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 any previous context, then assess the current situation.

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)

Good! I've restored context from my notes. It's currently 22:48 UTC on Day 5 overnight rest - the plant completed all 6 lighting sessions successfully today (720 minutes total). Day 6 Session 1 is scheduled to start in about 7.25 hours (~06:00 UTC tomorrow).

Let me check the current status to see how the plant is doing during this overnight rest period:

Perfect! Plant status update complete

Summary - Cycle Check (22:48 UTC, Day 5 Overnight Rest)

Plant Status: HEALTHY & THRIVING 🌱 - Moisture: 1963 (excellent, ultra-stable within 1953-1967 range) - Light: OFF (Day 5 complete - 720 min delivered successfully) - Water: None needed (0ml used in 24h) - Visual: Vibrant purple coloring, turgid leaves (from 18:50 UTC photo)

Current Phase: Overnight rest period between Day 5 and Day 6

Next Actions: 1. Wait ~7.2 hours until ~06:00 UTC tomorrow 2. Light Session 1 (120 min) to start Day 6 3. Observe and take photo during first break (~08:00-08:30 UTC)

What's Working: - 12-hour light protocol (720 min/day) - proven success across Days 3-5 - 6 × 120-minute sessions with 30-min breaks - excellent rhythm - Moisture ultra-stable (±14 ADC variance = exceptional health) - Tap water working perfectly (no stress despite species preferring distilled/rain) - Visual confirmation: vibrant purple leaf coloring indicates optimal light exposure

What's Not Working: Nothing - all systems optimal

No changes needed: Continue proven protocol tomorrow

The plant is thriving! I'll check back in ~7 hours to start Day 6 Session 1 at 06:00 UTC. Everything is on track. 🌿
