Calcium Dust from Humidifier

So I was using my towns tap water but the calcium dust was insane, like turn your plants white till you stick the leaves in a vacuum or wash them off. so i started using my parents well water which I swear is magic, but still has a slight run off of calcium dust.
Im about 35 days into flower, the buds are looking good, little underfed but fixing that. My question is, is the calcium dust bad for you? should i spray these plants with distilled or RO water to clean them up or just say F it and smoke em? Its making the triches look super visable, doubt the guys who grew the stuff i used to buy would care but still want to know, not trying to figure out this is how i ended up with the third eye on my back kinda thing

Few other things, i do have a carbon filter, i ofter clean it out or change the pre filter, just changed the one i have but still light white dust on my fan blades and very faintly on the buds making them look actually more frosty lol

Thanks guys

The mineral buildup is not great for filters. I have heard of it causing premature failure of them. If you have ro water at your disposal, fill the humidifier with that and just quit making the mineral buildup altogether.

To answer the original question, I do not know if it is bad for you being on the flower.

As far as ingestion goes the white stuff is just the salts dissolved in the water. If it was safe to drink liquid then the minerals are still safe to smoke (especially considering that smoking is not the most invigorating activity itself).
The usual applies. If you inhale too much dust your lungs won't appreciate that. Regardless the type of dust.
