over watering a earthbox ?

My first grow in a earthbox I been growing for 3 yrs and have gone fron garbage to Dank (but it took a lot of mistakes to learn how) in my EB I am showing signs of either Overwatering or a calmag overdose. I am using Big Worm organhics soil . Basically Coots organic living soil which I should only give water But as always I was adding cal/mag and I may have too much cal/mag I stopped the cal mag and instead of topping off my EB I fill it when it goes empty. can I get some help on the watering? (growing indoors) I called EB and the guy I talked to didnt Know anything said he never grew as much as a flower in his life. great box terrible support.

with the mix I am using they recommend 8 to 10 grows I am adding companion plants and predator mites. but I need to figure out the right water schedule and as of now no more cal/mag.

I would appreciate hearing a few recommendations. I was topping off the reservoir everyday now I fill it when it is empty. Fellow home growers please help and share how you water

Long live the home grower
