Your welcome dude if you need any help or advice just message me I'll do what I canThank youthis is what I was looking for. Running outside as we speak
Will do thanks man! Now I gotta figure out how I’m gonna kill these ants in the morningYour welcome dude if you need any help or advice just message me I'll do what I can
Will do thanks man! Now I gotta figure out how I’m gonna kill these ants in the morning
Imma need that luckGood luck, there will always be a few survivors.
If you had a chest freezer then I'd of suggested that as the best method, they die overnight and add a bit of fertilizer to the soil...
For future use or garden use mix boric acid and sugar they will carry it back to the nest and wipe themselves out in 3 to 4 days
Yeah bake those lil suckers just be careful when heating if you overcook the soil it's as good as deadImma need that luckfreezer isn’t an option unfortunately. I’m thinking either baking the ants alive or De I like how they’re tiny shards of glass that shred through the ants .
It’s not instant they walk through do damage then die and de isn’t going to kill the eggs.Imma need that luckfreezer isn’t an option unfortunately. I’m thinking either baking the ants alive or De I like how they’re tiny shards of glass that shred through the ants .
Gotcha yea I was reading that on other forms too. It kills all the beneficial microbesYeah bake those lil suckers just be careful when heating if you overcook the soil it's as good as dead
If you use the DE it's deffo the safest option and once the adults are dead the eggs will shrivel and die plus any that may hatch, but they shouldn't, will be ruined by the remaining DE.It’s not instant they walk through do damage then die and de isn’t going to kill the eggs.
Maybe De first wait a couple days then bake?It’s not instant they walk through do damage then die and de isn’t going to kill the eggs.
You can relatively easily get those microbes and necessary bacteria back in there it will just cost the same if not more as buying a fresh bag tho I always lean towards a strain specific custom mix. And would advise anyone growing all same strain to do the same.Gotcha yea I was reading that on other forms too. It kills all the beneficial microbes
De will do, no need to bake after thatMaybe De first wait a couple days then bake?
I definitely want to get into custom organic mixes. It’s only my second grow ever!

How much de would u recommend for a big bag of ffofDe will do, no need to bake after that
For a 50L bag of soil, you should use about 1 to 2 cups (roughly 240-480 milliliters) of DE, depending on the severity of the ant infestation.How much de would u recommend for a big bag of ffof
It is, if you use the right size pot with a well supported soil mix you won't need any nutrients until mid flowering and even then it's not 100% needed you'll just get bigger thicker buds if you do use them.I definitely want to get into custom organic mixes.

It’s a 42.5 liter bag of soil so like 1 and a half cups? It’s bad when I opened it I saw at least a couple hundred thousand on the surface. Sweet thanks for all the help man means a lot!For a 50L bag of soil, you should use about 1 to 2 cups (roughly 240-480 milliliters) of DE, depending on the severity of the ant infestation.
Here’s how to apply it:
Mixing: Spread the DE evenly throughout the soil. It’s best to work the DE into the soil so that ants moving through the soil will come into contact with it. You can either:
Pour small amounts of DE directly into the soil and mix it thoroughly, or
Sprinkle DE on the surface of the soil and use a garden tool or gloves to mix it in evenly.
Surface Layer: After mixing, a thin layer of DE can also be sprinkled on top of the soil to ensure that any ants still on the surface come into contact with it.
This should be sufficient to target any ants in the bag while being safe for plants and soil. Let me know if you’d like more details on the mixing process or anything else!

Exactly! Once I use up all my cronk synthetic nutrients I’m going organic and never going back. Damn bro you’re killing it fr. I saw what you’re growing and it looks amazing I just don’t know how your gonna smoke all thatIt is, if you use the right size pot with a well supported soil mix you won't need any nutrients until mid flowering and even then it's not 100% needed you'll just get bigger thicker buds if you do use them.
Ah fair enough, just like me. This is my first serious grow ever I've had a few in cupboards over the years but never went all in like nowHave spent 20 years reading grow info listening to podcasts and watching YouTubes talk on every aspect of growing I would encourage you to get into a couple growing based podcasts or YouTubers if you haven't already.
There's so much I know about so many aspects of growing but it's still a drop in the ocean on what there is to know and everyday I learn multiple new things and/or random grow info.
Now I'm testing myself with a crazy grow to see if it has all paid offsearch epsilon you'll see my grow
Nope it's called yu gi oh, a card game based by an animeI watched this earlier when you posted like 5 times and then had to come back to it right now! At least 5 times! It’s F’n hilarious! The other dudes reactions really ties it all together!!are they playing Magic?
Synth nutrients are great if you just want to focus on bud density and/or overall yeild but if you want that real flavour organic is the only way to go and using a UV-B light the last few weeks of flowering, there's probably a sweet middle ground between using synth nutrients for yeild and UV-B light for increasing potency and flavour. That's a test someone with a much larger space needs to try.Exactly! Once I use up all my cronk synthetic nutrients I’m going organic and never going back. Damn bro you’re killing it fr. I saw what you’re growing and it looks amazing I just don’t know how your gonna smoke all that. YES! I love watching all the YouTubers from the small weedtubers to the big guys so much information to learn!! I gotchu epsilon
