Help how do I kill ants?
Well my plant is 4 weeks into flower and today I noticed little black ants crawling around in my soil. I have no idea where they came from. I started noticing the top leaves looking a big weird a couple days ago but didn't think anything of it but now I'm almost sure it's these ants. How the hell do I kill them without destroying my plant? Please help

I have never heard of ants doing any harm to a marijuana plant. They are just aerating your soil really. I would look into something else as the cause of your weird leaves

Are you sure they're ants and not fungus gnats before wings have formed?
Are you growing in planters?
Ants generally harvest pests, like aphids.
More of a nuisance than a dangerous pest. Probably wouldn't be there if no food was around.

There are no stupid questions . . . some are just easier to answer.

I'm growing indoors in a 2 liter water bottle as a pot. I started adding molasses to my water about a week ago. I'm positive they are ants. They move fast like ants and are small. Like baby ants. Hope they don't harm my plant and I don't have any bug problems. I never seen any bugs in my fox farm ocean forest when I planted so I'm pretty sure they aren't feeding on anything.

They may be ants but they will not harm your plant. Yes, molasses can attract them, but also other things. Ants basically help guard ur weed, like ladybugs and preying mantis'.
If however, you wish them to leave, put some molasses nearby....they will go for it. You can even name them.....

Thanks a lot crackerjax. Think I know why my top leaves are looking weird. I suspect it's a ph problem. Ph is below 6.0. Going to add some ph up and see if it goes up.

No worries.....
Ants are also the cleanest things alive. True fact.
