Hello.
A deadly poison to ants is Borax. You find it in the laundry aisle.
Mix 1 teaspoon of borax with 3 to 4 teaspoons of sugar or honey into 1/2 cup of hot water. Let cool. Find some small plastic containers like sour cream or yogurt. Needs a lid and some small holes in the side big enough to let ants in and out.
Put some small pieces of bread inside to soak up most of the liquid. Pour enough Borax mix in to be soaked up by the bread with just a bit of liquid in the bottom.
The ants drink the liquid and bring the soaked bread bits back to the nest for the young and the queen to eat.
Place to containers around the plants and the ants should be gone in a week or so.
This mix is almost non toxic to humans and pets but might make the pet not feel very good if they eat the bread. So keep a lid on it.
Chuck.

You can sprinkle some diatomaceous earth in the saucer and around the floor of your tent... any insect that walks over it will be dead within 24 hours and it's organic. The only downside to it is that it will not work if it gets wet - so if it does get wet, you'll have to reapply - but your problem will be gone.
Good luck!

Nitrogen Toxicity?Not sure if this is nitrogen toxicity or normal leaf color. Crinkling was caused by too much light and the fan. Got better in 24h after adjusting grow light and fan. Plants are starting week 2 of veg, Hulkberry Auto. Medium is light mix soil.

Day 49 autoflower huge and not yet flowering. Help!Day 49 autoflower not flowering? She's huge and I'm running out of room in the tent (58" and my tent is only 6 ft). Should I flip the tent to 12/12? Do I then keep it 12/12 the rest of the grow? How will that affect the Day 30 plant? Should I add 2nd light for smaller plant?

My Girl's Gone Rogue with 10cm of Frosty Goodness!My lady decided to shatter the whole "week 10 harvest" and instead shoot 10cm, packing new flowers whiter than a yeti's behind in a blizzard!
This genetic curveball beats me.
Do I let her keep this frosty stretch, or do I harvest and let this mutant masterpiece become a solo act

18 weeks, but I'm not sure she's ready.The plant is 18wks old. Leaves are getting yellow, some buds are so fat the branches bend under the weight.
I'm worried some pistons are still white and I can still see some clear trichoms, but she's 3 weeks after the recommended date of harvesting.
Do you think she's ready?
