Your garden,
one good round.

No plateau-confirmed watering candidates. Six weigh-ins remain, with G3 and H3 Check-only. Owner clarifications resolve H1 and reduce the photo follow-ups; likely shipping/store marks and #2’s surface differences stay as comparison baselines.

Today's quick list
Water candidates have a confirmed plateau; water only if your usual moisture/readiness check confirms they are ready. Dry-reference-only pots stay out of the Water list.
No watering candidates with a confirmed plateau today.

Readings that resolve a missing reference or help with the next care decision.
#3P21Money tree (Pachira cf. glabra)Priority weigh-ins—g/day
Take the missing post-water weight today using the same pot assembly and an empty saucer. The shown 1,529 g is a PRE-WATER reading from September 13 at 7:13 p.m.; watering followed at 7:14 p.m. It does not describe the current moisture state. Also inspect the small pale leaflet marks and compare downward leaf angle at a similar time of day. The image does not establish thirst or light injury.

No eligible weight follows the latest Water event, so a current-cycle change and plateau are unavailable. A reading now is a delayed recovery reference, not an immediate post-drain weight. The confirmed north-windowsill move does not reset the setup or prove thirst; leaf angle alone is not a watering decision. Check the upper 2 inches of mix if assessing readiness.

- Light-green upper leaflets hang downward above darker lower leaves on the windowsill.

- Not yet supported
334 g is 2 g below the historical reference, but the four-point tail 351, 342, 334.5 and 334 g does not support a plateau. The latest -0.58 g/day interval alone is insufficient. Wrinkled old leaves or a dry pot alone do not settle this plant's watering decision. Two photographs now support the owner-reported emerging inner pair; visible outer volume is not a firmness measurement. All displayed weights precede the September 16 drainage-hole modification. Material loss was not measured; any later interval spanning that change may combine an assembly/medium mass step with drying. The old reference and forecast need cautious forward comparison, not an automatic setup reset.

The last two observations are only 2 minutes 47.191 seconds apart (0.001935 days): 426 to 425.5 g. Their displayed -258.39 g/day is arithmetic over that very short interval, not an established daily drying rate. All three current-cycle weights span less than 12 hours, so plateau evidence is unavailable. All displayed weights precede the September 16 drainage-hole modification.

Retain that timing when comparing wet references; do not use an earlier pre-water point. All displayed weights precede the September 16 drainage-hole modification. Material loss was not measured; any later interval spanning that change may combine an assembly/medium mass step with drying.

No additional watering or weighing is requested today. The recent post-water reading provides early-cycle context. Today’s wider drainage opening makes the old forecast provisional; use the next otherwise-useful reading to begin a post-modification comparison, rather than assume an unchanged future drying window.

A second look at the evidence
🤖 AI recommendation
A separate assessment of this report's data. Any difference from the main list is explained below.
💧 I would add no watering or fertilizer. The recorded curves have no confirmed plateau, H1–H3 were watered overnight, and neither the photos nor the new drainage openings establish dryness. There is no supported AI watering exception.
⏳ I would hold G3: the detail photo supports an emerging inner pair while outer leaves retain volume. I would check inner-leaf firmness and compare old-leaf shrinkage before any watering decision; the reached weight reference alone is insufficient.
👀 I would accept the owner’s identification of H1’s white material as perlite and their normal assessment of H2, with no further photo check for those details. H3’s fine strands still have a separate unresolved close-up check.
👀 I would keep the tan marks as a dated baseline under the owner’s likely shipping/store damage explanation, without a separate C1/F2 inspection today. I also withdraw the extra #2 inspection: its visible lower-leaf surface differences do not establish an active problem. I would still compare #3’s pale leaflet marks and leaf angle during its useful weighing session.
⚖️ I would still weigh #3 first, then #5/#6 and #4 this evening, fitting #1/#2 around that session. Those six were not in the hole-modification group; their existing measurement needs remain. Photos do not replace their weights.
⚖️ I would not add a 24-pot weighing round for the new holes alone. At each affected pot’s next useful reading, I would treat a step down as potentially mixed material loss and drying, then use later time-spaced evidence when needed. I would not invent a lost mass or reset setups from an Other note.
