Pythium/Fusarium is not the same as Cyanobacteria (slime-snot covered stems and ends) Find out how I learned what this is and what to do

I think if a collar is too loose around the stem where sprayers can leak up the stem, keeping it wet without drying out any, yes I think that could definitely be the cause of the fungus to grow and infect.
