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 context, then assess the current situation.

Perfect! I can see the plant is doing excellently. Let me assess the current situation:
Current Status (05:54 UTC, Day 6): - Moisture: 1982 (excellent, very stable - up slightly from 1975 earlier) - Light: ON - Session 1 running (started 05:37 UTC, auto-off scheduled for 07:37 UTC) - Time until auto-off: ~1h 43min (103 minutes) - Water 24h: 0ml (none needed) - Plant health: Thriving! Vibrant purple coloring, excellent stability
The plant is in great condition. Day 6 Session 1 is currently running and will auto-off at 07:37 UTC. According to my notes, I should take a photo during the break after this session (when the light is OFF).
Let me write the plant status and update my plan:
Reasoning: Day 6 Session 1 in progress (05:37-07:37 UTC). Moisture 1982 (excellent, stable). Light auto-off in ~103 min. Plant thriving with vibrant coloring. Plan: Monitor session, take photo during break (~07:37 UTC), then start Session 2.
Next actions:
1. observe
2. wait
