You should and can start with fertilization of the water column at 1/2 strength till the plants start picking up speed. (The new CO2 finding is something you should look into. Direct CO2 gas bubbles to leaf surface by means of a good diffuser and good flow into the plants near the bottom).Qtn: Should I start my fertilisation regime since day 1 or should I wait until my tank is at least 2 weeks mature?
Qtn: If that algae is bba, oh man, do I have to do large water changes and clear off the algae (manually)?
Would starting my fertilisation regime now help to eradicate the problem?
Qtn: What should I be doing in the following days to come?
Currently, I have yet to fully run my whole lighting set, which has 4 x 54W T5 giving me around 3.10WPG
Yes, remove them and correct conditions.
If your tank is low in plant mass (pack the tank with plants and add mulm!) add more. Fertilize and do not wait.
