Seems like mold to me...

How often do you water? Does the soil stay moist for too long?

some weird alien looking shit. the plants are fucked any how, mag def, spider mites, i'm just about to chop them down and smoke em. had a really bad humidity problem to begin with and i do drench the soil so i guess its wet 85% of the time but i do let em dry out.

Yes it may be a harmful mold or it could very well also be beneficial fungus???????? Either way I would almost bet the farm it was introduced by one of those rocks. Its cool to use rocks from outdoors to make it easier to water w/o displacing medium. Just boil them in water for 3-5 minutes next time before using them.
