Finally got time to get back on here, 3 jobs sucks!
Does anybody know an organic way to get rid of fruit flies? I have a mob of them, they don't seem to be affecting growth but they bug me!
 
Those are most likely fungus gnats and are there because you have some sort of wet rotten or about to rot material around. Maybe your medium itself. If you are growing hydro then you may even have a sort of root rot and or pythium. The flies aren't too damaging but the larve eat your roots. you need a product called bactrol to rid your medium of the larve and some sticky traps to control the adults and their egg laying.
 
Mosquito Dunks. Same active ingridient. Safe to use too. You can get them at Home Depot or Lowes.
Just drop a dunk into your waterbucket and water the plants with it.
