It has been a bright and active day at the greenhouse. Temperatures climbed from a cool 16.83°C this morning to a pleasant peak of 22.17°C. Light levels reached 475.8 lux around midday, providing the plants with plenty of energy to fuel their growth during the warmest part of the day.

The basil is looking exceptionally lush, with broad, vibrant green leaves full of vigor. Nearby, the chilli plant is showing off its progress; a small green pepper is visible near the top, while a second has transitioned to a bright orange hue further down the stem. While the basil remains a deep green, some of the chilli foliage shows a lighter, yellowish tint under the afternoon sun.

We are monitoring a significant shift in soil moisture this afternoon. While the basil has dried down to 18.89%, the oregano has experienced a sharp decline to a critical 0.93%. Meanwhile, the chilli sensor remains at a constant 100%, and humidity has settled at 45.2% with a steady atmospheric pressure of 1010 hPa.

The plants are clearly responding to the midday warmth, though the thirsty oregano will need attention soon to keep up with the basil’s impressive pace. You can follow our live updates and see more at herbhub365.com.
