ANTS!!! please help

so i got 8 plants bout 3 months old. started em' indoors and put them outside to flower. I was transplanting my widow into the ground, and when i took her out of the pot, ants were crawling up my arm. The whole root system is infested with ants and i seen those little fuckers carrying like little eggs around, so i guess they've been there awhile. This is my second grow, first outdoor so i have no idea what to do. The plant looks healtly otherwise, but there were soooo many ants. None of the other plants were infested, but i dont want to lose my only widow. please tell me if ants are even bad, and if so, how to get rid of them. Not knowing what to do, i transplanted into a pretty deep hole filled with a mixture of peat and peralite. Today, i watered like a gallon hoping to drown those fuckers. Any advise would be helpful . thanks

There are ant killin baits/traps at Home Depot...get em..get em quick.

good luck

bt dt

ok dont lose your mind i had ants to so i took them in side and removed the dirt and picked the ants one by one easy money your plant will slow growth for about a week or so then your good

yea, im not really sure how big of a problem ants really are. had experience with them before, not sold on how they're a problem. Good luck just the same

i have ants all around my plants and they are still healthy so far

yea, thats what got me. the plant seems healthy. I allready transplanted into the ground though..... so picking them out one by one isnt really an option. And there were way too many for that anyway. Does anyone know if ants are really a death sentence if untreated, or what i can do if i transplanted into the ground?

the only thing i can see happening with ants is them maybe chewing through root matter while expanding their little colony or w-e u got going on in there. I'd just chill and see what happens unless you really wanna dig that bugger up again to deal with them ants.

i was wanting to start some plants indoors and start flowering them indoors then move them out to finish flowering do you know if iyt works withe differance imn light and darkness,cant get 12 hours perfect darkness outside.
