Have you been to the nursery?
No, don't know where to find one here in Estonia.
OK. Hopefully you have re-potted into an easy draining soil, your
avoiding chemical fertilizers that may damage the roots, and have
figured out how to get more heat and light to your plants (tenting
them outside during sunny weather).
My first guess is that it is a root problem (probably rot from
over watering). Problem is I have no idea what the white material
is or if it is even a problem. Will it wipe off with a cloth? If so, I'd
presume that it is fungus.

Presuming it is a fungus
Baking Soda Fungicide
Mix 4 teaspoons (about 1 rounded tablespoon) of baking soda and 1
tablespoon of horticultural oil (any cooking oil) into one gallon of
water. Spray lightly on foliage of plants afflicted with black spot,
powdery mildew, brown patch and other fungal diseases. Avoid over-using
or pouring on the soil. Potassium bicarbonate is a good substitute for
baking soda. Citrus oil and molasses can be used instead of
horticultural oil. Source:

Sprinkle some cinnamon on the white spots, that may help.

6. Apple Cider Vinegar - Use 1-2 tbls per gallon of water for a mild
fungicide or acidic liquid fertilizer. Like alcohol can be a natural
herbicide if too much is used in tea. Most white vinegars are made from
petroleum products. Apple cider vinegar can contain up to 30 trace
elements.
7. Corn meal - Use as a topdressing or in a tea for fungal control.
8. Compost teas - This multi-purpose fluid can contain beneficial
microbes and soluble nutrients that can be a mild fungicide and disease
controller.
16. Bleaches and Peroxide - great fungicides. However, most commerical
bleaches are not natural. Use 1-2 tblsp per gallon of water.
Any neighbors who grow corn?
