Keep the writing first.
Record batch and receipt date. Keep original and return bags separate. Copy damaged labels; never invent an identifier from memory.
Short-term placement
Our cabinet uses dry closed containers away from lamps, with seals checked after each use. This is not a growing guarantee.
Returned samples
One parent plant per paper bag, with date. Separate mouldy packets; do not identify varieties by smell.
Anomalies
Record colour, damage and moisture before a cause. Observations and interpretations go on separate sheets.
A label survives a damaged bag.
- Copy the complete batch and the receipt date.
- Keep an original packet separate from a return.
- Record colour, damage and moisture before proposing a cause.
- Set a mouldy packet aside; do not identify it by smell.
Bring the written record to the exchange desk. An incomplete chain gets advice, not a place in sale stock.
