neem oil/water 50:50 mix sprayed onto the plants should get rid of them if not theres many ready mixed products available

i"m in the same boat. Started noticing them a week ago. there where only a few but woke up today and checked the girls and now theres like 50 of them.. crawling on the top soil and rim of the pot. im on my second week of flowering. is it ok to use neem oil still?

id try to avoid spaying buds... but neem oil or chemicals i kno which id rather have on my plants
it will probably leave a residue on the leafs but tht can be cleaned off by spraying with clean water or just left on

Just checked out that website. That seems like a good product to use after i get rid of the fruit flies. I need something that"ll work now.

The flies aren't really on the plant it self. The are more just crawling aroung on top of the soil and around the edge of the pot.

i believe they are fungus gnats as i had them my first time, the guy at the hydro store told me thats what they were called and he said they usually come from eggs that are in the soil

++thanks for the rep bigV

OK thanks. Yeah the soil i bought was stored outside. Never had an issue till i toped off the pots wit this new soil. I'll never buy soil from outdoors again.

You would think this would be obvious and I am perplexed at the fact it is the first time seeing it and the fact I never thought of it.
