Check out that link I put above. Do you have a HomeDepot nearby? Big bales of peat can be had there. Well worth it!
No way! Just watch the video in that link I gave you above.

All he did wrong was fill the reservoir too soon. He's not allowing the soil to dry out enough before refilling. The EarthBox is designed perfectly as long as it's used correctly. Jeremy at BuildASoil has the process down pat, and all op needs to do is watch Jeremy's videos.That is not drainage, but it should hopefully allow enough oxygen to the roots or they will rot and you will see the kind of stuff you are experiencing.
Earthbox is a fine way to grow but it has a few minor issues that can mess up your plants. Also, marijuana is what I call a 'dry' plant. If its too wet, they don't like it.
If you are worried about overwatering, then that is very easily fixed.

New Simplified Way to Water Marijuana Plants
To know if you need to water your cannabis plant get yourself a soil meter. Poke or drill 4 holes in your pot 1/4 way up from the bottom spaced around the pot...
Jeremy also did Auto's in the EarthBox LINK
Ya, I've watched/rewatched all his videos. He is the one that inspired me to use an Earth Box because I am notorious at over watering.
Yeah, just because the reservoir is empty doesn't mean it's time to refill it. Jeremy is pretty clear on using the plant to also guide refilling.

Did you get things sorted?
Actually, the Earthbox with the problem plant is a wonky Bannana Daddy Auto from Ethos. I dont know what it is but the whole thing was wonky from the start. All the leaves have 3 blades and the whole plant is full of larf. The healthy one is an Amnesia Haze photo.Glad it worked out. Imagine how bummed you would have been if you had drilled holes in your Earthboxe's
