Change watering suggested by Greg?

One of my plants isn't getting enough water if I just follow Greg's advice (I set it up completely, adding all the details). I ended up having to add a reminder on a different app, and ignore Greg's notifications entirely... is there a way to manually change the frequency or amount of water that Greg will track?

The more u log things, the more it will adjust. I have a few i hafta water more oftem due to heater on. Just make sure to hit 'water' wen u do. It just recently adjusted one of them an suggests more often now. Same works if u dnt need water yet, just hit snooze. Winter throws plant schedules all wonky too.
Hi Robin!

The watering reminders on Greg change in response to your input… in other words, you have to help Greg learn your watering reminder needs (at least at first)!

Greg’s smart watering reminders are powered by a learning algorithm that uses your input to adjust future reminders. Pretty cool, right?

That’s why it’s important to “teach” Greg about new plants, so that the watering recommendations will get even more accurate over time!

Need to water SOONER than Greg recommends?
✨ Go under the plant profile under your Oasis, and tap on ‘Water’ to mark it watered ✨

Need to tell Greg that a plant DOESN’T need water?
✨ On your schedule tab that lists all of the plants you should water today, slide a plant to the left to ‘Snooze’ that plant’s watering recommendation ✨

Consistently tapping ‘Water’ earlier and/or sliding to ‘Snooze’ will teach Greg to adjust the algorithm’s watering recommendations for you in the future! You’ll notice that the longer you use Greg, the more precise these recommendations will become.
ohhhhhh
thanks everyone
I feel like there should still be an option to manually adjust the watering schedule or amount! Clearly if I'm using an app like Greg, it's in part because I can't be trusted to remember when to water my plants and need notifications to remind me. If I manage to remember to do it earlier than Greg suggests (either by training my brain cell or using another app) then Greg isn't that useful anymore, even if I can get it to learn this updated schedule...

If any dev reads this, please consider it!
I’ve been trying this for three months. I log the water when I do it. It will still show watered 9?days ago in the schedule.
