What is this on my pots?

It looks like some build up from the water or the nutes or the perlite/vermiculite.

How do I get rid of it?

have you tried soaking in a vinegar solution? I know CLR would work but I'd probably dillute that, and make sure its washed off the pots well with a scrub brush

Try to remove it with some vinegar.
If that doesn't work try some ph- straight from the bottle. (Be carefull! Don't let it come in contact with your skin or eyes).

I soaked them overnight in just water and it loosened it some. I took a plastic scrubber and took off a layer and soaking them again today.

Another day soaking and one more round of scrubbing and it should be all gone.

Don't waste your time cleaning that mess.

Throw it in the garbage and get a new pot.

In the future, try using water with less dissolved solids like calcium and iron.

My thoughts exactly...

What are you using that is doing that? Or is that like 10 rounds worth? From the look of it, I would just buy new ones lol. You look like you need a chisel!
