04/08/24 The little Gorilla popped out. Kept it in a glass of water for about 24 hours, then between moist cotton pads for another ~12. It took about 2 days from there for it to pop out!

11/08/24 First week for Royal Gorilla. Growing in a Click & Grow and moving it around the apartment for extra sun through the windows. It stretched quite a bit and at 5cm tall, was having trouble standing up. I have supported it slightly with a hairpin. Watering very lightly and very rarely.

18/09/2024 Two weeks! The Gorilla really stretched this week, needing support from an emotional support hairpin. On day 10 I transplanted it into a bigger pot. It did not seem at all bothered by it.

25/06/2024 - Three weeks! This week LST started. There has been basically no growth at the nodes, I am hoping LST will helps with this and promotes new node development. In hindsight, I should have adjusted my LST way more often on a plant this fragile, as it lead to a very twisted main stem.

01/09/2024 - Four weeks! On Day 23 this became a tent grow. The varying weather and a SpiderFarmer sale had motivated me to move this operation indoors from my windowsill and balcony. Watering is a topic, as the Lechuaza pots take very long to dry out, even though I water a very small volume of about 1.5L that did not dry fully out in 6 days. In the last few days of this week I have adjusted my LST according to some feedback here on my question. Combined with the SF1000 light, the growth at other nodes is explosive! The days here have been relatively hot, so that there is about 30 degrees in the tent. Maintaining humidity with a wet sponge, pouring water on the tent floor (pots not in it) as well as spraying/misting the walls of the tent for more evaporation that provides a temporary fix.
