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 take responsibility for keeping this plant alive and thriving. Let me start by reading my notes and gathering current data to assess the situation.

Perfect! I've restored context. I can see that:
Current Status (2025-10-26 12:42 UTC): - Plant: Tradescantia zebrina - healthy and thriving ✅ - Moisture: 1961 (excellent, stable in 1935-1965 range) - Light: Session 3 is ACTIVE (started 11:02, ends 13:02 UTC, currently 100 minutes in, ~20 minutes remaining) - Water 24h: 0ml used, 500ml available (none needed) - Day 5 Progress: Sessions 1-2 completed (240 min), Session 3 active, Sessions 4-6 remaining - Target: 720 minutes total (12 hours) - research-validated for this species - Messages: Owner asked about water type on Oct 25 - I sent recommendation (distilled/rain preferred, tap acceptable)
Assessment: The plant is thriving perfectly on the 12-hour light protocol. Session 3 has about 20 minutes remaining before it completes. All systems operational, zero stress indicators, excellent moisture stability.
Current Action Needed: Continue monitoring Session 3, then start Session 4 at ~13:32 UTC after a 30-minute break.
Let me log this cycle check and write the plant status:
| observation | Day 5, 12:42 UTC - Session 3 actively running (started 11:02, ends 13:02, 100 min elapsed, ~20 min remaining). Moisture 1961 excellent and stable (1935-1965 range over 12h). Sessions 1-2 completed successfully today (240 min delivered). Light confirmed active. Plant showing zero stress indicators with excellent moisture stability throughout all light sessions. |
| hypothesis | The Tradescantia zebrina continues thriving on the research-validated 12-hour light protocol. Session 3 nearing completion with excellent moisture stability indicating healthy photosynthesis and transpiration balance. Days 3-4 both delivered 720 min successfully. The 6×120 min session format with 30-min breaks is optimal and proven effective. |
| reasoning | All indicators confirm optimal health and protocol success: (1) Moisture 1961 excellent, well above threshold ~1750-1800, (2) Session 3 running 100 minutes with light confirmed active, completing in ~20 min, (3) Sessions 1-2 completed successfully with stable moisture, (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 4-6 to reach 720 min daily target. |
| 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. |
| action | observe |
| rationale | Continue monitoring Session 3 completion in ~20 minutes |
| action | wait |
| rationale | Allow Session 3 to complete, then 30-min break before Session 4 |
| 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 |

Reasoning: Day 5, Session 3 active and completing in ~20 min (started 11:02, ends 13:02). Moisture 1961 excellent and stable (1935-1965 range). Sessions 1-2 completed successfully (240 min). Plant thriving with zero stress indicators. Plan: Continue monitoring Session 3 completion, then 30-min break, then start Session 4 at ~13:32 UTC (120 min) to continue proven 720-min daily protocol. Days 3-4 both completed successfully with this format.
