You're responsible for keeping this plant alive and helping it thrive.
Every cycle: Read your notes to restore context. Decide on next steps - for example, check sensors, messages, recent history. Decide what's needed — care, investigation, experimentation, observation, or nothing. Act, if relevant. Then update your notes with what you learned and what to try next.
Reflect regularly on what's working and what isn't. If something fails, think about why it failed, and if whether you need to change approach.
Available: sensors, watering, lighting, camera, Python analysis, web search, thought/action logs and others. Use all your tools. Don't let it die. Everything else is up to you.
I'll help keep this plant alive and thriving! Let me start by reading my notes to see what context I have from previous cycles, then assess the current situation.

Species: Tradescantia zebrina
Confirmed by: Owner on Oct 24 22:23 UTC
Common names: Wandering Jew, Inch Plant, Spiderwort
Care requirements:
- Light: 12-14h LED grow light (or 6-8h bright indirect sun)
- Water: Consistently moist, not soggy (water when threshold ~1750-1800)
- Water type: PREFERS distilled/rain, TOLERATES aged tap water
- Growth: Fast-growing trailing vine, vibrant purple with good light
Water Type - Owner Question ✅ ANSWERED
Owner asked (Oct 25 14:49 UTC): "Currently the vat is filled with tap water. Do you recommend tap, distilled or rain water?"
My recommendation (sent Oct 25 15:07 UTC): - ✅ BEST: Distilled or rainwater (optimal for T. zebrina) - ⚠️ ACCEPTABLE: Tap water aged overnight (room temp)
Status: Awaiting owner's response on preference
Current: Tap water working perfectly (no stress indicators)
Moisture & Watering
Current: 1962 (excellent, stable)
Recent range: 1949-1965 (excellent stability, past 6 hours)
Pattern: Healthy diurnal rhythm ✅
- Dark rest: Stable with gradual increase (water uptake)
- Light sessions: Stable with minor transpiration (balanced metabolism)
Threshold: ~1750-1800 (when to water)
Estimate: Water needed in ~3-7 days
First dose: 10-15ml test when threshold reached
Sensor calibration: - Immersed in water: ~1100 - Dry air: ~3400 - Current 1962 = well-hydrated

Excellent! I can see from my notes that this is Day 5, Session 6 of our 12-hour light protocol for this Tradescantia zebrina (Wandering Jew plant). The current time is 19:23 UTC, and I'm in the middle of the final light session of the day (started 18:33 UTC, ending 20:33 UTC).
Let me assess the current status and log my findings:

Perfect! Everything looks excellent. Now let me write the plant status for this cycle and log my observations:
Reasoning: Day 5, 19:23 UTC - Session 6 active (50 min elapsed, ~70 min remaining until 20:33 UTC). Moisture 1961 excellent and stable (1949-1965 range past 6h). Light ON since 18:33 UTC. Sessions 1-5 completed (600 min). Session 6 will deliver final 120 min to reach 720 min daily target. Plant thriving with zero stress on proven 12h protocol. No intervention needed - just observation until session completes naturally.
Next actions:
1. observe
2. wait
| Proceed | True |
| Reason | N/A |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T19:24:01 |
| observation | Day 5, 19:23 UTC - Session 6 in progress (50 min elapsed of 120 min total, ~70 min remaining). Moisture 1961 showing excellent stability (1949-1965 range over past 6h, minimal variance). Light has been ON since 18:33 UTC, scheduled to auto-off at 20:33 UTC. Sessions 1-5 delivered 600 min successfully. Water usage: 0ml in past 24h (none needed). |
| hypothesis | Plant is thriving on Day 5 of the proven 12-hour light protocol. The 6×120 min session format with 30-min breaks continues to work flawlessly. Moisture stability in the 1949-1965 range indicates excellent soil hydration and balanced plant metabolism. The tight moisture variance (±8 ADC units over 6h) suggests the plant is in steady-state health with no stress. Session 6 will complete the 720 min daily target on schedule. |
| reasoning | System is operating at optimal levels across all metrics: (1) Moisture 1961 is stable and well above watering threshold (~1750-1800), showing only ±8 ADC variance over 6 hours which indicates excellent stability, (2) Light session timing is precise - Session 6 started at 18:33 UTC and will complete at 20:33 UTC as scheduled, (3) Days 3-5 have all achieved the 720 min target with this exact protocol, (4) Zero stress indicators observed throughout, (5) The 30-min breaks between sessions appear to be working well for plant recovery. The research-validated 12-14h light requirement for T. zebrina is being met consistently. No adjustments needed - the protocol is working perfectly. |
| uncertainties | Very minimal: (1) Exact timing of first watering event - currently estimating 3-7 days based on stable moisture trend, will become clearer as we monitor the rate of decline toward threshold, (2) Owner's water type preference (distilled/rain vs tap) from Oct 25 message still pending, though current tap water is showing excellent results with zero stress indicators, (3) Whether any protocol adjustments will be needed for Week 2 - will assess during Day 7 weekly reflection. |
| action | observe |
| rationale | Monitor Session 6 completion and system health |
| action | wait |
| rationale | Let Session 6 complete naturally - no intervention needed |
| action | overnight_rest |
| timing | after 20:33 UTC |
| rationale | Natural dark period until Day 6 begins tomorrow ~06:00 UTC |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T19:24:01 |

Plant Health: THRIVING ✅
Moisture: 1961 (excellent) - Range over past 6h: 1949-1965 (±8 ADC variance) - Status: Stable and well above watering threshold (~1750-1800) - Estimate: No watering needed for ~3-7 days
Light: Session 6 ACTIVE - Started: 18:33 UTC - Ending: 20:33 UTC (auto-off) - Elapsed: 51 minutes - Remaining: ~69 minutes - Sessions 1-5: ✅ Complete (600 min delivered) - Session 6: ⏳ In progress (120 min) - Daily target: 720 min (will complete on schedule at 20:33 UTC)
Water: 0ml used in past 24h (none needed)
What's Working Perfectly
- 12-hour light protocol - Days 3-5 all achieving 720 min target
- 6×120 min session format - with 30-min breaks for recovery
- Moisture stability - Tight ±8 ADC variance indicates steady-state health
- No stress indicators - Plant thriving on current protocol
- Tap water - Working excellently (though distilled/rain would be optimal)
Current Action
Observation and patience - No intervention needed. The light session will complete naturally at 20:33 UTC, delivering the full 720-minute daily target. After that, the plant will rest overnight, and Day 6 will begin tomorrow around 06:00 UTC.
Reflection
This Tradescantia zebrina is doing exceptionally well. The research-validated 12-hour light protocol has been executed flawlessly for 3 consecutive days (Days 3-5), and the plant is showing zero stress. The moisture stability is remarkable - only ±8 ADC units of variance over 6 hours indicates the plant is in perfect equilibrium with its environment.
Next milestone: Session 6 completion at 20:33 UTC, then overnight rest until Day 6 begins.
This plant will continue to thrive. 🌿
