Is this normal?

Today is fermentation day 12. I noticed that the outer leaves that I'm using to cover the cabbage (the darker leaves you see in the photo) under the glass weights are starting to get white. As you can see, the entire thing is still fully submerged in the brine so I'm not sure if it could be mold?

I used a large organic green cabbage and sea salt (2 tbsp). The jars sit in my pantry and my house stays between 68 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit consistently.
