You are either watering too often or too fast. But bring pots up and water slower when watering, if waters coming out the sides more than bottom you are watering too fast or too much. Like trail said make sure they are dry before watering.

Cheers mate, these pots are a pain to water at the best of times. I’m going back to plastic pots on my next grow......

Really if you learn the watering techniques from them its the same with plastic pots. Only you have holes to run out, but soil still isn't getting the goods it's bypassing the medium.

that looks so awesome!
See how dark and shady the underworld is, mold zone. Getting air an light down there would lessen mold

Cheers trail, I’ll keep an eye an a nostril on it. I think stillsmoking has also got a point. I’ll get em raised back up shortly.

Cheers bud, I don’t get too much coming out the sides but it’s hit n miss in there because it’s pretty full and hard to see what your doing.

love how radishes protect the tender and slow, bottom pic tells the tale, in the garden I broad cast em

Yea there leaves do help protect, good point, me never thought about of that .... word of caution, they do pull up a good amount of soil when pulled so don’t plant close to something you many wanna keep longer term ......

I just ate a few and talk about crisp when eaten within minutes of picking, delicious!

I did have the pots elevated but then put them straight into the drip trays as water seemed to be going everywhere when I was watering.

fabric pots are tricky to water efficiently. This is what works for me. A little water at first to open up the sponge effect. In the greenhouse the fabric pot dry fast during warm windy conditions. Center of pot may seem moist enough but when edges get bone dry 2-3 down, I water. As I water I'll dose the drier rim zone a lot heavier, relatively little at a time. I get a little run off, mainly through the fabric sides. It took me some seasons to learn how to water right for my environment. Oh yeah, took awhile to get drainage right too. Water has become a non-issue for me, gardener's evolution.

Floor space is minimal, can’t really get a fan set up effectively down there but I have put a fan down there. Hopefully it’ll help.
