August 26th: Vibrant Peppers and Morning Growth

The greenhouse started the day with a steady climb in temperature. Between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM, the air warmed from a cool 20.5°C to a peak of 24.1°C. Humidity levels remained comfortable for the herbs, beginning at a moist 65.9% and tapering to 55.8% as the morning progressed.
Visually, the garden is thriving and full of life. The basil plants in the foreground are particularly lush, showing off broad, bright green leaves that indicate strong vigor. Nearby, the chili plant is a standout feature with several ripening peppers; one bright yellow fruit is clearly visible against the foliage, while another transitions into a deep orange, signaling that harvest is near.
Soil moisture sensors reveal varying needs across the pots. While the chili plant remains fully saturated at 100%, the basil has dipped slightly to 60.7%. The oregano is drying out more quickly, with its moisture levels dropping from 48.2% to 42.2% in just three hours. We are keeping a close eye on the oregano to ensure it stays hydrated as the day warms up.
Light levels remained relatively low throughout the morning, averaging 180 lux and peaking at 275.8 lux. This suggests a soft, diffused light filtered through the greenhouse glass. Despite the gentle lighting, the plants appear healthy and upright, supported by sturdy wooden stakes and a clean white framing system that keeps the garden organized and productive.
