if this is the problem you pm'ed me about.

It is a not neccesarily a salt BUILD up but if you are using liquid ferts. sometimes the salts from the ferts will not penetrate the top layer of the soil (it isn't to common but it does happen sometimes) it really isnt a big deal yet. But it can if you do not flush your soil. It will cause a salt build up. This COULD happen because your soil does not have enough drainage but that isn't always the case.

I would reccomend flushing it next water and then adding your ferts. If you dissolve the ferts in your water that you water with then I would flush with "non-ferted" water and then water with the "fert water" immediatly after that.

Peace
