ur an awesome grower to solve this...

Here's the deal....my jack herer grow is going super good but I have one that is suffering from over watering...so I drenched it with mild nutes and h202...I switched from soil to soilless...botanicare ready gro and perlite 50 50...they went from 3 gal buckets to 15 and they have been in those for 2 weeks...my issue is this new soilless won't drain at all...so do I wait for it to dry (might take 5 or 6 day) and risk root rot or keep giving h202 treatments until roots fill in bucket and it can dry out on its own faster and that could be 2 weeks or more...this medium acts as a sponge and I thought this would drain right through more like the hydro organic method...ahhhh thoughts?

yah, you have to remember that your using much bigger containers this time around which are going to require much less frequent feedings than the smaller containers that your used to..
i also agree, and would say just let them dry out on its own..

Go by the rule of sticking your thumb 2-3 inches into the soil, if you feel wetness wait longer if its dry, then water. You should be able to get a feel for how heavy the pots are when water is still in them versus when their dry and need water. Not that you'll be picking up 15 gallon containers all the time but you know what I mean. It just takes some time, but you'll get it down ;)
