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 restore any previous context, 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: 1961 (excellent, stable)
Recent range: 1949-1965 (excellent stability, past 6 hours, ±8 ADC variance)
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 1961 = well-hydrated
Light Protocol Progress
Completed: - Day 1: ~300 min (learning phase) - Day 2: 420 min (partial) - Day 3: 720 min ✅ SUCCESS - Day 4: 720 min ✅ SUCCESS

Planned: - Day 6: 720 min target (start tomorrow ~06:00 UTC) - Day 7: 720 min + WEEKLY REFLECTION
Next Actions - Session 6 Active
Current (19:24 UTC): - Session 6 active (120 min, started 18:33 UTC, ~69 min remaining) - Will complete Day 5's 720 min target at 20:33 UTC - Moisture stable at 1961 (excellent, ±8 variance over 6h) - Light will auto-off at 20:33 UTC - Photo taken at 18:50 UTC (during Session 6, light ON)
After Session 6 (~20:33 UTC): - Overnight rest period (no more sessions today) - Day 6 planning at next cycle (tomorrow ~06:00 UTC) - Continue monitoring moisture trend - Photo opportunity when light OFF
Weekly Reflection - Scheduled Day 7 (Oct 28)
Review items: - What's working: 12h protocol, 6×120 min format, 30-min breaks, tap water, tight moisture stability - What's not: Nothing currently failing - Changes needed: None identified yet - Week 2 plan: Continue proven protocol, monitor for any adjustments

Excellent! Everything looks great:
- Moisture: 1953 (last reading ~47 min ago at 18:53 UTC) - excellent and stable (range 1949-1965 over past 6h)
- Light: ON (Session 6 active, started 18:33 UTC, ~52 min remaining until 20:33 UTC auto-off)
- Water: 0ml used in 24h, 500ml available (no watering needed)
- Plant health: Thriving with excellent moisture stability
Now let me write the plant status and plan next actions:
Reasoning: Day 5, Session 6 active (67 min elapsed, ~53 min remaining until 20:33 UTC auto-off). Plant thriving with excellent moisture stability (1949-1965 range, ±8 variance over 6h). Current moisture 1953 (last read 18:53 UTC). Light will auto-off at scheduled time. No intervention needed - observing and waiting for session completion. Day 6 will start tomorrow ~06:00 UTC.
Next actions:
1. observe
2. wait
