it's getting hotter and hotter these days and pests wouldn't fucking leave my plants, nothing biggie with some.. something very biggie with others.
i first noticed ants like few days ago, mainly on 1 plant, some of em got to others as well, but have seemed to disappear after spraying the gals with neem oil.
i started freaking out about the ants and sprinkled some cinnamon on top of the soil, did it with only 4 out of 8 females i've got, others didn't seem to be infected.
so i got back from work today and seen something amazing happening.. the 1 plant that had most ants is loaded with them, i could see like 20 ants on 1 leaf, so i investigated the same leaf and notice something crazy. im pretty sure what i saw was tons of yellow spider mites on the same leaf! ants seem to eat them!
so my question is.. WTF?! i read tons of stuff about ants and cannabis and there seem to be few kinds that actually harm and eat the leaves, leafcutter ant is one i read about in many forums/posts.
now.. how the hell can i recognize an ant? i tried to use my lups, but it seems almost impossible to catch a static ant in its place.
you guys think that there's any chance that the ants were 1stly attracted to this specific plant cus of its spidermite problem?
im gonna try to take a pic, it is truly an AMAZING sight!
