The greenhouse began August 27, 2026, with a steady climb in light levels, reaching 730 lux by 9:00 AM. This morning sun brought a corresponding rise in humidity to 72.7%, creating a lush, tropical atmosphere for the herbs. With air temperatures averaging a comfortable 20.7°C, the environment remains stable and supportive for the day’s growth.

The basil continues to thrive with dense clusters of bright green leaves, though we have noticed some slight yellowing on the older foliage. Soil moisture for the basil is holding steady at 45%, while the oregano is sitting a bit drier at 21%. The surrounding structure and piping remain clean and well-ordered as the plants continue to fill out the space.

The standout feature this morning is the chilli plant, which is now sporting at least two bright orange peppers. While the chilli sensor is currently reporting 0% moisture, the vibrant health of the ripening fruit suggests a sensor calibration issue rather than a thirsty plant. We are keeping a close eye on the data as these peppers reach their peak.

Overall, the consistent temperatures and rising humidity provide an excellent foundation for our herbs. The plants look vigorous and healthy, and we look forward to seeing how the rest of the week progresses as the harvest nears.
