I just repotted my plant in its final pot as roots were coming through bottom of old pot, I used a long knife to go arround the edge of the pot then carefully tipped the plant upside down n out it came, lost a few roots on very bottom of old pot(see pic 3), anything to worry about ?

hey baz, good catch on getting it transplanted. think you will be fine but why worry now about something you can't control?? why not chill with a blunt and see what happens.

Lol funily enough thats what im about to do right now, just wondering what losing a few roots may do to the plant, prob nothing to worry about, can't believe i have had to repot 8-9 days after its other repot lol

dude, your plant doesn't give a shit about those lousy roots.
it says, "fuck you roots, fuck you for being small and lame, i am outa here and fuck you..... .... .... stupid roots."

Oh and it was watered thurs and i was going to rewater it weds/thurs but the extra soil i used to repot was very moist so i dint water after repotting, should i wait until this new soil drys out before watering it again?

It'll just inspire new root growth.

When I transplant plants (not pot) if the roots are too jammed up and spiraled around I just hack some of them off.

i know what your saying but this extra soil wich was atleast 2 3rds of the overall soil was very moist it had been outside in bag for a while and its been raining alot, surely there is enough moisture to give it what it needs to settle in new pot, i dont really want to water it yet as the next water was going to be with its first nutes, and if something goes wrong with it i will know its shock or something like that and not have to add any kind of nute problem into the equasion.

so i should go water my plant with its first nutes in a pot full of wet soil, u dont think this will be overwatering it?

give it just plain water since you just transplanted. Then in like a week try the weak nutes. It needs a little time to recover from the move.

Ya wont need to feed that plant for a couple of weeks. It just needs water. It will get what it needs for nutes out of the fresh soil.
