few options for this and a few more options to prevent it. 1) like others have said, elevate the pot and increase surface area to help evaporate the water, trivet's or pot risers help with this. I use the formaer and found them at the dollar store A+ 2) allow the temps to increase a bit to help facilitate the evaporation of the product 3) keep air flow up to get rid of the higher RH in the air to increase evaporation. Mainly you just have wait and it will fix its self, then don't add in as much water next time. Some preventative options are to control your watering and don't add in so much OR to add in more aerating things into the medium like perlite or LYCA, The former is only really good with dry amendments, the alternate is needed if using hydro nutrients to prevent a salt build up. This help the water flow though and not become as waterlogged, this has one downside though, It will require more frequent waterings but one main upside is no more overwatering and much less likely to encounter rootrot. Good Luck!

I don't think you over watered them but the opposite. Looks like you have a top crop coming in as well that's taking up water from your feeder roots on the top soil... they may need more water so I recommend getting a moisture meter to help you get your levels correct.

With fabric pots, you need to raise them so that the air circulating in the space helps to dry out the bottom of the pot, where all the water has collected. Suspending them in this way will help to save time in solving your current problem, but keeping them like this throughout the growing period will improve drainage and prevent this kind of asphyxiation. The easiest way to do this is to place a grid over the cups and place your fabric pots on top. This will also increase the recovery capacity of your cups. By the way, you should close the socks of your box if you don't want pest to come in.

Hello my friend, you do not need to do anything just let it dry naturally. For the future you can prevent overwatering by these simple rules. Never give water before the top inch of the soil is completely dry. You do not want the soil to stick to finger when you stick it 1 inch in de top layer of the soil before watering again. And never give more then 10% from the pot volume in water. Enjoy this grow buddy!

Dry up the soil by raising temp. (closing ur lights to the plants) in grow room + using addinational fans would make it faster. If you are using humidifier then turn it off.
