Some mycelium are beneficial. I had a layer of greyish white mould forming on some fresh mixed soil and freaked out! I hit it w rubbing alcohol and scrapex top layer off. Plants kicked ass tho.....? So then i read @pops22 thread on supercharging your earthworm castings . turns out i had jump started my microbial life w the mould. So long rant short your soil is alive!!!! Aslong as its not powdery mildew and the plants are clean of white fur ur solid . it may actually help ur grow!

You really don't need to be fertilizing just yet, there still a lot of space in those pots for the roots to find nutrients in the soil. When they start to go kind of a pale green that's when you want to start the fertilizing.

The exception for that is you will need some calcium using LEDs and a lot of Growers look for a calcium supplement that's lower in nitrogen if they can find it. Autoflowers really don't like a whole lot of nitrogen. In fact some of the biggest plants I've ever grown have been kind of a pale green the entire grow.

Perfect thank you for the advice, I proceeded to water yesterday, and everything looks much better, maybe it was just showing signs of drying out, I’m not too sure, I’m still pretty new to this haha

Okay I see, so I’ll buy some calcium supplement, do I need to start this immidiately? Or only until I start the nutes? Or do I continue with calcium throughout grow?

You can try waiting for payday before you get your calcium supplement there may be enough in your soil and in your nutrients to hold off till then. If you start to get some calcium deficiencies you're going to see little rust colored spots appearing on the leaves.

Take a sppon and scrape off the mold. Then mist the surface of the scraped soil with a mixture of half vinegar and half water, but be careful to use this mixture as little as possible. Also ensure that there is no much humidity in the area and also you are not over-watering your plants. But if the problem persists, you should consider repotting the plant and grow in a sterilized soil.
