So I was hoping some of the more chemically minded individuals could help me with an issue I might have.
I am using the apple cider vinegar and sugar ghetto fruit fly trap (i.e. a bottle with a funnel going down to my liquid mixture). This trap works pretty well minus the smell associated with an open container of vinegar. So here is the issue:
My grow room is small and self contained. I am wondering what type of gas the vinegar and sugar mixture releases as it evaporates. In turn, will this gas harm my babies at a high ppm in the air? The overwhelming smell of vinegar got me thinking of fermentation. If this stuff emits a little CO2 thats not bad, but what if it emits something caustic and harmful.....
Any help would be appreciated as I am not well versed in chemistry or what vinegar is comprised of other than fermented apple juice???????
