Wirestem is a late stage of damping off caused by Pythium or Rhizoctonia
fungus, if your plants are at least 2 weeks or older there is a good
chance they will out grow this once in the field, the seaweed will help
the copper won't, a srerile soil mix is the best prevention of the
disease in the greenhouse, I have used a two biological fungicides in
the last four years, "Soil Guard", and "T22 Rootshield" both work great
in the germinating and seedling soil mixes...
