Destroying Plant Batches in Hashio

Before you begin:  In Hashio, a plant batch is a group of clones or untagged plants. Destroying a plant batch in Hashio will record the waste and push the destruction to Metrc. This action cannot be undone, so double-check your counts before confirming.

What Is Destroying a Plant Batch?

Destroying a plant batch is how you record waste for clones or untagged plants in Hashio. When you destroy a batch, Hashio captures the count, waste weight, reason, and waste method, and then sends the destruction to Metrc for you. You can destroy part of a batch or the whole batch in one step, and you can destroy several batches at once from the Plant Batches page.

When To Use This

Use this workflow any time you need to remove clones or untagged plants from inventory — for example, when clones fail to root, when plants are culled for health reasons, or when you are cleaning up a batch that did not make it to transplant.


Step 1  Open the Plant Batches page
  1. From the left sidebar, click Cultivation.
  2. Click Plants.
  3. At the top of the page, click the Plant Batches tab.

You will see a list of all active plant batches for your license, with columns for Name, Strain, Counts, Location, Planted date, Age, and License.

Step 2  Find the plant batches you want to destroy
  1. Make sure the Active tab is selected so you are looking at live batches.
  2. Type all or part of a batch name in the Name field to search, or click Filters to narrow the list.
  3. Click the magnifying glass icon to run the search.

Filters include Plant Batch Type, Location, Strain, License, and Attribute. Use these to quickly find the batches you want.

Step 3  Select the batches and click Destroy
  1. Check the box to the left of each plant batch you want to destroy. To select every batch on the page, use the Select All checkbox at the top of the list.
  2. Once at least one batch is selected, the Destroy button in the top-right becomes active and shows a count of selected batches.
  3. Click Destroy.

You can destroy a single batch or many at once. The number on the Destroy button tells you how many batches will be included.

Step 4  Fill out the General Destruction Information

On the Destroy Plant Batches page, complete every field in the General Destruction Information section. These values apply to all batches included in this destruction.

  1. License — select the license the destruction is being recorded under.
  2. Waste Method — choose how the waste is being handled.
  3. Waste Material — confirm the material used for destruction.
  4. Unit of Measure — select the unit for the waste weight (for example, Grams, Pounds).
  5. Reason — choose the destruction reason from the dropdown.
  6. Destruction Date — defaults to today. Update it if the destruction happened on a different day.
  7. Reason Note — add any extra detail to explain the destruction. Some states require this note; enter it even if yours does not to keep a clear record.

The Waste Method, Waste Material, and Reason dropdowns are pulled directly from your Metrc account, so the options you see here match what is set up in Metrc.

Step 5  Record the count and waste weight for each batch

Scroll to the Plant Batches to Destroy section at the bottom of the page. Each selected batch has its own row with its current Tracked and Untracked counts.

  1. In the Count field, enter how many plants from that batch you are destroying. The full batch count is pre-filled — lower the number if you are only destroying part of the batch.
  2. In the Waste Weight field, enter the total weight of the waste for that batch, using the Unit of Measure you selected above.
  3. Repeat for each batch in the list.

Every batch needs a count and a waste weight before you can continue. Leaving waste weight as 0 is fine if your state and waste method allow it.

Step 6  Confirm and push the destruction to Metrc
  1. Review the General Destruction Information and each batch row one more time.
  2. Click the red Destroy Plant Batches button in the bottom-right.
  3. A confirmation window will appear with the message: "This will destroy plants from the selected plant batches in Metrc. This action cannot be undone. Proceed?"
  4. Click OK to push the destruction to Metrc, or Cancel to go back and make changes.

Once you click OK, Hashio records the waste and sends the destruction to Metrc. The destroyed count will appear under Destroyed on the batch row, and fully destroyed batches will move to the Inactive tab.

Tip:  Always double-check the Count and Waste Weight values before confirming. Because the destruction pushes to Metrc and cannot be undone, catching a typo before you click OK saves a call to support and a correction in Metrc.

That's it — your plant batch destruction is recorded in Hashio and synced to Metrc. If you need to review past destructions, open the Inactive or All tabs on the Plant Batches page to see batches that are no longer active.
