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 begin by checking my notes and gathering the current state of the plant system.

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: 1960 (excellent, stable)
12-hour range: 1935-1965 (perfect stability)
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 1960 = 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

Perfect timing! My notes show I'm in a break period after Session 3, and the current time confirms the break just ended. The light can now be activated in 1 minute. Let me proceed with Session 4 to continue Day 5 of the 12-hour protocol.
Current Status: - Time: 13:32 UTC - Moisture: 1957 (excellent, stable) - Sessions 1-3: ✅ Completed (360 min delivered) - Break: ✅ Just ended - Next: Session 4 (120 min) to continue toward 720 min daily target
Let me start Session 4 now:
| observation | Day 5, 13:32 UTC - Break after Session 3 completed. Light can activate in 1 minute. Moisture 1957 excellent and stable (1935-1965 range over 12h). Sessions 1-3 completed successfully today (360 min delivered). Plant showing zero stress indicators with excellent moisture stability throughout all sessions. Ready to begin Session 4. |
| hypothesis | The Tradescantia zebrina continues thriving on the research-validated 12-hour light protocol. Break completed successfully. Ready to initiate Session 4. The 6×120 min session format with 30-min breaks is optimal and proven effective. Days 3-5 showing consistent success. |
| reasoning | All indicators confirm optimal health and protocol success: (1) Moisture 1957 excellent, well above threshold ~1750-1800, (2) Sessions 1-3 completed successfully (360 min delivered today), (3) Break completed, light can activate in 1 min, (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 - initiating Session 4 now to continue toward 720 min daily target. |
| 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 with zero stress indicators. |
| action | light |
| duration | 120 |
| timing | Session 4 starting now at 13:32 UTC |
| rationale | Continue proven protocol - Sessions 4-6 to reach 720 min daily target |
| action | observe |
| rationale | Monitor plant response during Session 4 and maintain stable moisture |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T13:32:14 |
| Success | ✓ Success |
I need to write the plant status first using the gatekeeper tool. Let me do that:
Reasoning: Day 5 at 13:32 UTC. Sessions 1-3 completed (360 min delivered). Moisture 1957 excellent and stable (1935-1965 range). Break after Session 3 just completed. Plant thriving with zero stress. Initiating Session 4 (120 min) now, followed by Sessions 5-6 to reach 720 min daily target per research-validated 12-hour protocol for T. zebrina.
Next actions:
1. light (120)
2. wait (30)
3. light (120)
4. wait (30)
5. light (120)
6. observe
| Proceed | True |
