Overwatered.
Didn't seem to be overwatered, when i transplanted it again the soil was falling off the roots. I guess I will see what happens.

And you didn’t water it in after transplant?
The first transplant last week I gave it a little water, today after transplanting again I did not. The soil I used to today seemed moist enough

I'd water the soil. I always water after transplant. And I always water the whole pot, not just the center. But that's me. It's up to you.
Thanks for the advice, It's in a smaller pot this time so I will give it some water

Also whenever you transplant adding Mykos to the roots isn't a bad idea either.

As long as it's not small plant in a big pot. Otherwise those roots will drown

I plant small plants in big pots all the time. But I don't drown them. I'll water more on the outside of the pot than the inside when that's the deal. I've cloned straight into 15's too, lol. I try to keep the soil moist all the time, but I refuse to water daily so when they get big the soil doesn't always stay as moist as I'd like.

Yeah. I think that can be a problem for new growers. They miss the part about watering the outside of the pot. Watering a large pot to run off with small plants can be disastrous

If there's good enough aeration it should be fine though. But I hear ya, and agree that you can't be dumb about it,

I always water a plant into a new pot. I don't understand the logic of only watering around the plant. When you pot up you want the roots to quickly grow into the new medium, the roots won't grow into dry medium. I just water until I see run off and make sure the soil is well aerated before I plant.
