You should get a pond liner from like Home Depot for $40.00 to fit that space. That way any run off won't be a problem. You need some run off I think to help leach the salt build ups out.
A shop vac could suck up any mess/runoff.
Other than that they look lovely.

I think unless the plants are pretty big, if you water till run off then you are overwatering them, you will saturate the soil.

I think you want your pots to dry out within 2 days, weed loves that wet/dry cycle.

You should be able to pick up the plants sex in veg after 4 to 6 weeks, you need a magnifying glass and look at the nodes about an inch down from the top of the plant, and you should see the odd pre-flower.

I can tell before they get put into flower whether or not they're male or female I just like being 100% absolutely sure before I pull the plant that that's what it is though

How? They say that males are usually taller, but that's not all that reliable.
Relying on that you would end up pulling up some female plants.
They also say that female plants have shorter internodes, but again that's not all that reliable either.

I don't think there's anyway to tell until you see that first pistil.
Even going by the shape of the calyx before the pistil comes out, ie. female plants have a triangular calyx, is not 100% accurate, I have been wrong occasionally relying on that.

I don't do anything until I see that first pistil or round pollen ball, even if I think I'm 100% sure.

I look at the lil chutes that come out by the nodes. Its hard to.explain but im usually 90% correct. I still wait until they show sex before i pull the plant.

Jst a lil update. Lost two more plants due to being males. Not even upset at all. Needed the room anyways. Lol.. Lost the second strawberry and an afghan. Both plants were healthy and roots looked great. Im real impressed with my new room and the first grow in it, if the females look as good as the males did in the in there pots im going to have a nice harvest.
