Indoor Need a base for my Air Pot to catch the excess fluid

Last time it wasn't a problem, the plant turned out to be male.
Right now I have two plants in my little tent. There is a 1 in 4 chance both are female.

Last time, my first two were both male... but if I get lucky, I will need something to catch the excess from the Air Pot.

And it's real tight in there with 2 plants, so something that fits the Air Pot snugly would be even better. I am really hoping it's a girl, it's real healthy.

Has anyone thought of a way to use an Air Pot base as a nute reservoir, and have the taproot grow down into it?

Thx, guys.
 
What I did for my starter tent was get a rubber "under-bed" storage bin to operate as a drip tray
for all the pots instead of one per pot. They make them in all kinds of sizes and I found one
on Amazon that was the exact same footprint as my tent.

Sterlite and Rubbermaid are good names to search for.

As to the reservoir...IDK. Don't think that would work as it needs to be in complete
darkness to not grow algae and stuff. Airpots are intended for soil grows and there
are other items available for hydro and DWC.

You're thinking of a hempy bucket and while it's possible to turn an airpot into one you'd be better off just buying some cheap 2 dollar trash bin at the dollar store or something. Do a Google search for airpot hempys and see what you find. I know there are a few posts out there about it as I researched the same thing at one point.
