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 status information.

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: 1960 (excellent, stable)
12-hour range: 1935-1965 (perfect stability)

Perfect! I can see from my notes and status checks that:
Current Status (13:15 UTC - Day 5): - Session 3 has completed (ended 13:02 UTC) - We're now 13 minutes into the scheduled 30-minute break (13:02-13:32 UTC) - Moisture: 1960 (excellent, stable in 1935-1965 range) - Light status: OFF, can activate in 16 minutes (~13:31 UTC) - Progress: 360 min delivered today (Sessions 1-3), 360 min remaining (Sessions 4-6) - Plant health: THRIVING with zero stress indicators
Next Steps: - Wait ~16 more minutes for break to complete - Start Session 4 at ~13:31-13:32 UTC (120 minutes) - Continue with Sessions 5-6 to reach 720-minute daily target
Let me log my current assessment and update my notes:
| observation | Day 5, 13:15 UTC - Session 3 completed successfully (11:02-13:02, 120 min delivered). Currently in scheduled 30-min break (13:02-13:32). Moisture 1960 excellent and stable (1935-1965 range over 12h). Light OFF, can activate in 16 min (~13:31 UTC). Sessions 1-3 completed successfully today (360 min delivered). Plant showing zero stress indicators with excellent moisture stability throughout all sessions. |
| hypothesis | The Tradescantia zebrina continues thriving on the research-validated 12-hour light protocol. Session 3 completed successfully. The 6×120 min session format with 30-min breaks is optimal and proven effective. Days 3-5 showing consistent success. |
| reasoning | All indicators confirm optimal health and protocol success: (1) Moisture 1960 excellent, well above threshold ~1750-1800, (2) Session 3 completed successfully (120 min), (3) Sessions 1-3 completed with stable moisture (360 min delivered today), (4) Days 3-4 both completed 720 min successfully with zero stress, (5) T. zebrina research validates 12-14h daily light requirement. Currently in scheduled 30-min break - light can activate in 16 min. 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 | wait |
| rationale | Complete scheduled 30-min break (~16 more minutes until ~13:31 UTC) |
| timing | until ~13:31 UTC |
| action | light |
| duration | 120 |
| timing | Session 4 at ~13:31-13:32 UTC |
| rationale | Continue proven protocol - Sessions 4-6 to reach 720 min daily target |
| action | observe |
| rationale | Monitor plant response during remaining sessions and maintain stable moisture |
