Compating seedling damping off.

Hey guys I seem to have a issue with seedlings damping off. Since lowering my humidity to 50% it has helped alot. But I still get it in less then half of my seedlings. It seemed to help dosing them with myco/bacillus bacteria. But then the ones that would show signs of leaning over/darkening stems/thinner at base I hit them with 300ml water with a drop of bleach. Then use that to water a tiny bit over the base of the plant. It comes back to life. But loses a week or so in repairing damage. Any tips to stop it in its tracks before it hits? Here's a pic of what I do ones spotted.
PS I have done dwc and get hit with cyanobacteria bad. So. Assuming it's that. My only hope is to build there immunity or overcrowd with good bacteria ?

I definitely keep things to wet. I'm starting to feel there weight and learn that trick. And have lowered the humidity from 80+ to 40+
Idk about this guy though. Almost feel like he was just to top heavy and needed help haha didn't stunt him. It's the one with the support still there. And all 3 of the bigger pots were germinated at the same time.
Might not be able to see it here. But it holds itself up straight now.
PS the strain is "red dragon" which is notoriously known to be hard to find a good pheno nowadays. Hopefully this is the one (alongside shaman and cheese)(straggler is a bagseed) CCamPic_000248.jpg

Overwatering kills more plants of all types kept by people than every other cause combined.

those big pots are the problem
if you want fast growth you would repot them in 1/3 gal pots before those 1 gallons
it will allow you to water more frequently ... and give more oxygen
