Ok so check this out, got 2 nice trees(being key word). They are the biggest have ever had. One has pink hairs, the other one is still getting taller and dont know why. It has to stop, this one isnt as far along in flowering process as the other one(possibly more sativa-ish). And one bad thing is that there is some light that gets to them at night, they are in nature but there are some electric light that reaches them at nighttime period. Dont have a light meter but i would predict it being 1-2 out of ten. Its not alot and they seem fine, except the one that is still producing linear growth. Got a question about ants and basically just wanna know if they are harming the roots?

if i were you i would move it. it only takes one candle watt to mess up flowering. so if its getting light all night from the street light ya need to move it. also the ants dont harm the plant but their excretions do. when the ant poops around the roots their poop is very acidic and you will have a lot of problems with the ph. so yea i would move it to get it in darkness and away from ants

Sure must be a bitch for all them schwag growers when the moon is out.... this is one of the most overspread myths on RIU, besides the one about not cutting off leaves or branches. Plants in nature make it just fine through full moon cycles, why do you think a far off electric light would harm them when one is obviously flowering? Surely they are two different strains, which seems obvious from the op. And moving his plant won't get it away from ants. They'll be in the root ball silly :)

The ants will not mess with your roots, they are aerating the soil, HOWEVER, it is likely they are there for another food source that very well may harm your plants. Inspect carefully your plants for signs of aphids or leaf borers.

Good luck. Oh, you could try bending the tall one and staking the top down.

Leaf borers = leaf miners? I got some in my lemon and orange tree and cant get rid of them fuckers. Its driving me nuts as i plugged off most of the leaves i seen them in.

Yea i was pretty sure that it the amount of light wasnt harming them cuz both these plants look healthy and not stunted at all, except for quite a good amount of leaves dying, im pretty sure its a fertilizer issue and i use rainwater saved in tin buckets which is pretty good i think. Yea, have a few ties already in place and been adding and adjusting some. I had already read up on the aphids and the ants, how the ants are like a harborer and aid for aphids because the aphids excrete some type of sweet dew that the ants like. And yes one is more indicaish and the taller is def more sativaish but has cross leaves like 60/40 maybe. the more indicaish one smells so sweet, and looks cool with its hot vibrant pink hairs lol. and i also had a few thoughts about photosynthesis and natural light occurrences at night, like lightning and full moons other random phenomenons. I need to start more threads, i have read picked up so much knowledge and there needs to be some more interesting threads on here anyways.. :mrgreen: :joint: :peace:

I am looking forward to sampling some of this years harvest. Not as much rain this year like last year. There was a news report of some guy hauling his harvest that stop to get a coffee with fresh buds in the car. Now that's a lesson on just plain dumb.
