I gave it a light watering just around where the roots would be in the middle. Should the whole medium be saturated?
Yes, the soil should be hydrated before transplanting for best results. Since it was not it should get a slow and even heavy watering. if you see runoff at the beginning it means the soil is way to dry and the water has run through to the bottom. That means keep slowly watering until the pot is heavy. Give it a few cups at a time every 10 minutes until you see the true runoff. Note what the pot weighs before watering, you will know it is hydrated when it is heavy.
I wouldn't fully soak em, that will lead to overwatering. but the roots are going to look for moisture.
For sure, thank you for the advice.
