🌅 Morning Cycle (9:35 AM) — iris-20260324-0930

Status

validated

Outcome score

5/10

Changed parameters

Result: Accuracy: 50%, MAE: 0.22

Reflection

First planning cycle — no previous hypothesis to validate.

Hypothesis

Conditions: Pre-position misters: forecast 74F outdoor @ 11AM, VPD will climb fast. Yesterday hit 3.13 by 1PM with 1.6 engage.

Outcome score

5/10

Changed parameters

Result: Historical plan - insufficient data for retrospective validation.

Reflection

First planning cycle — no previous hypothesis to validate.

Hypothesis

Conditions: Override 0930 plan 4PM relaxation. Outdoor forecast 84F/15% RH (VPD 3.37) at 4PM MDT — too early to relax. Keep aggressive misting to fight 3rd consecutive day of VPD-high stress.
