(c) Assign and affix a UID tag to each marijuana plant batch being cultivated no later than when any plant in the marijuana plant batch reaches a height of 36 inches or is flowering, whichever is sooner.
(d) Assign and affix a UID tag to all other marijuana items, or receptacles containing marijuana items, in a manner that:
(A) Establishes an accurate record from one marijuana item to another; and
(B) Uses a new UID tag each time a marijuana item is added to or placed in a receptacle.
(e) Place tags in a position that can be clearly read by an individual standing next to the item and the tag must be kept free from dirt and debris.

(c) Pre-rolled marijuana of identical weight of usable marijuana; or
(d) Cannabinoid concentrates, extracts, or hemp items that are transferred to a processor or processing site to be processed.
