Root damage

I transplanted my plant & I accidentally pulled some roots , which feels bad in the inside but I did pour some superthrive with fertilizer does that help out with the plant lookin droopy
 
About 40 mins ago & yes she was doing so well until I messed it up but I put her inside where there's a little bit of shade & where it's not windy , I mean I did read a couple pointers but I want to know if I'm doin it right

Do you have any pics. Either way what's done is done. I doubt you did enough damage to kill her though. Best thing you can do is just try not to stress her anymore. Keep her in a dark comfy spot for the night and make sure she's back out when the sun comes up. Could be transplant shock, sometimes it's worst case scenario but usually they snap out of it in a day or two.

Superthrive is a root enhancer. Going by your description I'm gonna guess the plant will bounce back and then some.
Root pruning isn't that hard on a plant if it is done right. People who grow Bonsai trees root prune but they also cut back some of the top growth to balance out. There has to be a kind of equilibrium between the top growth and the roots which sustain it. So if you're gonna remove lets say a third of the root mass you should also remove about a third of the canopy. I don't think you cut back more than 10 or 15% of the roots so my guess is with the Supertheive and the bit of fertilizer you'll be right as rain and more educated about root pruning.

Bet you she's perked up looking fine at sun up. I'd be very surprised otherwise.

That's if she was fine and perky like you said before you transplanted her and set her in the dark for the night.
 
Now that an hour passed it does look like she's snapping out of it , I'm so glad now I was already telling her my goodbyes :sad: now time to get lifted bongsmilie:weed:
