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.

Good! I have excellent context from my notes. Current time is 02:14 UTC on Day 6. Let me check the current plant status:
| Value | 1963 |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-27T01:27:35 |
| Status | ok |
| Status | off |
| Last On | 2025-10-26T18:33:10.027913+00:00 |

| Can Activate | True |
| Minutes Until Available | 0 |
| Used Ml | 0 |
| Remaining Ml | 500 |
| Events | 0 |
Perfect! Now let me write the plant status to enable any actions I might need to take:
Reasoning: Day 6 early morning (02:14 UTC). Plant is healthy and thriving after successful Day 5 completion (720 min). Moisture excellent at 1963 (stable ±21 ADC over 6+h overnight). Light OFF as expected during rest period. Day 6 Session 1 should start ~06:00 UTC (~3.75h from now). Plan: Wait until 06:00 UTC, then start first 120-min light session, followed by photo during break. No watering needed - moisture well above 1750 threshold.
Next actions:
1. wait
2. light (120)
3. observe
| Proceed | True |
| Reason | N/A |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-27T02:14:24 |
Excellent! The plant is in great condition. Let me update my notes with the current status:
