Stem rot/mold

[Augestwest]

So I have been dealing with this mold on the main stem of my shishkaberry.
Iv been spraying it with 1/3 part hydrogen peroxide with water and it seemed to help for a week but it's back now. Any suggestions would help. Anyone know what the cause would be from. I was thinking possibly over watering.

I cannot help you resolve this problem, unfortunately. I think it's getting too far gone and fungi are difficult to deal with. Also, I personally have never dealt with anything quite like that until very late in the season, so in other words she was pretty much ready to chop anyway. All that said, someone else may be able to help you with this one.

When you do the H2O2, don't dilute it at all.

Give it some potassium silicate.

Thanks guys I'll stop at my local indoor garden store and see if they have any potassium silicate. Should I remove it from the garden then so it doesn't risk spreading to my other plants

Just keep an eye on it, if the problem area maintains or reduces in size, she'll most likely be ok. Hopefully the plant will push through.

Found out the mold
Is coming from the Inside out so I have to chop it off to stop it from spreading to other plants. I guess I'll use this as a learning expirence. Sucks but rather get some than non. Next season will be greenhouse and better air circulation

Bummer, but yeah, it is a learning experience.

Damn...stem rot sucks.

Activonate is organic and will help as well...

A small fan blowing across the base of your plant/top of medium helps.

Yea last years problems hopefully won't be this years problems. I am doing hoop house green houses this season and hopefully will help. Also doing raised beds as my plants were super root bound last season. Any advice on super soil????
