Last night I went out for a smoke & noticed termites had begun flocking to my light & plants on the back porch. So I observed & killed as many as possible but am virtually certain that some made it up into the pots through the drain holes. I turned out the light to stop attracting them, especially because it’s on my f’n house.

This morning no activity & looked up termites in potted plants on the interweb… there were a few old posts on the other cannabis forums & plenty on other garden sites.
Since this is my weed, I can’t go at it chemically, but thankfully most are still 1 gallon size & can be repotted immediately. But a couple are bigger pots & will need some termite bait/poison & cardboard I guess.
Crazy lesson learned. This will make my growing even more of a challenge as it means moving the light way the f*ck away from the house.
