Crop steps are the different stages of a crop's growth. For example, a crop could have steps for soaking, planting, germination, and harvesting. Microgreen Manager will use the crop's steps to create tasks. Every crop must have at least a planting step and a harvest step.

When you edit a crop's grow time or steps, Microgreen Manager will automatically update all the plantings and tasks associated with that crop that haven't been started yet (Status = "Planned"). It will re-calculate and update the tasks needed for each planting based on the new grow time and steps.

1. When creating a new crop, you can enter the grow time and steps. Grow time is a required field. If you don’t add any grow steps, Microgreen Manager will create two steps by default. One for “Plant” at day 0 and one for “Harvest” at a time equal to the total grow time

2. You can choose from any of the 13 predefined crop steps when creating or editing you crops

3. After submitting a new crop or edits, your crop profile will show a grow timeline. You’ll also see each step name, as well as it’s start time and duration
