Is the Greg app confused, or is it just me who is confuse...

Just curious why the Greg app is suggesting different watering regimes for these plants?
I have three baby Lace Aloes, and as you can see from the screenshots, the only difference is one is placed closer to the window.. yet that plant supposedly needs watering less? (Says every 14 days for the two slightly further away, and every 22 days for the one right in the window)
I would have thought it would be the other way around if anything?
@UnbeatenSoybean πŸ˜‚ I would say, the aloe located closer to the window would need more water than the ones farther away from the window..πŸ˜…
I think the algorithm for watering is still pretty rudimentary. I have around 155 plants, so I use it more as a reminder to check on different plants. After using it consistently for over a year, it’s starting to get better at predicting when I should actually water- maybe about 60% accuracy?
@luvmygreenhouse I'm glad I'm not alone in finding this backwards.. im still relatively new to plant care so i was doubting my logic πŸ˜…
@MamaLinne yes i mainly got the app so i could keep track of when i water, but i was just thrown off by how different the suggested watering intervals were for the same plants in almost identical conditions πŸ˜… i felt like i was not seeing something obvious as I'm pretty tired today.

Hopefully my watering algorithm will also rectify itself some over time πŸ˜ƒ
@UnbeatenSoybean it does all kinds of weird things that make me πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ˜‚! Lol!
