Zero run off? I’ve been watering buckets till the run off a bit, I water The air pots until they start dripping. I drain off into the yard so I don’t have anything catching run off except when I’m trying to measure it.

will be hard to over water in air pots unless you're just dousing every day back to back lol but best of luck to you

living soil imo is the easiest way to grow the best bud once you find what works best for what you have to work with
