Here's some examples of what's going on in the Earthbox. 3 of the 4 plants are coming along great...but I would love to know what people think. Advice is welcome!!!

Here's the 4 in the box:

Here's the biggest one:

Here's the deformed one:

...but definitely NOT a mite. I saw good growth under the top leaf spreads - I thought about isolating that plant, but thought it might be too stressful for it (if it is indeed under attack). Since I'm fairly sure it's not mites, I just cut off the two leaves that were basically drying/warping (it looked like it would be strenuous for it to try to pump health into 'em) and will continue to watch and hope for the best.

Oh - the plants are a really gorgeous healthy green, but the fiberglass on my greenhouse is green, so it makes everything look more yellow than it is.

:weed:

Thanks, GiantEthiopian! I'm tryin'! I have some in regular old pots too and they are doing very well but definitely less water maintenance in the EarthBox.

Here's what they look like today.

That's what I'm hoping - rooting for the underdog! I'll keep posting photos.

Another one of the seedlings that I have going in a pot has 3 cotyledons - it's bizarre! It's also got 3 second leaves! I've been trying to get a photo of it - maybe I have some zany hybird bagseed bliss. I'll go try to take more photos.
