hey joe,
There is a fella on here who sells a natural product on here that will help you with your problem.
His name is " Capulator" and the name of his product is "og bio war".
ogbiowar.com
I would check this route.... and also ask myself "why does this keep happening"?

First fix the problem that's causing it which is probally water logged medium and or a dirty grow environment trays hoses resivours etc.
Then this shit right here will kick the shit out of the pythium.

I've used bleach and clear rez to treat root rot with some success. The truth is I had less success killing one organism off completely and found it easier to populate my media (coco) with good organisms to overpopulate the baddies. Any Trichoderma Harzainum rich inoculant will get you far.. OG Biowar (root pack) will treat and eradicate root rot easily.
Just my experience. Good luck

Trichoderma or Caps teas may work if you wanna go the organic route.

We run pool shocker in our cloners, water is constantly 80+ degrees with no Pithium.

Dunno how well it would work in soil or the adverse health effects it may have. But I do know it kills everything, good or bad.

Having issues myself but unsure if this is pythium or "plant falling disease " anyway I am using H202 29% and alternating with sm 90..Wish i knew what difference was with all these different names for it though. Also I'm using rockwool so it's hard to see whats changing inside cubes. Any advice is appreciated

Is this Pythium the same as "plant falling disease"? I am having issues with plants shrinking at base of plant at 4" rw cube. Trying stuff i read about but need experienced answers. Thanks!

Pythium crown and root rot is a troubling disease for many growers and at times may seem unavoidable and tough to control. Pythium is a water mold and “nibbles” the feeding roots of plants, resulting in stunted growth and death. Root rot disease is favored by growing conditions that are “too wet,” such as when media does not drain quickly or when weather doesn’t allow rapid drying.

Pythium can be introduced into a greenhouse via plant plugs or other pre-finished plant material. This pathogen can also be a greenhouse “resident” that hibernates on dirty plant containers, benches, hoses and greenhouse walkways, ready to become activated by the right plant and weather conditions. Although Pythium can be a problem on many annuals and perennials, it seems to favor certain crops, for example geraniums and poinsettias, more than others.

Sanitation is especially important in limiting root rot. First, use a pressure washer with soap and water when cleaning walkways, benches, etc. Second, treat cleaned surfaces with a disinfestant to remove any remaining “unseen” problems such as Pythium. Conditions that favor good plant growth and minimize stress make the plant less vulnerable to attack by a root rot. If you’ve done everything right and still find yourself with a Pythium problem, choosing the fungicide tools that work can minimize your losses.

Root rot must be detected and identified early while fungicide drenches can be most effective. If Pythium has a significant head start, the root system of some plants will be too rotted and the fungicide drench won’t be able to rescue them. If timely fungicide drenches have been made using appropriate rates and root rot continues to be a problem, it is time to take a hard look at the products used. If Subdue MAXX has been the only or primary fungicide used over the years for Pythium control, it is possible that the Pythium has become resistant and is no longer affected by this fungicide. To know for sure, however, the Pythium present in your greenhouse can be tested. Some diagnostic clinics offer this service. To avoid the development of resistance, rotate among the different active ingredients available among fungicide products.

Generally speaking, fungicides that control Pythium disease do not control Rhizoctonia and Thielaviopsis root rots. A fungicide such as Banrot 40WP is a mixture of two different active ingredients and targets all three root rots. Banrot can be a good choice when you need to make a treatment quickly and don’t have time to determine which root rot pathogen is the culprit. If Pythium is diagnosed as the problem, fungicides that are specific for Pythium can be used and include Subdue MAXX (also available as Mefenoxam 2), Truban, Terrazole and Aliette. Some greenhouse growers who have struggled with Pythium problems have determined that Subdue MAXX does not control the disease and have had to rely on other fungicides. Pythium should be tested each year root rot is a problem to determine whether Subdue MAXX can be part of an effective fungicide program.

Wow! Thank you for the information cannabeans! Iam not sure which one it is but have read up on it and heard a lot about h202 and of course sm 90.. It seems like it is holding it back but damage that is done is done (2 plants shrunk at base of trunk&Rockwool and broke off, 8 others are very thin at base and hoping since little time left to keep all very clean and make it until end. Just want to learn more for future problems or prevention of future problem i shld say. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO HELP AT ALL

Could be a simple case of stem rot from the wet rockwool.

Regarding the OP, I would use bleach... And make sure you use a non scratch pad for cleaning.

You don't want to scratch any component, because that leaves a place for the organism to hide.

Let things dry out completely before using again.
