Thanks, that sounds simple enough.. except I don't know what Irfanview is.. will I find that out when I'm messing around in Paint?

Irfanview can be said to be a better version of Paint. It's freeware and you can download a copy from http://www.irfanview.net/

Awesome chart!

Just one idea, when you take the pictures, double click on the plant before you do, and take a picture with the plant seed. I have a bunch of seeds, but have no idea what plant each seed produces.

OrangeCrush, you should remember that the same looking seed may produce different plants, but you may also want to check out my Seed Catalog in the Guides section.

I'll start doing that from now on.

You can actually do all of that within Paint.

Just do the Control + Print Screen
Paste into Paint
working with a single plant at a time, use the "rubber band" selection tool to outline the picture
Go Edit -> Copy To
name your picture

Paint allows you to save a small part of a larger image as a file, but strangely you don't access it from the File menu.

thanks for the file
but how to grow that magic plant
like which plant u cross polinated to get this plant

Thank you, Arnie, I'll download Irfanview and should be able to go to town with PT pics in my spreadsheets And I do like the idea of taking a pic of the seed with the plant, even though the seed type is not unique.

Thanks for the Paint instructions too, slh; I'll try that out.

Great work Onyxcougar, it will definately help many people.
looking forward to checking back to see the update.

I've included my breeding charts...still in progress....
