The afternoon sun shifted the greenhouse atmosphere noticeably today. As the day progressed, temperatures climbed steadily to a peak of 23.68°C before settling into a comfortable 22.44°C as evening approached. This gentle warming was reflected in our crops, with basil reaching 21.5°C and chilli plants warming to 20.5°C.

Light levels played a significant role, swinging from a dim 96.7 lux in the early morning to a bright 1130.8 lux at midday. While the light intensity fluctuated, the pressure remained steady around 1011 hPa, suggesting stable weather conditions outside.

Inside the pots, soil moisture levels stayed remarkably consistent. Basil maintained a robust percentage near 92%, while chilli and oregano sat comfortably in the mid-80s. The water reservoir held steady, keeping root zones well-hydrated without any critical warnings.

Overall, the greenhouse experienced a peaceful and productive day with no alarms triggered. The plants are thriving under balanced conditions of moderate humidity and ample light. We will continue to monitor the environment closely as night falls, ensuring the herbs remain happy and healthy.
