Mold in soil

My plant is three weeks into flowering and the soil is looking moldy. If you were to look at the bottom of the pot, the soil that can be seen through the drain holes is white. I don't want to transplant it into new soil because it is a female and i don't want her to turn hermi from the stress. What are some other solutions?

Thanks

How big is the pot that the plant is currently in? Look closely at the "white soil", is it actually soil or perhaps roots that have had the dirts washed off of them? Usually mould grows on the top of the soil so we really need to identify what you have going on. How about a pic?

put some bakensoda and a few drops of dish detergent on a spray bottle with water. let the soil dry out after it drys MIST NOT SOAK THE TOP SOIL WHERE THE MOLD IS. then the next day water your plants (in the am when your light first turn on) and mist the soil again. by the end of the day right before your lights go out it should be gone(or most of it) it takes a few times to kill it. dont over water your plants and KEEP A FAN RIGHT ON YOUR PLANTS AND SOIL 24/7. a dehumidafire will help alot to run it at night when the lights are out(this is when mold grows most) just went through this myself.
