If you’re applying organic material I can see thats why, are u sure they are normal flies? get a good close up for bug Id confirmation
Yes they are big black flies They look lotta different than the fungus gnats ..it's weird tho they come and go haven't seen any in the last hour ..and I do I sit there and look at my plants all day doing Pest Prevention lmao...ready to set up my tent
Oh shit Wtf that's the last thing I need...I thought it might of been because I hadn't sprayed anything in 2 days but damn

If you spread on organics = the flies will def want it and many bugs. is it a bad thing? Not really

Many fertilizers and supplements smell like fish / cow / bird shit. Plus … many have urea based nitrogen sources.
Bugs will happen - both pest and beneficial.

Yea I have a ton of beneficial hoverflies that just keep multiplying..there's like 15 of em out there on 3 plants right now..only thing is they don't seem to mess with the leafhoppers

I even noitce from my yellow traps will also catch the regular flies , I use the traps mainly to look for fungus gnats but ethier way when I first top dress and FG aren’t present ill get a bunch of reg flies catched in those traps. ethier way I suggest if using organics as a good IPM and knowing ur pest pressure/population to have yellow traps ontop or on above the medium
Ok I have them below the medium wedged In my plant risers, still catch allt but I'll try above
