What do you do for soggy bottom's!

First time growing in 5 gallon fabric pots inside- (I've grown 1 &3 gal for years) and am noticing a soggy bottom on all of them.
The fabric pots are on a rack with circulation during the grow.

It is limited to the bottom 2 " of the dirt ball - at harvest.

I've seen others use coco/perlite on the bottom few inches- (I've tried everything in nursery pots- which made no difference in yield etc)

What do you do? if anything, for a soggy bottom - as the roots sitting in this can not be good!
 
For outdoor plants I used to fill the bottom of the pot with “roundish” rocks the size of golf balls and a bit smaller. Only couple of inches for drainage. But I used plastic pots
 
I make sure my fabric pots have some kind of riser that keeps them slightly off the floor, need it for the air circulation. I can say I've not had any of them get soggy bottoms.
