Hi Folks!

I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this one.

I've got a problem with ants. A very big problem. Its my outdoor grow. Now when I say outdoor it really is outdoors. There's a post floating about here somewhere about the site - its in a valley, near a beautiful river.

Its the standard little black ant - monomorium min... But there are millions of them. If you stand still for 2 seconds they will cover you from toe to knee. I have no idea where the main nest is. When we setup the area we thought we'd chased them away - used soapy water, then tobacco tea and finally... actual insectacide. They were gone for a few weeks but now they're back. With a vengence.

Theres no damage to stems, leaves or shoots, in fact the girls are rocking - no other noo-noo's trying to get a free lunch - but I'm sure the little ant dudes are going to start at the roots if they haven't already...

Anyone got some novel ideas on chasing them away? I will consider acts of extermination... but if it turns out that they will kindly share the area without causing trouble then groovy, they can stay for now - even though working in blistering heat with ants crawling all over you is really shit.

Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks for the advice guys. Has anyone heard of using cinnamon? Apparently this is kryptonite to the ants... don't suppose anyone has tried it before?

I'm going to give it a shot this weekend and I'll report back with results.

Thanks again for the help, next step is borax... despite crop circles clearly showing each plant ;-)

Purpose of Strain Hunters

Our planet is home to millions of species of animal and plants with their own habitat, and each plays a unique role in the perfect design of nature. Unfortunately many species of plants and animals are victim of uncontrolled human development. The sole intent of Strain Hunters is to identify, locate and retrieve cannabis landraces that have not yet been studied, in order to give scientists and doctors the possibility to further enhance knowledge of the cannabis plant in the medicinal field.


Preservation of Landraces

Cannabis, one of the most ancient plants known to man, used in every civilisation all over the world for medicinal and recreational purposes, is facing a very real threat of extinction. One day these plants could be helpful in developing better medications for the sick and the suffering. We feel it is our duty to preserve as many cannabis landraces in our genetic database, and by breeding them into other well-studied medicinal strains for the sole purpose of scientific research.

Cannabis should not be illegal


One of the goals of the United Nations, published years ago in official reports, was to wipe out the cannabis plant from the face of the earth by the year 2010. In reality this is far from being achieved, because man keeps using the cannabis plant for religious, medicinal and recreational purposes no matter what the law says. Most cultures cannot comprehend how a plant can be made illegal. In most people’s perception, plants and animals stand above a status of legality or illegality, they just exist in a higher design of nature that goes beyond human laws and regulations.

Nevertheless most governments of cannabis- producing countries are implementing drastic measures to destroy crops. Dangerous chemicals are sprayed over fields and over the farmers themselves in most of the third world countries, and the poorest people of the planet are the ones paying the highest price for cultivating a plant that does not kill. But in the economy of scale, where demand dictates supply, the poorest people of the planet have no choice but to cultivate cannabis as a cash crop to feed their children and send them to school. Communities that are isolated in remote areas in the poorest regions of the planet are often the keepers of very special landraces.
