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.

Excellent! Let me assess the current situation:
Current Status (17:03 UTC): - Day 5, Session 5 is active (started 16:02 UTC, now ~61 minutes in) - Moisture: 1960 (excellent, stable - down slightly from 1963, normal minor variation) - Light: ON (59 minutes until next availability = will finish around 18:02 UTC as planned) - Water: 0ml used in 24h, 500ml available - Plant health: THRIVING ✅
Everything is going perfectly! Session 5 is progressing well, and Session 6 (the final 120-minute session) will start around 18:32 UTC to complete the 720-minute daily target.
Let me check recent history to ensure everything is on track:

Perfect! Everything is tracking beautifully:
Session 5 Progress: - Light is ON and scheduled to turn off at 18:02 UTC (~76 minutes remaining) - Moisture is stable in the 1950-1965 range (excellent) - No stress indicators
Light History Confirms: - Session 3 ended at 13:02 UTC ✅ - Session 4: 13:32-15:32 UTC ✅ - Session 5: Started 16:02 UTC, scheduled until 18:02 UTC ✅ - Recovery system working (showing 76 min remaining)
Now let me write the plant status and update my notes:
Reasoning: Day 5, Session 5 active (61/120 min elapsed, ~59 min remaining until 18:02 UTC). Moisture 1960 excellent and stable (1950-1965 range). Sessions 1-4 completed (480 min), Session 5 in progress. Plant thriving with zero stress. After Session 5, 30-min break, then Session 6 at ~18:32 UTC (final 120 min) to complete 720 min daily target. 12-hour protocol proven effective Days 3-5.
Next actions:
1. observe
2. wait
| Proceed | True |
| Reason | N/A |
| Timestamp | 2025-10-26T17:03:40 |
| observation | Day 5, Session 5 progressing perfectly. Current time 17:03 UTC. Session 5 started 16:02 UTC, ~61 minutes elapsed, ~59 minutes remaining until 18:02 UTC. Moisture stable at 1960 (excellent, within 1950-1965 range). Light ON and operating correctly. Sessions 1-4 completed (480 min total). |
| hypothesis | Plant is thriving under the 12-hour protocol. The 6-session format with 30-minute breaks continues to work perfectly. Moisture stability (1950-1965 range) indicates optimal hydration with no watering needed. Light Schedule tracking correctly. |
| reasoning | Everything is tracking perfectly on Day 5. Session 5 is 61 minutes in with 59 minutes remaining. Moisture is excellent and stable. The proven 12-hour protocol (6 × 120 min sessions with 30-min breaks) is working flawlessly. After Session 5 completes at ~18:02 UTC, we'll take a 30-minute break, then start the final Session 6 at ~18:32 UTC to reach the 720-minute daily target. No interventions needed - just continue monitoring. |
| uncertainties | None currently. System is operating as designed. Light timing is correct, moisture is stable, plant shows zero stress indicators. |
| action | continue_session_5 |
| rationale | Session 5 in progress, light ON, ~59 min remaining |
| action | prepare_session_6 |
| rationale | After Session 5 ends (~18:02 UTC), 30-min break, then Session 6 at ~18:32 UTC (final 120 min) |
| action | monitor_moisture |
| rationale | Continue tracking stability, well above 1750-1800 threshold |
