Whats going on with my stalk.... why is this happening and what do I need to do to fix it?

The top growth/foliage is perfectly fine. Just the stalk seems to be rotting...20210122_221900.jpg20210122_221856.jpg20210122_221852.jpg

Have you got any air movement under there?
Yes. 2 8" fans.
If they re not soggy it could be the temp difference day/night
Theyre a little soft. But the temp difference is

78⁰ F lights on.
68⁰ F lights out.

I have a feeling its because my RH is too high. I just bought a better dehu. My rh is around 75% lights off. 63% lights on.

I'm thinking about putting peroxide on the stems and then the new dehu will lower the RH.
I don't know what else to do.

I also read the stems do this sometimes if you have root rot. I dont think I have root rot. Im in fabric pots. And I don't overwater.

Whats weird is... why is my foliage perfectly fine but the stems look like an old crippled fuck lol

I wonder if the best thing to do would be trying a compost tea, like AACT
Dude I seriously can't find anything online about this. Like I honestly don't know whats going on with this stalk/stem.

I'm just going to hit it with peroxide and I have a bigger dehu on the way. So once the rh drops I think the lack of moisture will help it harden back up.

Yeah 75%rh is a lot eh.. also maybe stop the drench if you do it?

Look into Fusarium canker. Couldn't tell you for sure without a lab analysis. My diagnosis to look into. If it looked normal before and you've seen changes Id be suspicious.
