Narrative: Plants were watered two times. It was necessary to close the GreenHab door because of the strong wind. The fan has been turned on (at minimum level) when the GreenHab reached almost 40°C.
Due to the Indoor thermometer of the GreenHab seems to being uncalibrated, an observational experiment was performed during the day: the information of 5 different indoor thermometers were recollected every hour. Then, the average temperature of every hour was calculated. Tomorrow another run of the experiment will be performed.
Harvested: 5g Basil + 1g Sage
