Is there a way of saying to this app that you are going to be away for a bit and it then adjusted the plan automatically to account for it?

Not that I know of so I just skipped everything while I was away.

I don’t know how it would adjust for it because they still need to be watered. I recently was gone for over two weeks. I tried watering a few plants early. When I came home, I just started checking plants that were the latest. It took me three days to get caught up. I ended up losing 12 plants. While away I would mark off “cleaning” tasks. I turned off grow lights on my tropicals and reduced the lighting on my succulents. The 12 I lost were tropicals in soil. Some of my favorite plants-calatheas and Birkins. Semi hydro tropicals were fine.

Exactly. It will know how to help them prepare properly and recover properly without killing them. It’s a pattern so can be an algorithm
