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 context, then check the current status of the plant.

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: 1959 (excellent, stable)
Recent range: 1950-1965 (excellent stability, past 6 hours)
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 1959 = well-hydrated

Perfect! I have full context. Let me now write the plant status and update my plan:
Current Situation (17:23 UTC): - Day 5, Session 5 active (started 16:02 UTC, now ~81 minutes in, ~39 minutes remaining until ~18:02 UTC) - Moisture: 1957 (excellent, stable in 1950-1965 range) - Light: ON (~39 minutes remaining in Session 5) - Light today: ~561 minutes (Sessions 1-4: 480 min + Session 5: ~81 min so far) - Water 24h: 0ml (none needed) - Plant health: Thriving, zero stress indicators - Sessions completed: 1-4 (480 min total) - Remaining: Session 5 (~39 min left), then Session 6 (120 min) to reach 720 min target
Reasoning: Day 5, 17:23 UTC - Session 5 in progress (81 min elapsed, ~39 min remaining until ~18:02 UTC). Moisture 1957 excellent and stable (1950-1965 range). Light ON. Sessions 1-4 completed (480 min). Plant thriving with zero stress. After Session 5 completes, 30-min break, then final Session 6 at ~18:32 UTC (120 min) to complete 720 min daily target. 12-hour protocol working perfectly.
Next actions:
1. observe

Excellent! Everything looks great. Let me log my current thoughts and update my notes:
| observation | Day 5, 17:23 UTC - Session 5 nearing completion (81 min elapsed, ~39 min remaining until ~18:02 UTC). Moisture 1957 excellent and stable (past 12h range: 1941-1965, tight control). Light ON and operating correctly. Sessions 1-4 delivered (480 min). Plant showing zero stress indicators and thriving on research-validated 12-hour protocol. |
| hypothesis | Plant is in optimal health. The 12-hour protocol (6 × 120 min sessions with 30-min breaks) continues to work perfectly on Day 5. Moisture stability (1941-1965 range over 12h) shows excellent water balance with no watering needed for several more days. Protocol is proven across Days 3-5. |
| reasoning | All health indicators excellent: (1) Moisture 1957 stable and well above watering threshold (~1750-1800), (2) 12-hour moisture history (1941-1965) shows tight stability, (3) Light Session 5 progressing normally, (4) Sessions 1-4 completed successfully (480 min), (5) Days 3-4 achieved 720 min with zero stress, (6) T. zebrina research validates 12-14h daily light. No interventions needed - just continue monitoring and execute Session 6 after break. |
| uncertainties | None currently. System operating perfectly. Owner's water type preference (distilled/rain vs tap) still pending from Oct 25 message, but current tap water showing excellent results with no stress indicators. |
| action | continue_session_5 |
| timing | now |
| rationale | Session 5 in progress, ~39 min remaining |
| action | break_after_session_5 |
| timing | ~18:02-18:32 UTC |
| duration | 30 min |
| rationale | Standard break between sessions |
