2 weeks ago i planted n was wondering why nothing growed then a while ago again i planted four seeds on the very small holes i made then covered it back with soil then after an hour i saw ants taking them away! :( :(
how do you get rid of them?! ok i cant get rid of them!! so how can i atleast protect my seed from them for a while? will they harm the plant?
so what other pest will i watch out for??
lmfao!! that's the funniest thin i've heard all day! i have never had that problem. i have had ants on a flowering female before though. right on the buds. i thought they may be harvesting the tricomes, hahah. maybe the ants wanted to grow their own, hahah. well maybe you could cut the top and bottom off of a coke bottle, so you have a plastic tube, and stick it half way out and half way in the soil....i don't know. or start them in pots until they're a little stronger. i don't think that the ants will do anything then.
I agree with Dylan on all accounts - including the real funny part. Never heard of that before, but if you've problems keeping the seeds, use a pot and keep it out of harms way till the plant has sprouted.
get a bottle cut the bottom off. place round the seed. also helps with humidity :) they wud have to be pretty desp to carry the seed over that lol
option 2, hook the ants up with a gd seeds company, problem sorted :)
really! im serious! they took all of them! they dug them out! i even put them in pots! thanks for the suggestion guys.. i'll try another.... my third try :( also im thinking of using those ant chalks.. but really??! youre not having problems with ants?!
spray a big circle around your seed hole / seed respositary with a strong insecticide. Make a barrier and they wont cross it. After a rain or water, reapply.
BTW....how many ants does it take to carry away one seed?
grow them indoors for the first two weeks.
HEY, maybe there the government's ants...........
LMFAO!! :))))) I cracked up just thinking about these ants running off with ur seeds
smash open their ant hill and unload on em with WD-40
the "tom and jerry" ants ? lol
