Is this mold on my fabric pot?

[majjy_rane]

Hi Guys, i started my first grow 2 months ago ever since the plant looks healthy (on coco, PH ~5.9, no defficiencies, taloning, curling etc) but about 4 weeks ago at the bottom of the fabric pots as there appeared white stains and im not sure if that is mold or rest of salts. I didn't use mykorizea aswell. Could this be some kinda sort of a mykorizea from my invironment? (my growbox stands in my bathroom) as already mentionend they stll looking good and not mold on the plant at all. should i panic or not?

Salts

Salts or from the water. You're good no worries and happy growing!

as above, little tip with fabric pots put something below them to raise them of the floor / tray to let air underneath them.

does a layer of hydroton (3/4 inch) at the bottom do the trick aswell?

 

[zypheruk]

no, use a little plant stand or some upvc pipe cut to say an inch and use 3 or 4 bits.

Egg crate light diffusers from the box stores work well.

Cleaning that off entirely will be near impossible. I had that problem on one of my Vivosun fabric pots. Did everything possible. Washed like 10 times.

No not really. I am just OCD and like my shit looking fresh.

I've got this growing on my pots.

Soak it in white vinegar and water for 24 hours. That will dissolve whatever is embedded into the pot. Use 1 cup of white vinegar to 1 gallon of water, then rinse it in clean water, and you will have a like-new pot!

Your nute choices and feedings are what causes it.
So imagine your roots sitting in that shit.

I just started these like 5 wks old. They are in fox farm ocean Forest. I haven't give any nutes. Watering with well water
