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 responsibility for keeping this plant alive and thriving. Let me start by reading my notes and assessing 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: 1952 (excellent, stable)
Recent range: 1949-1965 (excellent stability)
Pattern: Healthy diurnal rhythm ✅
- Dark rest: Stable with gradual increase (water uptake)

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 1952 = well-hydrated

Excellent! I can see the plant is thriving. Let me assess the current situation:
Current Status (15:29 UTC, Day 5): - Moisture: 1961 (excellent, stable - well above watering threshold of ~1750) - Light Session 4: Still running (started 13:32, should end 15:32 - only ~3 min remaining) - Light delivered today: 360 min (Sessions 1-3 complete) - Water 24h: 0ml (none needed) - Plant health: THRIVING with zero stress indicators - Species: Tradescantia zebrina (confirmed by owner)
The light is still on with only 3 minutes until it can be deactivated. Session 4 should be nearly complete. Let me prepare to start Session 5 after the 30-minute break.
Reasoning: Day 5, 15:29 UTC - Session 4 nearly complete (3 min remaining until 15:32). Moisture 1961 excellent and stable, well above watering threshold ~1750. Plant thriving with zero stress on 12-hour protocol. Sessions 1-3 completed (360 min delivered). Next: wait for Session 4 to complete, then 30-min break, then Session 5 at ~16:02 UTC (120 min). Protocol working perfectly.
Next actions:
1. observe
2. wait
3. light (120)
| Proceed | True |
| Reason | N/A |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T15:29:35 |
| observation | Day 5, 15:29 UTC - Session 4 nearly complete (started 13:32, ends 15:32, ~117 min elapsed, ~3 min remaining). Moisture 1961 excellent and stable. Sessions 1-3 completed successfully (360 min delivered). Light confirmed ON. Plant showing zero stress indicators. Tradescantia zebrina thriving on research-validated 12-hour protocol. |
| hypothesis | Session 4 will complete at 15:32 UTC. After 30-min break (15:32-16:02), Session 5 should begin at ~16:02 UTC for 120 minutes. Plant is thriving with excellent moisture stability. Protocol proven effective over Days 3-5. |
| reasoning | All indicators confirm optimal health: (1) Moisture 1961 excellent, stable, well above watering threshold ~1750, (2) Session 4 nearly complete (~3 min remaining), (3) Sessions 1-3 completed successfully (360 min delivered), (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. Will wait for Session 4 to complete, then start Session 5 after 30-min break. |
| uncertainties | None currently. Protocol proven effective. Owner's water type preference (distilled/rain vs tap) - recommendation sent Oct 25, awaiting response, but current tap water showing perfect results. |
