Fruit Flies - DWC - Clay Pebbles - General Hydroponics Expert Recirculating Nutrient Schedule

[MiloF]

Guy.. Could use some help. Second grow, two weeks away from harvest. I took out the tent in my garage room, painted the walls white.. blah blah.. hate tents. . Switched from LeD to an HPA.

Went to water them, and when I lifted the lid fruit flies poured out of two of them. I set traps, those red little apple ones, not one fruit fly in there.

Using 7 gallon buckets, with a basket/ clay pebble medium.

Worried there going to eat out the roots. Is there something other then traps to prevent it? How do I stop it?

Two weeks away from harvest.

it's just vinegar and soap or some shit in those apples, they i would assume have an insanely small range with an area like that. have you tried a larger pan using the same ingredients? like scale up that apple about 10-20x and see if that can attract them? fruit flies are nasty little shits

I always use microbe lift bmc, it's a larvacide that kills them off yet safe for humans, animals, and plants. itll take care of your problem in short order. Good luck!

It’s probably fungal gnats. They frickin love hydro.

I didn’t think of that.. That’s a great idea, I’ll give it a try. Thank you for the suggestion.
