It has been a warm, productive Wednesday in the greenhouse. Temperatures peaked at 28.12°C, while humidity fluctuated between 40.3% and 65.9%. Modest light levels, averaging 225 lux, provided a gentle environment for the herbs as they transitioned from the morning glow into the late afternoon.

The basil is showing impressive volume, filling the frame with lush, broad leaves, though some older foliage is showing patches of yellow-green. Nearby, the chilli plant is a standout, displaying several bright orange peppers ripening beautifully against a wooden support stake.

Soil moisture levels have shifted significantly today. The basil dipped from a well-hydrated 63.59% to 50.87%, while the oregano has dried out to 23.59%. Most notably, the chilli sensor dropped from a saturated 100% to 0%, suggesting we need to check if the plant is extremely thirsty or if the sensor requires maintenance.

As the sun sets and light levels dip to 60 lux, the greenhouse is cooling from its afternoon highs. We are keeping a close watch on the drying soil to ensure the oregano and chilli receive the attention they need before the day ends. Follow our live updates and data tracking at www.herbhub365.com.
