Better not sit on the ground outside. It's covered in mold/ fungus/spores.
Mycelium or something to worry about?

gonna give you space to topdress a lot then, fill the half of it halfway through the veg (depending on your veg time) and fill in the rest while switching them

I assume that you are looking out your window. Why would you live like that ? You should give Chem-lawn a ring. That's so gross.

I'm sorry. You must be mentally challenged. I'll leave you alone.

Didn't know this, just spotted white mould in my new plant, I panicked and picked it out.

Welcome to RIU! Most of the time white mold is beneficial to your plant and it's okay to leave it alone. Take it as a sign that your soil is healthy and active!

I purposely run 10 gallon pots and only put 1 cu/ft in each roughly. Ends up being perfect for 6 weeks veg and 8-9 weeks bloom. I like having to water my coco every other day. lol
That fuzzy stuff is mycorrhizae they add to the promix. It's beneficial fungi that grows on the roots and throughout the potting mix. I wouldn't worry. It's symbiotic with the plants and feeds the roots. It's a good sign to see it.
Here is a good article on it:
Mycorrhizae - Dr Earth
What are mycorrhizae? The word ”mycorrhizae” is derived from the Greek words: mykes—meaning fungus, and rhiza—meaning root. Mycorrhizae are specialized, […]

p.s Where there is fungi there will be fungus gnats. If you notice issues with fungus gnats a good product you can add to your irrigation is Microbe-Lift BMC to kill the adult gnats & their larvae. Harmless to people & animals.

Same, and before I started growing I never would’ve guessed how much soil can cost. $30-$40 for a 1.5cuft bag of roots original, for every 3 plants.
I had something similar in a transparent plastic cup for seedlings, but not on the surface, but in depth. Dispersed in pea-sized spots, scattered randomly, no localization directly at the roots was observed. The sprout was not covered with a dome. I think a possible reason was the use of used coconut with small remnants of old roots.
Poor quality photo due to the fact that the walls were not perfectly transparent.
I watered with a preparation based on Bacillus subtilis strain 26 D and soon transplanted into a larger opaque pot. After that, no visible manifestations of mold were observed. I cannot determine the reason for the disappearance. Maybe the effect of the drug, or maybe the fungus just ate all the dead organic matter available.

Dang wherever you're at they are taxing you hard..... GrowGreenMI $10/bag. I liked that stuff I did their method where you grow right in the bag and it turned out great, just a bit too water retentive for my taste.

Don't put domes on seedling. They need proper aeration to combat wilt of disease. Only time you should use domes is with clones in rockwool cubes and jiffy pucks etc. Water clones do way better without a dome.

Amazon, no grow stores or garden stores near me. I bet shipping higher than me on that
