Easy boys does any one know why I'm getting a lot of salt residue on my coco I've only waterd the babies once and there it is white residue not loads but its there I'm using canna nutes I always get it why?

That's a tricky one mate.
Could be a combination of over nuting the water and then letting the coco dry out too much between waterings but if you've only watered them once it doesn't make sense.

I know I'm sure its the canna nutes I've only gone 10 ml per 10 ltrs ec 1.0 I do let it dry out but not that much and I I've been misting the top of the coco as its drying out quite quick in these airpots I've got wilkos nutrients but there for flower and not very high in N although I have got some potash of sulphate

Try watering more often so that the coco doesn't dry out as much.
Because coco doesn't hold loads of water like soil does salt build up is more extreme if you let it dry, you should try to keep coco moist (but not wet) at all times to combat this.
Salt build up fucks with your PH too, certain chemicals (Potassium Sulphate especially) don't dissolve in cold water very well (unless you pay more and get the better grade stuff) so as you water on top of dry salt crystals they don't dissolve and just build up and build up fucking with your PH even more causing different problems.
It's even more of a problem because all your nutes are synthetic with no organic component, that's not a bad thing it just means you have to be more vigilant with watering.
I'm just as guilty of letting my coco dry out too much, I'm getting lazy to be honest and need to shake out of it. lol
I've just spent 2 hours flushing my Grape Kush x Psychosis because I've not paid attention to the PH and new shoots are coming out white and whispy, I checked the PH and it was 6.7!........

not bad tip, currently revising for my exams next week , politics on thursday, english lit on friday then history the following week. my clones have rooted, lost 1 outta 12, 6 double dutch, 6 crystal kush, put 9 straight into 12/12 and threw the other two into a cupboard under a cfl as potential mothers. the 9 are in 7litre pots in coco and im just feeding them plant magic coco a + b with a little silica concoction as a foliar feed, decided i'd go turnabout with feeds.

Why?
Organic is absolutely pointless unless growing outside in the ground as it's all about looking after the soil.
I've been banging on about the organic scam for years but it falls on deaf ears.
