Stem Rot?

Like someone said, clean the rot spot with a toothbrush and water with hydrogen peroxide (not strong) and drop your water level. You can take clones safely, pythium is not systemic. This is from water splashing up through your netpot, or from having your water level too high. Do whatever it takes to keep this area dry.

i have a similar issue but im using SOIL not hydro...ive noticed a rotting of the stem at the very base where it enters the soil. It looks like something has slowly hacking away at the base of the stem. It looks like a type of mold. But i was wondering how to fix the issue or if i can possibly cut the stem (at a 45 degree angle) at the base just above the infected area and replant it. Would that work??

i have (had) two plants in one pot and the other was just fine. i decided to make a clone out of it...im not too sure how to do it. I cut it above the third node (at a 45 degree angle) and have it in a shot glass of water. it has perked up and is continuing to grow but hasnt shot out a root system yet. Does that sound right??

Hi guys,

I think I've same issue. I realized 1 day ago.
I wonder if this is infectious to other plants in the grow tent?
May H2O2 helps in anyway? (Actually, I'm oxygenating the water w air pump&stone b4 irrigation.)

Thanks in advance.
Peace.
