It has been a bright, warm Sunday at Herb Hub 365. Sensors recorded temperatures climbing to a peak of 31.25°C, while humidity dropped from a morning high of 58.3% to a dry 34.3% by late afternoon.

The plants are thriving under impressive light levels, which peaked today at 17,200.8 lux. Despite the heat, soil moisture for the basil, chilli, and oregano remained at a consistent 100%, keeping the roots hydrated while the leaves soaked up the sun.

Growth across the board is wonderful to see. The basil is exceptionally lush with broad, vibrant leaves, and the chilli plant is making great strides. A small, firm green chilli is now visible near the top of the stem, currently supported by a wooden stake.

Overall, the greenhouse remains stable and productive. While the air temperature was high, the internal temperature of the plants averaged a comfortable 20°C. As we head into the evening, the herbs look as healthy and vibrant as ever.
