What kind of system are you using? Are these just RW cubes sitting on top of a flood table? Why does the top of the cube seem wet?

How high up the cube are you watering? It seems to me like there's too much moisture on the top of your cubes.

I have never dealt with fungis or stem rot, but I assume it has to do with too much moisture up on top of the cube. There's no roots up there, why the water? Are you flooding the ENTIRE cube?

Chestnut compound is an old favorite. Minimize water for a bit. But seriously. Chestnut compound, and maybe some neem or serenade all over just in case.
