Ive heard that they are good for drainage so i suppose, if i am correct in my thinking, that i could use these in substitute for the charcoal?

You can definitely use LECA for drainage and some people do. It won't have the de-souring effects of charcoal but it will improve drainage and moisture retention at the same time. Unless you are growing in s/h though, I wouldn't use just a mix of perlite and LECA as the mix will dry out if it doesn't have a water reservoir at the bottom. It would be better to use a bark-based mix and add the LECA to it as an ingredient.
