I'm 21 and 300 pounds how long would it take for me to get dehydrated ?

No set answer: There isn't a straight answer for you. If you are having vomiting and diarrhea, it can happen in in just a few hours. If you have cotton mouth, aren't urinating and your skin tents up when you pinch your forearm, you are moderately dehydrated and may need IV fluids.
