So, I should drill holes in the bottom of the EarthBox?
Kinda defeats the purpose of having a SIP, I would think.

Check out that link I put above. Do you have a HomeDepot nearby? Big bales of peat can be had there. Well worth it!

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.

The other day I had an idea and after testing, it works great. To know if you need to water, get yourself a soil meter. Poke or drill 4 holes in your pot 1/4 way up from the bottom spaced around the pot. Insert the meter probe into the hole and test for moisture. If its dry, then water SLOWLY...

We have a Lowes about 60 miles away(I live in the stix) that might stock some in the autumn.
But like I said, I have a photoperiod in the same setup that looks phenomenal. It's the Autoflower that has the yellow/curling tips.

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.

Yeah, I've seen Jeremy's grows. Very nice, but there is a bit more to it. Fact is, the plant will grow in many different enviroments, but they still have needs. drying out partially is part of that. His SIP may not be working correctly.

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.
But I think you are right; I filled the reservoir too soon.

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.

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

Here is the problem plant . Its flowering, but tiny popcorn larf
and here is the raging Amnesia
