I have never seen this in my life! My girl is LST'd so i dont really do much except check for bugs and spray, the usual, i had noticed some ants a week back but thought i had it under control.. I checked my girls last night, i didnt notice anything out of the ordinary, so i checked my plant about 30 min ago and a limb looked very wilted, i was like oh shit! I take the tie off the affected limb and as I go to pick the limb up to look under it. The whole limb fell out!! What the . In the stem is a smll hole! so i cut the branch down a little and stick her in bottle of water and tie a bag around her hopefully she roots. I go back to look at the hole and fucking ants are just swarming in there. Seriously!!!!??? so i spray some pesticide in them let it dry a little, put a little aloe to heal it, and place some electrical tape around the stem to cover the hole. I checked the rest of the plant and thats the only place i saw affected. Can i put a little seven dust on the soil? What can i use for these ants? Help please!!
Attack of the ants!

You probably have aphids. Ants & aphids go hand in hand. Get some dr Zymes, Castile soap, or neem oil
I have neem oil. Ill go ahead and give them a spray tonight and tomorrow do you think thats too much?

Diatomaceous earth works great against the ants, create a “salt circle” around the plant and they won’t cross.
