Default Water Spots

I took 4 hours last night to wipe down all my orchids with a mixture of
neem oil and insecticial soap because the humic acid I was adding to my
fert water caused something to precipitate. Am I obsesive or is this
normal?

On the bright side, B. little starts, one of my catts (something purple
I think) and a NOID plal are spiking.

I also caught 3 of my orchids that were on their way to rootless
wonders, soaking them in rooting my rooting mix before repotting, my
fault, two of the pots had small drain holes that got plugged with
mineral deposites, and the other was in rock wool and s/h which was too
moist for it (catt)

BTW is there something that I can use to cut throught the mineral on
the leaves, the neen oil leaves a nice luster, but some of the spots
are really hard to get off.

3 days until I get my new compots...
