    It's just chemical precipitate.
     
    I garden using my own hand crafted soil mixes, no bottled nutes, and still see the same build up on the outside of my SmartPots.
     
    It's not mold.  Nothing to worry about...

    I doubt it's mold, BUT if your really concerned about it you can spray a light hydrogen peroxide mix on the outside. No need to soak the pot though.

    Time for a flush. Most bottled nutes have salt in them and it builds up over time. If it happens in the soil it can affect p.h and or cause nutrient lock out.
    That's the answer I got when I asked the same question as you. Lol. I use soil is smart pots.
