S I P S
Sub-irrigated planter system
I suggest taking all the plants out and cleaning the bottom of the tent really well
then get yourself some low profile plastic totes......
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sterilite-10-gal-Stacker-Tote-Black/43393264
put the super soil in there own and put the coco together in there own
with the super soil
when you water....soak until you get runoff and leave the runoff un the bottom of the tote
with the coco
make a nutrient mix
and pour into the bottom of the tote until in fill up to about 1/2-1" up the side of the planter/pot
and let the coco drink from the bottom
with the coco
if you are afraid of salt buildup
you can lower ec values as well as use a enzyme product
or every 3 weeks feed from the top with a light nutrient solution 2x the pot size (light flush)and shop vac all the runoff from the bin
allow to dry well and then continue with the sips method

I like it! I'm going to read it over a couple more times there will be more questions. But first one that's comes to mind is the airpots the bottom is 3 rows of bumps up. So it doesn't sit in the ground ... does that change the strategy?

And right now I have black/white poly wrapped around a 3x3 crate with slits in it. So I can feed and it'll drain down into the tents flood tray. And I usually shop vac now which cleans it up when it gets super green algae. Should I get rid of the crate?

@mandalaman
so how do the air pots drain?
the feed will soak up through the drainage
I would get rid of the crates and just get seperate bins for the pots
that way you dont really have to deal with the mess
also you can ise the sips method on the super soil as well
the sips method has worked both for myself and @EventHorizan very well.....particularly well with coco
so much so that it is hard to contain your plants because of the explosive growth
it is basically an artificial way of creating a water table in nature

Also quick update on upstairs tent. Cloner seems to be doing ok. No roots yet. Bag Seed is looking good. Sour Girls were moved downstairs into 4x4. Got a couple extra lights. So I have the 72w 4100k LED I have just added 2 4ft T8 6400k bulbs as well as 2 CFL 65watt and 6500k. Might use CFL elsewhere not sure yet.
There's a new addition to the tent, GG4 for reals this time :) she's cold and needs a little time to perk up.
