i had mold in a couple of my plants (i guess from overwatering) but they looked like little yellow balls like some kind of insect egg clusters but it was yellow , the white stuff does look like salt buildup but i've never personally seen it build up on top of the soil like that
i'm interested to see how it turns out good luck.

lol how do you get the salt buildup out? I heard flushing but Ive tried that... ideas? Im going to take a trip to home depot to look at some stuff for my new hydro setup... and then Im going to take the ladies out and scrape that shit off the top... smell it... see what I think. ad snap some shizzots! stay tuned big homies.

A review of Cannabis diseases
list marijuana diseases, bugs, and mentions in a list of things "powdery mildew"
Fungi
As mentioned above, at least 88 species of fungi attack Cannabis and more are being discovered every year (McPartland & Hughes 1994, McPartland & Cubeta 1996). By far the most significant is gray mold, caused by Botrytis cinerea (teleomorph Botryotinia fuckeliana). B. cinerea thrives in temperate regions with high humidity and cool to moderate temperatures. Under these conditions gray mold can reach epidemic proportions and completely destroy a Cannabis crop within a week (Barloy & Pelhate 1962). B. cinerea attacks many crop plants and weed species worldwide.
Gray mold presents in three scenarios, depending on plant maturity and cultivar. Seedlings succumb to damping off, discussed below. In fiber cultivars gray mold presents as a stem disease. It arises as a gray-brown mat of mycelium which becomes covered by masses of conidia (fungal spores). Stems become chlorotic at margins of the mat. Enzymes released by B. cinerea reduce stems to soft shredded cankers. Stems often snap at canker sites. Gray mold may encircle and girdle stems, wilting everything above the canker. Fiber varieties become more susceptible after canopy closure. In field experiments in the Netherlands the disease was found from the beginning of July (Van der Werf and Van Geel, 1994). Van der Werf et al. (1995) note Hungarian Kompolti Hibrid TC is more susceptible to gray mold than other fiber varieties. Dempsey (1975) says the Russian cultivars JUS-1 and JUS-7 are resistant, but these may no longer be available (de Meijer 1995).
In drug cultivars, gray mold infests flowering tops. Large moisture-retaining female buds are most susceptible. Fan leaflets first turn yellow and wilt, then pistils begin to brown. Whole inflorescences soon become enveloped in a fuzzy gray mycelium then degrade into a gray-brown slime. Drug varieties are most susceptible during flowering near harvest time. Dense tightly-packed buds of Cannabis afghanica Clarke tend to hold moisture and easily rot (Clarke 1987). Afghan cultivars evolved in very arid conditions and have no resistance to gray mold. This unfavorable trait is often expressed in hybrids that have only a small percentage of C. afghanica Clarke heritage.

Alright well here is the update. I ripped the top soil off and smelt it... just smelt like soil, nothing stood out to me. I also touched it... and it came off on my hands easy, like it wasnt really attached to the soil to much. and it was just on the top lair of the soil, didnt go down. Any ideas? These discoveries kinda strays me away from mold and more twords a salt buildup but im a noob so pros are welcome. Let me know if you have any ideas on when I should harvest as well
Its day 40 since I switched to 12/12
I also had to attempt my first tie job, a couple lower stems were falling over... heh

nice..i give it no more than 2 1/2 weeks..i dont think thats mold either..i always hear about bud rot from mold and i woul think it would attack the moist buds or roots..mold/fungi likes dark and moist..so 12/12 with juicy buds=mold/fungi coming to the best of us,but i dont think its came to you..good luck, you'll be fine

wow those are looking fantastic!! tons and tons of white hairs everywhere. i'd give them atleast 10 more days. also...how do you like the flora nova nutes? i plan on going to the hydro store soon and picking up some flowering nutes. i just threw 2 females into the flowering room last night at midnight.
i was leaning towards the fox farms tiger bloom, but my local store also carries the flora nova line. but it is a bit more expensive.
