pistils are showing but only on the top of plant,and my branches are more like stubs,.i dont think they will form buds,waiting another week and if they dont shown signs of pistils im going to trim them off so it pays more attention on formaing a main cola...

is this a good idea or no....

and also my soil never really gets dry the bottom of the pot is always very moist,idk what to do im thinking i may get root rot,but the plant is very green besides two 1st set of fan leafs turning yellow....

and i also have ants crawling into the holes of the pot.i cant get rid of them driving me nuts....i dont know if there harmful or not.any ideas.

thanks
