What is the ph, and can you remove the mold without damaging the roots of your plant?
Any reason you can't transfer it sooner?

I cant teanafwr the plant bc I'm waiting kn my soil to come in.
The ph was 7.
I poured a gallon w 2 tsp of Big Bloom in each plant that is in the 7 gallon pot. He told me to start at week four. Since I didn't mix the GROW BIG with the gallon, is it too late to do it or just start at week 3 and fo forward? Also, do I need the rest of the fox farm nutes on the list?

Ok. Just try to remove any mold without damaging the roots, a few days shouldn't be too bad.
A ph of 7 is a bit high. Personally I would use unused coffee grounds, but I've never had the opportunity to fix ph issues. Maybe adding a little bit of lemon juice to your water? If you search ph in the indoor growing thread there'll be people who have more knowledge/experience growing in pots. I know there are products to adjust ph, but you might need to go to a hydroponics store to get them, and they may be expensive.
The FF nutes, what are the NPK ratios? They should be on the front of the bottle. A higher N is used during veg and some people use it for the first week or two of flower. A lower N higher PK ratio is used for blooming, usually when the stretch is over and the flowers are starting to form.
For autoflowers you don't need as much, they're sensitive to overfeeding and having a nutrient solution too strong can burn the roots.

Be careful with the grow big, you'll burn your plants using to much. 1 tsp to a gallon is plenty. It's basically pure nitrogen.

Got it! Since I gave my plant 2 tsp for the first watering, the second water of the week will be plain but the third? 1 tsp of big bloom ? Or nothing? Also, I'm only giving each plant nutrients once a week. Is that ok?

Unless they start showing signs of nutrient deficiency (ie slow growth, yellowing or discoloured leaves) once a week is plenty.

Check out Septoria as a cause of your yellow spots. The photo is not close enough to tell. I have Septoria on my lower leaves of my plant and my tomatoes and I usually do. I have never seen it get out of hand.

Unless you ripped half the roots off your plant will probably be ok. You may get some slow growth, and depending on how much of the root mass got damaged the stress may cause some problems, but you won't know until it starts to flower. Just remember to keep the soil moist, the transplant shock will be a little stronger because of the damage.
