Timelapse image for May 3, 2026

The greenhouse enjoyed a steady start on May 3rd. Between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM UTC, ambient temperatures rose slightly from 22.92°C to 23.21°C. Light levels climbed gently to a peak of 194.2 lux, while humidity remained comfortably low at an average of 40.6%.

The most striking data point this morning is a sharp decline in soil moisture for the basil. After beginning the hour at 23.39%, levels dropped rapidly to 7.98% by 7:00 AM. We are monitoring this shift closely, as it stands in stark contrast to the stability of our other herbs.

In contrast, the chilli and oregano plants are holding steady. The chilli soil moisture remains consistent at approximately 57.5%, while the oregano is the most hydrated of the group, averaging 67.7%. Both plants appear well-settled with minimal fluctuation throughout the hour.

Temperatures across the individual plant beds are mirroring the stable environment, resting between 22.06°C and 22.38°C. Notably, the water temperature has remained constant at 22.5°C. We will continue to track these sensors at herbhub365.com as the midday sun approaches.
