Your garden,
one good round.
Thursday, Sep 17, 2026
No plateau-confirmed watering today. Reweigh #4 and #6 this evening; G1/G2 can wait until September 18. Check G3’s leaf cycle, H3’s strands and #3’s upper mix/photo follow-up. Last night’s weights and the owner’s photo clarifications are included.

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.

Priority weigh-ins 2
Readings that resolve a missing reference or help with the next care decision.
#4P22Kiwi aeoniumPriority weigh-ins0.00g/day
Weigh once this evening, roughly 8 p.m. or later, after a useful gap from last night’s 11:56 p.m. reading. At 992 g it is just 0.5 g above the corrected 991.5 g reference, but the multi-day curve is still declining. Hold watering under the main plateau rule. At the same session, assess whether much of the mix is dry and whether the rosettes are active or resting; the photograph does not settle that.

The final 992 → 992 g pair spans only 8.66 minutes (0.00601 days) after normalization, not a drying plateau. The useful preceding interval is 1,001.5 → 992 g over 1.30 days (−7.28 g/day); the selected four-point tail loses 5.67 g/day versus 16.40 earlier. Historical weights already include +150.5 g of confirmed dry dressing; future scale values need no further offset.

#4 · Plant view · September 16
- Green-cream rosettes have pink-red margins and folded central leaves; outer leaves spread outward.
- No broad crisp tan patch or generalized collapse is apparent on the exposed foliage.
- Comparison: retain this angle to follow rosette openness, color and leaf loss.

#6P30Tiny mixed succulent planter (component taxa unresolved)Priority weigh-ins−0.89g/day
Take one time-spaced reading this evening, roughly 8 p.m. or later, rather than repeating last night’s weight this morning. This is the strongest recent flattening candidate, but it has not met the sustained-plateau test. Hold watering for now; during that session assess the shared root volume, drainage and all components. Treat the whole container as one pot.

The latest 406 → 402.5 g interval lost 3.5 g over 3.93 days (−0.89 g/day). The previous interval was about −1.20 g/day, so several days of slower loss are present. Nevertheless, the selected four-point tail still has a 22.5 g spread and loses 2.35 g/day versus 11.41 earlier; the shared detector does not confirm a plateau. No completed dry reference is available.

G3P28Royal Flush split rockCheck only−0.58g/day
Check only: assess the emerging inner leaves gently for firmness and compare whether the older outer leaves are shrinking. September 16 photos support the emerging pair and show outer leaves retaining volume, but do not measure firmness. Hold watering and feeding; do not reweigh merely to chase the old reference or force a plateau.

This September 15 weight precedes the drainage-opening modification. Leaf-cycle evidence controls the care decision.

No insect or mite is resolved in the dated photo; ordinary silk or debris remains possible. No treatment, watering or repeat weight is requested.

Check the upper roughly 2 inches of mix and compare the September 16 leaflet angle and small pale marks in person. Do not treat the whole pot as a cactus or diagnose thirst from leaf angle alone. The missing weight has been supplied, so no repeat weigh-in or watering is requested today; a time-spaced weight September 18 evening can begin a real post-adjustment trend.

The last two normalized readings are both 1,746 g, only 11.62 minutes apart (0.00807 days). Their 0.00 g/day arithmetic reflects the dry-stone adjustment, not a measured drying plateau. Earlier weights already include the confirmed +108 g; do not add it again. The recovered wet reference was measured about 3.19 days after watering, not immediately after drainage.

Last night’s 4,189 g reading satisfies the previous weighing request. No repeat weight or watering today; it is still 497 g above the completed reference.

Last night’s 1,729 g weight resolves the prior request. No watering, repeat weighing or special health inspection today.

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 water none from the evidence available today. No current curve confirms a plateau, and the dated photos do not justify an earlier watering exception. I would add no fertilizer.
⚖️ I would prioritize #4 and #6 this evening: #4 is only 0.5 g above its normalized reference but is still losing mass; #6 has two slow recent intervals, yet its full tail remains too spread out for a confirmed plateau.
⚖️ I would skip repeat weighing for the newly measured A1, #1, #2, #3 and #5 today. G1 and G2 can wait until September 18 evening for their next sample, ahead of their September 19 historical windows.
👀 I would check #3’s upper mix and compare the photographed pale marks, without equating downward leaf angle with thirst. Its identical normalized readings were only about 12 minutes apart, so they say nothing about day-long drying.
👀 I would keep G3 in leaf-cycle care and inspect H3’s strands once before assigning a cause. H1’s perlite and H2’s normal condition are resolved; the likely shipping/store marks and #2’s surface differences remain comparison baselines.
