Please tell me this isn't mold on my smart pot

[subb]

I just gave my plant her final flush, I've got like 1-2 weeks left of harvest. After the flush I noticed these white spots around the bottom of the smart pot. It seems to go all the way around, pretty much. Please tell me this isn't mold - is it just the salts from the final flush or something? It doesn't seem to smell or anything, and seems fairly consistent in being around the bottom of the smart pot. As I was draining my flush, the water level would rise to about that level for a minute, if that helps..
If it is..what can I do? Harvest early? Can I get rid of it somehow?
Very worried, thanks!

Yeah I was thinking that or even diluted bleach to spray on the outside.. Someone else said that it was salt and that they had the same thing, but someone else said it looked like mold. I'm gonna keep an eye on it for now.. Its not in the plant or anything so thats good..

Definatly looks like mold but there are many types, should you be worried, i don't know. Peace

that EXACT same thing happened with my smartpots. I saw some spots that looked like mold and when i inspected further some was mold, some was nutrient buildup. either way some hygrozyme or h202 will help! My babies ended up juuust fine!

Yeah, that hygrozome just might work. Never tried that but I would if I thought I needed it. post up and let us know what happens. Curious

Not bleach<don"t risk it

Thanks everyone. I sprayed it with hydrogen peroxide just to be safe, there was no bubbling or anything, and by what other people have said I'm completely convinced it's just salt deposits from the flush. Phew! I would have been so upset if I had to chop her down early!
