the fabric pots don't hold water enough to cause overwatering?

I'm using a coco based media ( Royal gold basement mix) I start out flooding every other day then increase to every day the basement mix isn't pure coco it has other stuff too but a coco perlite mix can take more frequent flooding than a soiless mix like I'm using I used to run botanicare coco 70% & perlite 30% & flood twice daily but once daily worked just as good for me

My pots sit in a tub with lots of room for air to circulate around them

I might of shot off my mouth before I loaded my brain because I think you're referring to something like a cap ebb & grow that uses a remote reservoir feeding multiple buckets ??? I had forgot those even existed my whole e&f hinges on lots of room for air to circulate around the fabric pot aiding in the coco drying between feedings if those buckets don't allow sufficient airflow retaining too much moisture could be a problem here is pics of my homemade setup & I apologize for not realizing you may have a different system as mine uses an open tub
