png.png)
6. To **Create a new Plant Batch:**
   
     1. You need to fill the mandatory information *Amount*; *Name* (pre-filled according to the abbreviation set for the cultivar plus the date of the action - you can also change it); *Area* and *Project*
     2. Optionally, you can also add a Task previously created
     3. The *Cultivation and Irrigation Methods*, plus the *Estimated Duration of Phases* will appear accordingly to what was set for the cultivar, but also here you can change it
     4. You can decide whether to designate them as Mother Plants and tag them now or later; however, please be aware that once a batch is tagged, this decision cannot be undone
     5. Click the green **Save** button to confirm your action  
        ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20144543-png.png?width=670&height=571&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20144543-png.png)
7. If you chose**Add to the existing plant batch:**
   
     1. You only need to enter the *Amount,* select *the Project* and *plant batch name*
     2. By automation, the system will pre-fill the amount and project that was used and Plant Batch that was created in the last step
     3. Only plant batches with **matching cultivars** and **identical origins** can be selected as receiving plant batch
     4. Click the green **Save** button to confirm your action

### Take Cuttings From Tagged Plant Batches

Follow these steps to take cuttings from a plant batch that is single-tagged:

1. Locate and open the plant batch from where do you want ot take cuttings
2. In the *Batch overview*, click on the green highlighted number of plants in the ***Plants*** field
   
   ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20154938-png-1.png?width=670&height=61&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20154938-png-1.png)
3. A numbered overview of all plants in this batch opens up and you can search in the list for the plant to be cloned by using its corresponding ID
4. Click on the button next to it relative to **Take cuttings**  
   **![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20155231-png.png?width=670&height=168&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20155231-png.png)**
5. From this point you can chose to Create a new Plant Batch or Add to existing Plant batch, please note that this time you are taking cuttings from one specific plant, and not from the entire batch

7. If you chose**Add to the existing plant batch:**
   
     1. Locate a different plant and take cuttings from there to add to the existing Plant Batch created before
     2. Notice that you can see how many cluttings/clones were taken from each plant  
        ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20160248-png.png?width=670&height=118&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20160248-png.png)

### Traceability

To see the traceability for the new cuttings, follow these steps:

- **In the batch where the cuttings were taken from**, you can open the batch and navigate to the *Traceability* tab 
    - From untagged Plant Batch  
      ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20165055-png.png?width=670&height=184&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20165055-png.png)
    - From tagged Plant Batch  
      ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20164931-png.png?width=670&height=315&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20164931-png.png)

You can also open each individual plant to see how many clones were taken:

1. 1. 1. Navigate to the *Plant View* and click on the green highlighted number to open a specific plant by clicking on its name  
               ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20172230-png.png?width=670&height=118&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20172230-png.png)
            2. Open the *Clones Taken* tab to see the list of all clones taken from that specific plant and their respective new batch  
               ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20172319-png.png?width=670&height=229&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20172319-png.png)

- **In the new batch where the cuttings were taken to**, you can also open the batch and navigate to the *Traceability* tab

- - From untagged Plant Batch  
      ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20171730-png.png?width=670&height=183&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20171730-png.png)
    - From tagged Plant Batch  
      ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20171610-png.png?width=670&height=246&name=Captura%20de%20ecr%C3%A3%202025-06-16%20171610-png.png)
