Have ya used wax on em at all? If so thats probably what it is. I think it's a bit early in your journey yet for them to be moldy.

did u ever use wax even once?if so its probly wax that shits nastsy and hard ass hell to removeread the wax removal link aboveif u never used wax what do u wash with?try the baking soda deep cleanse follow that with an extra strong vinagar rinse if its mold youd smell it a musty smell if it is molddo the above then between washings sun dry as mucgh as u can, then use a stri=ong thyme tea sprayed on or rinsed rthriughh but left on u can also use a strong white vinagar spray with a lil lavander oil when i say strong i mean like 2/3 cup white vinagar 1/3 cup water.. 20-30 drops lavander oilbut before we jump to conclusions...did u wax wax is probly to bloame..or pore soap some soaps lewave behind alotta gunk

Did you use wax when you started your dreads?Um you can use a bakingsoda wash

nope no wax just that dr.bronners magic soap

dr bronners usualy works well but nit in all types of water, try the baking soda .. waut 1st sniff any scent? if no mustyness or if it smells soapy its the bronners being a pure soap in i think hasrd or soft water forget which it wont rinse well (did u dilute 12-1?)try the baking soda leave it on an extra long time (20 min?) then a apple cidar vinagwr rinse ( couple capfuls to 1/3 cup in a gallon water let soak a few min) rince very very well dry very well K E A Z said:

its like white gunky stuff inside roots of my growing locks

dandruff buildup?could be dandruff or like whats called cradle cap..either way the baking soda will remove it add the teatree and rosemary oilds to prevent it from getting bad againi add the pils to the baking soda and the vinagar rincxe but since your only 3 mionths in id only usethe vinagar if u really need it it will make em super soft so skip it if u canthe backing soda kinda eats uop all that gunk turning it into a paste that rinses right out easilyyou dont even gotta scrub K E A Z said:
