Herb / Hub / Update
September 4: Humidity at the Hub

The sensors at Herb Hub 365 recorded a quiet, humid start to the day. Between 06:00 and 07:00 UTC, light levels climbed steadily from a dim 24.2 lux to 97.5 lux. The air remained cool and stable, averaging 17.5°C, offering a gentle environment for the plants to begin their morning growth.
Humidity peaked at 77.1% during the early hours, keeping the air thick and moist. Our soil sensors for the basil, chilli, and oregano are all reporting 100% moisture. While we don’t have specific data for the water reservoir today, it is clear the herbs are well-hydrated and thriving in these damp conditions.
The latest snapshot shows a lush sea of green, with the basil in the foreground looking particularly vibrant. Tucked behind the foliage, a single chilli has ripened into a waxy orange-yellow, providing a bright contrast to the herb bed. Although there are a few pale spots and slight browning on the tips of the larger leaves, the overall growth remains vigorous and well-supported by bamboo stakes.
It is a peaceful afternoon here at the Hub. With air pressure steady at 1004 hPa and the soil fully saturated, the herbs are well-positioned to soak up the remaining daylight. We will continue to monitor the humidity levels to ensure the basil and oregano stay comfortable as the evening approaches.
