What can I do to stop or slow this from spreading? Same thing happened last grow but at a faster rate
Could I run h202 through just 1 feed or spray the outside of the pots with h202?
Growing in coco/perlite

Are you sure it’s not just dry salts from the medium?

I wouldn't worry about it if the plants are happy.

No problem, fungal life is beneficial for your soil.

Ya, I was gonna say the same thing. The orange stuff looks like it might be a beneficial fungi. The white could be too, but my first guess would be Ca for the white stuff. I have no idea though. I'm just talking out my ass.

I had no idea that it could get salty, I just assumed it was mould as it started to smell a tad fishy when it started

I would taste it. That way you know for sure. Salts will taste salty. Just don't swallow.

I grow straight organic soil with RO water and all my fabric pots wind up looking like this, indoors or out. As long as you have good airflow and they aren't sitting in puddles of water for an extended time, you'll be fine. Just make sure you have a fan that circulates air at the soil level.

Ah, the old mechanics trick to test what fluid is leaking from your car.
