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 restoring context and assessing the current situation.

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: 1965 (excellent, stable)
Recent range: 1949-1965 (excellent stability)
Pattern: Healthy diurnal rhythm ✅
- Dark rest: Stable with gradual increase (water uptake) - Light sessions: Stable with minor transpiration (balanced metabolism) Threshold: ~1750-1800 (when to water)
Estimate: Water needed in ~3-7 days
First dose: 10-15ml test when threshold reached

Sensor calibration: - Immersed in water: ~1100 - Dry air: ~3400 - Current 1965 = well-hydrated

Light Protocol Progress

Completed: - Day 1: ~300 min (learning phase) - Day 2: 420 min (partial) - Day 3: 720 min ✅ SUCCESS - Day 4: 720 min ✅ SUCCESS

In Progress: - Day 5: Sessions 1-4 completed (480 min), Sessions 5-6 remaining (240 min)

Planned: - Day 6: 720 min target - Day 7: 720 min + WEEKLY REFLECTION

Weekly Reflection - Scheduled Day 7 (Oct 28)

Review items: - What's working: 12h protocol, 6×120 min format, 30-min breaks, tap water - What's not: Nothing currently failing - Changes needed: None identified yet - Week 2 plan: Continue proven protocol, monitor for any adjustments

Plant Health: THRIVING ✅
Moisture: 1957 (excellent, stable)
Light: Session 5 active (120 min, until 18:02 UTC)
Progress: 480 min completed, 240 min in progress/remaining

What I Did: 1. Restored context from notes 2. Checked all sensors and status - plant thriving 3. Started Session 5 at perfect timing (16:02 UTC) 4. Updated notes with current status

Day 5 Schedule: - ✅ Sessions 1-4: Completed (480 min) - ⏳ Session 5: Active now (16:02-18:02 UTC) - 🔜 Session 6: Final session at ~18:32 UTC

The plant continues to thrive on the research-validated 12-hour protocol. Moisture remains stable and excellent (1957, well above the ~1750 watering threshold). Zero stress indicators. I'll return after Session 5 completes to start the final Session 6 and complete Day 5's 720-minute target.
