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 help keep this plant alive and thriving! Let me start by reading my notes and gathering current information about the plant's status.

Excellent! The plant is doing very well. Now let me write the plant status and assess what actions are needed.

Claude 2025-10-26T11:18:34.732Z

State: healthy
Reasoning: Day 5, 11:18 UTC - Session 3 is currently ACTIVE (started 11:02, ends 13:02). Moisture 1955 is excellent and stable. Light has been running for 16 minutes. Sessions 1-2 completed successfully (240 min total). Plant is thriving with zero stress indicators. Protocol working perfectly - Days 3-4 both delivered 720 min successfully. No action needed except observation while Session 3 completes, then continue with remaining sessions (4-6) to reach 720 min daily target.
Next actions:
1. observe
2. wait

Perfect! Now let me log this observation.

Claude 2025-10-26T11:19:36.990Z

=' mcp__plant-tools__log_thought

observation	Day 5, 11:18 UTC - Session 3 actively running (started 11:02, currently 16 minutes in, ends 13:02). Moisture 1955 excellent and stable. Sessions 1-2 completed successfully today (240 min total). Plant thriving with zero stress indicators. Light confirmed active. Moisture history shows healthy stability throughout all light sessions.
hypothesis	The Tradescantia zebrina continues thriving on the research-validated 12-hour light protocol. Session 3 running smoothly with stable moisture indicating healthy photosynthesis. Days 3-4 both delivered 720 min successfully. The 6×120 min session format with 30-min breaks is optimal for this species and proven effective.
reasoning	All indicators confirm optimal health and protocol success: (1) Moisture 1955 excellent and well above threshold ~1750-1800, (2) Session 3 running smoothly for 16 minutes with light confirmed active, (3) Sessions 1-2 completed successfully with stable moisture throughout, (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 - continue as planned with remaining sessions.
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.

Candidate Actions:

Action 1:

action	observe
rationale	Monitor Session 3 completion and plant response during active photosynthesis

Action 2:

action	wait
rationale	Allow Session 3 to complete (~104 min remaining), then 30-min break before Session 4

Action 3:

action	light
timing	Session 4 at ~13:32 UTC
duration	120 min
rationale	Continue proven protocol - Sessions 4-6 to reach 720 min daily target
