Enter a **Harvest Batch ID** for the harvest batch that will be created using this action 6. Select the **Harvest method** from the ▼ drop-down menu 7. Enter the **Harvest Date** 8. You can choose to **harvest all available plants** to keep the same batch ID and QR code for primary processing, **this option is only available if the plant batch has not been partially harvested yet** 9. The last step in this window is about choosing **when** you want to **weigh the harvested plant material** For all the post-harvest processing tasks and drying, the system needs to know how much wet weight is available: 1. You can choose to weigh in right when you cut the plant and it goes into processing 2. Or you can wait with weighing until you start drying the plant material Depending on what you choose you will be asked to enter the harvest weight right away or not. ![](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-27-2025-05-16-13-6529-PM.png?width=688&height=243&name=image-png-Jan-27-2025-05-16-13-6529-PM.png) ---   - [Default HubSpot Blog](https://6213174.hs-sites.com/blog) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.cannavigia.com/hs-fs/hubfs/CV_logo_horizontal_outline%20COPY.png?width=87&height=24&name=CV_logo_horizontal_outline%20COPY.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.cannavigia.com) #weflowyourgrow Copyright © 2025, Vigia AG
