Jars, rounds and a line's progress
A line moves in rounds. The start is round 0; each subculture is the next round, SC#1, SC#2… Every container in a round is a jar with its own record and label.
Pro plan
- Line progress shows each stage reached and its date, the stage it's in now and which day of it, and the stages ahead.
- Jar numbers follow the jar they came from: cut jar 3 into three and the new jars are 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3.
- Jars are coloured by state: on the shelf, cut from (→), contaminated (✗) or discarded (–).
- Click a jar for what can be done with it. Print round and Print labels label a round or the whole shelf.
Trace to the mother plant on any jar follows it back, round by round, to the plant the line started from.
Stage and status
Stage is where the line is in its work: initiation, establishment, multiplication, rooting, acclimatization. Status is its condition: active, paused, contaminated, failed, completed or discarded.
Good to know: When the last jar on a line's shelf is marked contaminated or discarded, the line ends by itself: its status follows the jars, its stage becomes failed, and its chores stop. Put a jar back and it revives.
