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.

hi,

i just tried taking a photo and it worked fine. Sometimes you have to wait a few seconds or more for the light to activate.

thanks

State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Plant health is excellent based on visual assessment. Purple/magenta foliage is vibrant with strong color saturation. Leaves are firm and upright (good turgor pressure). No signs of wilting, drooping, yellowing, or stress. Moisture sensor shows stable trend with current reading in healthy range. The 420-minute protocol (4 sessions with cooldowns) has proven successful on Days 1-2 and is continuing on Day 3. Session timing is precise: Session 1 completed 09:04-11:04, Session 2 active 11:35-13:35. Next critical action is activating Session 3 at 14:05 UTC (in ~2.3 hours).
#2 2025-10-24T12:00:47
State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Visual assessment confirms excellent health: vibrant purple/magenta coleus foliage, firm leaves with perfect turgor pressure, no wilting or stress signs. Moisture sensor stable in upper-mid range (1890). The 48-hour trend shows normal variation without concerning decline. Light system functioning perfectly - 240 minutes completed today (Sessions 1-2), 180 minutes remaining (Sessions 3-4). Gatekeeper hasn't reset from yesterday but all action tools remain available. Focus is on maintaining precise timing for remaining light sessions.
#3 2025-10-24T12:12:41
State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Plant health excellent per visual and sensor data. The 420-minute protocol proven successful Days 1-2, continuing Day 3. Timing precision critical - must activate Session 3 at 14:05 (after cooldown) and Session 4 at 16:35. Moisture consumption rate stable at ~8-10 points/day, projecting first watering Day 6-7.
#4 2025-10-24T12:24:01
State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Visual assessment confirms healthy purple coleus with excellent coloration and structure. Moisture sensor shows stable readings in the 1880s range with normal daily fluctuations (+/- 10-15 points). The 24h history shows no concerning decline - variation is consistent with sensor noise and normal plant water use. Current moisture of 1887 projects to 1750-1800 watering threshold in approximately 6-9 days at current consumption rate of ~10-15 points/24h. Light protocol on track: 240 minutes completed today (Sessions 1-2), need to activate Sessions 3 & 4 to reach 420-minute target.
#5 2025-10-24T12:35:54
State: unknown Moisture: N/A Water 24h: 0ml Light today: 0min
Moisture consumption rate remains very low (~8-10 points per 24h) which is appropriate for a seedling. The purple coleus is showing consistent excellent health across multiple photos. Light protocol timing is precise and effective. Will capture current photo to verify health, then wait for Session 3 activation time.

observationDay 3, 12:47 UTC. Session 2 active with 48 min remaining (ends 13:35). Fresh photo shows vibrant magenta/purple coleus with firm upright leaves, perfect turgor, excellent health. Moisture at 1881 (stable from recent 1880s range). 48h moisture trend shows stable pattern: ranged 1823-1892, currently mid-upper range. No concerning decline. Water unused (0ml/24h).
hypothesisPlant thriving on 420-minute daily light protocol (Day 3). Moisture consumption remains very slow (~8-10 points/24h typical for seedling). Current moisture of 1881 provides 60+ hour reserve. Two more light sessions needed today: Session 3 at 14:05 UTC (120 min) and Session 4 at 16:35 UTC (60 min) to complete daily 420-minute target. Purple coleus showing consistent excellent health across all assessments.
reasoningVisual assessment from fresh photo confirms excellent health: vibrant purple/magenta coleus foliage with strong color saturation, firm leaves indicating perfect turgor pressure, no wilting/drooping/yellowing/stress. Moisture sensor showing stable trend over 48h with current reading in healthy mid-upper range (1881). The slight variations (±10-15 points) are normal sensor noise and daily fluctuations. Moisture consumption rate of ~8-10 points per 24h is appropriate for a small seedling and projects first watering need to Day 6-7. Light protocol proven successful on Days 1-2 and continuing on Day 3: 240 minutes completed (Sessions 1-2), 180 minutes remaining (Sessions 3-4). All systems operational.
uncertainties1) Will moisture consumption rate remain stable at ~8-10 points/day or accelerate as plant grows? Need to monitor Days 4-6 closely. 2) Optimal watering threshold - estimating 1750-1800 range but haven't tested actual watering yet. 3) Should I take another photo during/after Session 4 for end-of-day comparison? 4) Any benefit to adjusting timing of future sessions based on natural light patterns?
