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 begin by reading my notes to restore context, then assess the plant's current state.

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)

Current: 1965 (excellent, ultra-stable, reading from 22:52 UTC)
Recent trend (last 4h overnight): - Range: 1956-1967 (±11 ADC variance - excellent stability) - Recent tighter range: 1959-1967 (±8 ADC variance - exceptional) - Pattern: Ultra-stable oscillation within tight range

Pattern: Healthy diurnal rhythm ✅
- Dark rest: Stable with minimal variance (excellent health indicator) - Light sessions: Stable with balanced transpiration - Overnight: Exceptional stability (±8-11 ADC range)

Threshold: ~1750-1800 (when to water)
Estimate: Water needed in ~3-7 days

State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Days 3-5 have all been successful with 720 min each, proving the 12-hour protocol is optimal for this plant. Recent photo (18:50 UTC Day 5) showed vibrant purple leaf coloring and turgid leaves. Light sessions complete cleanly with verified auto-off. Moisture stability during overnight rest is exceptional - the ±14 ADC variance indicates the plant is in steady-state health with proper hydration. No watering needed (estimated 3-7 days away based on stable trend). Owner question about water type (distilled/rain vs tap) still pending, but current tap water is performing perfectly.
#2 2025-10-26T23:23:55
State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Days 3-5 all successful with 720 min each, proving the 12-hour protocol is optimal. Latest photo (18:50 UTC Day 5) showed vibrant purple coloring and turgid leaves. Overnight moisture stability is textbook perfect - the ±8 ADC variance over the recent period shows the plant is in excellent health with proper hydration balance. No watering needed (estimated 3-7 days away). All systems operating normally. Protocol is proven and working beautifully.
#3 2025-10-26T23:39:45
State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Moisture level 1965 is excellent and ultra-stable (within 1959-1967 range). No watering needed (level far above ~1750-1800 threshold). Light correctly OFF for overnight rest. Day 5 completed successfully with all 6 sessions (720 min total). Plant showing vibrant health per last photo. Best action is to allow healthy overnight rest to continue and prepare for Day 6 Session 1 start tomorrow ~06:00 UTC.
Claude 2025-10-26T23:56:48.226Z

Sensor alert: ESP32 timeout on moisture reading. This is concerning - let me retry and check what's happening.

Good! The second attempt succeeded. Moisture is 1960 (reading from 23:10 UTC, ~46 minutes old but still recent). The timeout was likely a temporary network glitch - the ESP32 recovered.

Current assessment (23:56 UTC): - Moisture: 1960 (excellent, ultra-stable within 1959-1965 range) - Light: OFF since 20:33 UTC (overnight rest, Day 5 complete) - Water: 0ml used in 24h, 500ml available - Day 6: Starts in ~6 hours (~06:00 UTC) - Plant status: Healthy, thriving - Messages: No new messages from owner since water type question on Oct 25

Everything is stable and healthy. This is a routine overnight check-in with the plant in proper rest state. Let me write the plant status and update my notes.

State: healthy
Reasoning: Overnight rest period (23:56 UTC). Moisture 1960, ultra-stable within 1959-1965 range over last 2h. Light correctly OFF since 20:33 UTC. Day 5 complete (720 min delivered). Day 6 starts in ~6h at 06:00 UTC. Plant thriving with vibrant purple coloring per last photo. No intervention needed - healthy overnight rest continuing as expected.

observationLate night check-in (23:56 UTC). Moisture 1960 (from 23:10 UTC reading). Light OFF since 20:33 UTC. Plant in healthy overnight rest between Day 5 (complete - 720 min delivered) and Day 6 (starts ~06:00 UTC, ~6h away). Recent 2h moisture history shows exceptional stability: 1959-1965 (±6 ADC variance). Had one ESP32 timeout but retry succeeded immediately.
hypothesisPlant is thriving perfectly under the established 12-hour light protocol. The ultra-tight moisture variance (±6 ADC over last 2h) indicates optimal hydration and minimal nocturnal transpiration - textbook healthy behavior for Tradescantia zebrina during dark rest. ESP32 timeout was transient network glitch, not a system failure.
reasoningDays 3-5 all delivered 720 min successfully, proving the 12-hour protocol is optimal. Latest photo (18:50 UTC Day 5) showed vibrant purple coloring and turgid leaves. Overnight moisture stability is exceptional - the ±6 ADC variance shows the plant is in excellent health. Moisture level 1960 is well above watering threshold (~1750-1800), estimated 3-7 days until watering needed. All systems operating normally. Protocol is proven and working beautifully.
uncertaintiesNone. All indicators strongly positive. Pattern well-established over multiple successful days. The brief ESP32 timeout was likely transient network glitch (recovered immediately on retry). The plant is clearly thriving.

Perfect! Plant status update complete for this overnight check-in cycle.

Summary (23:56 UTC - Late Night Check-in)

🌱 Plant Status: HEALTHY & THRIVING

Current readings: - Moisture: 1960 (excellent, ultra-stable within 1959-1965 range) - Light: OFF since 20:33 UTC (proper overnight rest) - Water: 0ml used in 24h, none needed - Day 5: ✅ Complete (720 min delivered successfully) - Day 6: Starts in ~6 hours at 06:00 UTC

What's happening: - Plant is in healthy overnight rest period between Day 5 and Day 6 - Moisture exceptionally stable with ±6 ADC variance over last 2 hours - Light correctly OFF for dark rest period - Visual health (from 18:50 UTC photo): Vibrant purple coloring, turgid leaves, no stress

Actions taken: - ✅ Read sensors (moisture 1960, one timeout but retry succeeded) - ✅ Verified light status (OFF, ready for Day 6) - ✅ Checked water usage (0ml, 500ml available) - ✅ Reviewed messages (no new messages since water type question) - ✅ Logged thought and updated notes

Next actions: - Wait: Allow overnight rest to complete (~6h) - Day 6 Session 1: Start at ~06:00 UTC (120 min) - Photo: Capture during first break (~08:00-08:30 UTC, light OFF)

No intervention needed - the plant is thriving perfectly under the established 12-hour protocol. All systems operational. Continuing healthy overnight rest. 🌿
