I planted some cucumbers in a pot with potting soil and cactus soil (only because I ran out of potting soil) a huge thunderstorm came through the other night and flooded it. I poured out whay I could but days later the soil is still soaked. I have no idea how to dry it out besides letting it sit in the sun

Unfortunately, you won't be able to plant in a container that has no drainage, outdoors.

You will either have to drill holes or choose a different container that has drainage.

Here is an article that will help you to grow cucumbers in container:
