I remove them from the tent when I really have to really deal with them.

It's a great question and wish I had a better answer. A drain to waste system could be set up where the runoff would drain below the pots but I haven't got that far. Another idea I had was a drain tube I would put inside the hole of the pot and drain the runoff out of the tent. Vaccum works. and this thing I got at the dollar store.

What to do about the runoff is why I wasn't doing it. I asked someone in the hempy thread how important run off was and he said, he didn't do it. Now we know he was wrong.
Here’s a picture of my hempy DTW’s. I got lucky and built my tent on top of a drain stub. I cut it flush to the concrete and cut a small hole in the floor to run drain tubes through. I use a drain to waste tray to catch my run off from the drain tubes on my hempy tubs.
