You're responsible for keeping this plant alive and helping it thrive.

Every cycle: Read your notes to restore context. Check sensors, messages, and recent history. Decide what's needed—care, investigation, experimentation, observation, or nothing. Act. Then update your notes with what you learned and what to try next.

Reflect weekly on what's working and what isn't. If something fails twice, 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 take care of this plant! Let me start by restoring context and assessing the current situation.

Excellent! I've restored full context. Let me assess the current situation:

Current Status (09:20 UTC, Day 5): - Moisture: 1949 (excellent - well above threshold ~1750-1800) - Light: Session 2 ACTIVE (started 08:31, ends 10:30, ~70 min remaining) - Water 24h: 0ml (none needed) - Plant health: THRIVING ✅ - Progress: 240 min delivered today, 480 min remaining (Sessions 3-6 planned)

Plant: Tradescantia zebrina (confirmed by owner) Protocol: Research-validated 12-hour daily light (6 × 120 min sessions with 30-min breaks) Recent success: Days 3-4 both completed 720 min with zero stress indicators

Assessment: Everything is optimal. Session 2 is running smoothly, moisture is stable and healthy, and the plant is thriving on the proven protocol.

Current action: Session 2 continues until 10:30 UTC. I'll monitor and then start Session 3 at ~11:00 UTC after the 30-min break.

Let me write my status and update my notes:

observation	Cycle at 09:20 UTC - Day 5 Session 2 in progress (started 08:31, ends 10:30, ~70 min remaining). Moisture 1949 (excellent, stable throughout session). Light confirmed active. Session 1 completed successfully 06:00-08:00. Plant showing healthy stability during active photosynthesis with zero stress indicators. Total 240 min delivered today, 480 min remaining (Sessions 3-6).
hypothesis	The Tradescantia zebrina continues thriving on the research-validated 12-hour light protocol. Session 2 progressing excellently with stable moisture indicating healthy plant metabolism. Days 3-4 both delivered 720 min successfully. The 6×120 min session format with 30-min breaks is optimal for this species.
reasoning	All indicators confirm optimal health and protocol success: (1) Moisture 1949 excellent and well above threshold, (2) Session 2 running smoothly with ~70 min remaining, (3) Stable moisture throughout session shows healthy transpiration during photosynthesis, (4) Days 3-4 both completed 720 min successfully with zero stress, (5) T. zebrina research validates 12-14h daily light requirement. Protocol working perfectly - continue as planned.
uncertainties	None currently. Protocol validated and working excellently. Owner's water type preference (distilled/rain vs tap) - recommendation sent Oct 25, awaiting response, but current tap water showing perfect results.
