Bug Inside Nute Bottle

Hey guys, I found a bug that got inside my Nute Bottle 2. Should I discard the bottle or is it ok to still use it?

You can use the bottle still, PH down definitely killed it. Use a Q tip to get it out? I’ll share the photo with the team, might have been hard to see fly in for sure.

It probably is. My sticky trap catches a lot of them!

You can put like a snail sticker screen on it I had that problem also . Organic neem oil also keep them out just add to small container and put inside grobo

That’s actually a gd choice I had a nat problem early in my first grow ever since I used neem oil no nat issues since then :+1:t2::dash::seedling:

@Aang One word of caution with neem oil yes it works but it can really alter the taste of the buds… In veg you should be ok… If your in flower I wouldn’t use neem oil

Thanks for the info! That makes me think if I should just stick to my sticky trap which works well to catch gnats/bugs
