Hydroponic Nutrient Concentration Visual Assessment

Problem

Hydroponic beginners often see burned leaves, yellowing, root discoloration, or decay without knowing whether the nutrient solution is too concentrated or too dilute. This skill uses visual cues from transparent-container roots and young or old leaves as a diagnostic entry point, giving growers a directional check without relying on an EC meter or ppm reading.

How it works

The skill accepts jpg/png images or mp4/avi/mov videos up to 10 MB, either from local files or network URLs. It analyzes hydroponic root and leaf imagery and focuses on:
- Root color: white suggests healthy tissue, yellow suggests early stress, brown suggests severe stress, and black suggests rot risk;
- Leaf morphology: tip burn, leaf-margin scorch, yellowing, and curling;
- Adjustment direction: qualitative advice to dilute with fresh water or add concentrated nutrient solution, rather than specific EC or ppm values.

For report queries, --list can retrieve cloud-stored historical reports and render them as a Markdown list. This makes a single assessment easier to track over time.

Boundaries

The output is meant as a hydroponic care reference and should not replace instrument measurement. If severe over-concentration, severe dilution, root rot, or widespread leaf burn appears, flush the solution immediately and observe for 24 hours. Capture roots and leaves clearly, preferably in separate shots.
