Doesn't look too bad, it would be all around the base of the pot where it sits in the saucer and around the rim on top.

If your really concerned with it being salt flush with pH balanced water no nutes and make sure you get a good amount t of run off to flush the build up of salts. That's what I would try but I'm a first time grower so wait for some one who knows what their talking about lol

It's not so much a problem yet, as the nature of feeding salt based nutrients. You're in soil I'm guessing? The problem with flushing soil is it takes forever to dry out again, takes away from time the plant could be thriving. Check out flying skull z7, I started using it recently myself. It's beneficial to your roots as well.

could be salt build up but I think you are using living soil and thats mycelium fungus forming. Much like it would on top of pot or a compost pile, air is hitting soil threw the hole. completely normal and healthy

You ignore it.

Bing you just can't flush soil, it's the nature of the beast. You live with it.

Actually you need an osmotic gradient to leach salts which means around a 300 PPM flush. If you're growing in soil leave leaching salt to the hydro folks. It's just not necessary in soil even if you get a little build up it does not create an issue.

How would I be able to tell the difference. And basically ur saying the mycelium fungus is healthy in my soil .?? If that’s the case I should leave it no? Lmao btw I am using FFHF

I wanna add. Still on both ends on mold or salt build up. This plants has been extremely slow compared to the other plant I have same strain same everything old why it’s going slow. But it started to stretch a bit a week after flowering and looks to be doing good now.

FFHF has both beneficial microbes and fungi in it so I would do nothing if the plant shows no signs.

salt would look like crystals , to me yours looks like the white hair like structure of mycelium fungus

Looks crystalized to me. Then again I grow hydro dtw and deal with salt build up every couple of weeks.

IDK I don't deal with salt build up I grow organic but to me it looks to be hair like and starting to grow up outside pot at left top of hole
