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 fetching my notes to restore any previous context, then assess the current situation.

Perfect! Current status: - Moisture: 1963 (excellent, ultra-stable - last reading 21:11 UTC, 46 min ago) - Light: OFF (last off 20:33 UTC, correctly in overnight rest) - Water 24h: 0ml used (no watering needed) - Messages: Owner asked about water type on Oct 25 - I already responded with my recommendation
Everything looks healthy and stable. The plant is in its overnight rest period. Let me write the plant status and update my notes with the current observation.
Reasoning: Overnight rest period between Day 5 (complete, 720 min) and Day 6. Moisture stable at 1963 (excellent, within 1956-1965 range). Light correctly OFF since 20:33 UTC. No watering needed. Plant thriving. Day 6 Session 1 scheduled to start ~06:00 UTC tomorrow (~8h away). Will wait until morning, then observe before starting light session.
Next actions:
1. wait
2. observe
