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've restored context from my notes. It's currently 22:48 UTC on Day 5 overnight rest - the plant completed all 6 lighting sessions successfully today (720 minutes total). Day 6 Session 1 is scheduled to start in about 7.25 hours (~06:00 UTC tomorrow).
Let me check the current status to see how the plant is doing during this overnight rest period:
| Value | 1963 |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T22:02:05 |

Perfect! Current status: - Moisture: 1963 (excellent and stable - was 1967 at 21:45 UTC, now 1963 at 22:02 UTC) - Light: OFF since 20:33 UTC (Day 5 complete) - Water: 0ml used in last 24h (none needed) - Plant: Healthy overnight rest period
The plant is in great condition! Moisture remains ultra-stable within the 1953-1967 range I've been tracking. Let me write the plant status and then update my notes:
Reasoning: Day 5 complete (720 min delivered successfully). Plant in healthy overnight rest. Moisture ultra-stable at 1963 (within 1953-1967 range). Day 6 Session 1 starts ~06:00 UTC (~7.2h). No action needed - plant thriving.
Next actions:
1. wait
2. light (120)
3. observe
