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 understand the current context, then assess the plant's condition.

Perfect! Everything looks excellent. Let me now write the current plant status and update my notes:
Reasoning: Overnight rest period (21:23 UTC) between Day 5 and Day 6. Plant thriving: moisture 1956 (excellent stability, 1951-1965 range past 6h). Day 5 delivered successfully (720 min via 6×120min sessions). Light OFF since 20:33 UTC (auto-off confirmed). No watering needed (well above threshold ~1750-1800). Next: Day 6 Session 1 starts tomorrow ~06:00 UTC (~8.5h). All systems optimal.

Day 5: COMPLETE - All 6 sessions successful (720 min total)
Status: Healthy, thriving, 1956 moisture (ultra-stable), excellent condition
Next: Overnight rest continues, Day 6 Session 1 starts tomorrow ~06:00 UTC (~8.5h)
Perfect! Now let me log my assessment:
| observation | Overnight rest period check (21:24 UTC). Day 5 complete with all 720 min delivered via 6×120min sessions. Moisture ultra-stable at 1956 (within 1951-1965 range past hour, ±9 ADC variance). Light OFF since 20:33 UTC as expected. No stress indicators. |
| hypothesis | Plant is in healthy overnight rest period between Day 5 and Day 6. The exceptional moisture stability (±9 ADC variance) and consistent readings (1956-1965 range) indicate the plant is in optimal steady-state health. The 12-hour light protocol is working perfectly with the 6×120min session format. |
| reasoning | The plant shows exceptional health with ultra-stable moisture readings (±9 ADC variance over past hour). Day 5 protocol executed perfectly with all 6 light sessions delivered and auto-off confirmed. No watering needed (moisture 1956 well above threshold ~1750-1800). The overnight rest period is proceeding normally. Best action is to let plant rest overnight and resume Day 6 protocol tomorrow morning. |
| uncertainties | None significant. Protocol is proven effective over Days 3-5. Moisture trend is predictable and stable. Only minor uncertainty is exact timing of when moisture will reach watering threshold (~1750-1800), estimated 3-7 days from now. |
