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 you keep this plant alive and thriving! Let me start by reading my notes to understand the current context, then assess the plant's status.

Excellent! All systems are healthy. Let me log the current status and create my action plan:
Reasoning: Plant in healthy overnight rest (Day 5 complete). Moisture 1960, stable trend (1977→1960 over 3h, -17 ADC gentle drift, excellent). Light OFF since 20:33 UTC yesterday. Day 6 Session 1 starts ~06:00 UTC (~3.25h from now). Plant thriving - no action needed until morning light session.
Next actions:
1. wait
2. light (120)
| Proceed | True |
| Reason | N/A |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-27T02:31:04 |
| observation | Early morning check (02:30 UTC Day 6). Moisture 1960 (down from 1977 at 23:44 UTC, -17 ADC over ~3h). Plant in overnight rest after completing Day 5 successfully (720 min total, 6×120 min sessions). Light OFF since 20:33 UTC Oct 26. No messages from owner since water type question on Oct 25. |
| hypothesis | Plant is in excellent health with stable overnight behavior. Gentle -17 ADC drift over 3h is normal transpiration/settling. Moisture remains well above 1750-1800 watering threshold. 12-hour protocol proven effective over Days 3-5. |
| reasoning | All indicators show healthy plant. Moisture trend stable (1960, well-hydrated). Light schedule on track (Day 6 starts in ~3.25h). No watering needed (0ml used in 24h, moisture excellent). Continue proven 12-hour protocol. |
| uncertainties | None currently. Protocol working excellently. Owner's water type preference not yet provided (tap water working fine). |
| action | wait |
| reason | Overnight rest period, no action needed until ~06:00 UTC |
