Flies dont eat trichomes do they?

[torossia1171]

There's like tiny little black flies in my grow closet and they're small, should I be worried about them eating the trichomes which are just about to form or no insect poses a threat to the trichomes?

 

[PadawanWarrior]

Depends on the fly.

I thought trihomes were designed to defend a plant from herbivores and insects?

Flies have no teeth. They regurgitate stomach contents and wait for it to soften to the point they can lick it up with their tongues. So probably not getting trichomes. Don't worry.

WTH was that in? Lol. I saw it on film in food handlers school in 1966. Black and white film. People eating. A fly. Shows the guy shoo the fly away. Then back up for the closeup.

Fly lands on the bread. Rubs his legs and hurls on the bread. Then here comes the hand to shoo him away. Before the poor guy can even eat ya know? Next closeup Dad's bread is going in and going down.

Man did you get the royal riu welcome. Yeah trichs defend the plant by catching the bugs, like sticky traps.

dont worry about it. the flies are eating the bacteria on the soil. what you should worry about is the larvae eating your plant's roots.
