Newbie First Grow - Outdoors - Bag Seeds
Hi lilred,
Wow, busy couple days, eh? Glad you were able to re-home them. Don't be surprised if they get shocky and leaves start having all sorts of issues. The flowering ones might even try to reveg some. Funky things might happen, but keep them happy with the kelp tea and watch for growth.
Edit: After all they've been through I bet the buds are going to be really sticky and full of trichs.

I only have one that lives close....and I spoil him....he will be five in October and he is so smart. I am so happy he starts school next week and will be going to the only school in the county that starting this year will be teaching the kids Spanish, French and Italian starting in kindergarten all the way thru 6th grade.
Lilired, I don't know anything about the residual effects (or the unintended consequences) of ant poisons. But it can't be good. The ants may have extensive networks below ground and your plants roots may grow right into a pocket of poison. Not to mention the rain percolating it into the ground water.
Are there compounds in the poison that the plant will take up? IDK. But it sounds scary to me.
What about pouring a kettle of boiling water in the holes? Might take 2 or 3 trys a couple days apart, but you're not sprinkling carcinogens all around.

God, I feel for you. I just went through this with my late husband's brother, who lives beneath my apartment and for whom I was growing. Had to tear down 10 plants.Good luck with the move. They'll be fine. As for the son..... I have a disappointing one myself who threw me away at the insistence of an angry wife. Unfortunately, we can't control who they choose to grow into or who they marry. I've had to accept that he may not be my true son after all.
It shouldn't happen to you any more than it should have happened to me. The pain is constant, but he's not staring me in the face either or threatening me. You deserve better. Let him move.
I am proud of you. I know it must have been hard.. Keep going though. It is ad when family turn on you.. I cry when I hear that. Both you and SweetS made me cry today.
One thing to be judgemental about cannabis and another to drive loved ones away in these manners.
and many hugs to both of you- Thread starter

I will look at the bag night after work. If the rain would stop I could sprinkle the diatomaceous earth around and get rid of them...but with the rain...boiling water might be just what I need.
If they're fire ants, this is OMRI certified (organic):

I dont know about fire ants.but normal ants hates cinnamon.. if you have it try that until you get the other stuff..

The promised rain did not show so i had my fella sprinkle some Diatomaceous earth around the area..I did not look for the ants last night when I went to water them. I just watered....looked them over and back home I came.
It felt weird coming home from work yesterday and not having plants here. After work I usually go back to the garden before I go n in the house. And when i get up on the am I make a cup.of coffee and back to the garden to wipe the dew from the leaves and walk the garden. Now I cant. I sit in my lazy boy and try to find a new norm.
I am new to all this...remember that when I give my limited advice

All plants will speak to you if you let them. The new ones you planted in the holes need some love too 
Im not allowed here to have an outdoor garden (condo rules), but Im serously thinking about a 2nd, larger tent for the vegies I have been growing along side my girls. Its a lot of fun figuring out the diferent needs of the other plants...the peppers for example do NOT like the same soil I use in my grows and I have had to adjust....but the green leaves make me smile 
There is something about the smell of earth and the life in a growing thing that is relaxing.

That must have been a horrible predicament
Scary as well. I'm glad you got everything out. I had to move mine from ground to container twice in my life and had to deal with minor and major plant shock. I'm glad you served your son even though it must have been hard but blackmail is a low blow especially to family. Good luck

A couple of weeks ago...don't know exact date cuz I did not expect it to make it....I took the top two nodes off a plant...wanted to see what would happen....anywho....yes I said anywho...I just put some rooting powder on the stem and stuck it in dirt....I put it in the greenhouse and about twice a day I would spray the leaves....I think it has roots. I will post a pic tonight after work. It is the only plant I still have at my house and it is sitting in a pot in my window sill
Nice! 
You might want to move it too, though, just to be safe!

I am hoping that if they knock on the door I will have time to flush it as it is in my bathroom window...which cannot be seen from anywhere and when u see it in th pot tonight u will see what I mean. It will have to moved if it keeps growing....I guess having one at home that I can tend to makes me feel a little normal. My mind still has not wrapped all the way around what is going on.
I found out this am that he stole my food card out my room. I take my monthly food budget and put it on a walmart gift card and use that to shop with. I caught him before he spent all 700.00 and was able to cancel it. After work I will just go to walmart and get another card. He spent 85.00 and was trying g to put thru 180.00 this morning when I cancelled it

Lilred, I can't even imagine what you're going through. Sending lots of prayers and a cyber hug. Keep your mind busy with good things and make sure you love up your other kids.

I'm not suggesting you do it, but you could have him arrested for that; and, it may not be bad to let him know it's not out of the realm of possibility if he continues with his BS!

I had a local officer that is friends with my fella pay him a visit at his girlfriend house. He told him to cut it out before he lands himself in jail and told him I put up cameras so if he comes to the house prior to eviction he will be recorded and if he moves any of the camera they will assume he is stealing again and he will go to jail. He also told him that after the eviction if he is caught on the property he will go to jail and since I have a gun permit I can shoot him or anyone he has with him.
The officer told me that he is not going to listen and I am going to have to call the police. He gave the officer lip.
What happened to my child????? Where did my son go??????
Geez, Red, I'm real sorry to hear what you're going through!
The only POSSIBLE words of wisdom I have is that you should set boundaries for yourself and if he exceeds those boundaries, you should follow through with consequences. I'm NOT, for a second, suggesting you shoot him or his friends (unless your life is truly in danger!) but pressing charges, or some other serious consequences, may be what he needs if he's that far gone.
I know you have the whole
