I transplanted my strawberry haze, from mg soil to fox farm, when i took the plant out, i noticed a bunch of roots left behind in the soil, is this normal when transplanting, for some roots to get left behind, and the plant just grows more roots.

Did you not transplant the whole rootball? Maybe it wasn't root bound yet.

It's not normal if the plant was ready to be moved up. Sounds like you jumped the gun.

What did you go from and to what?

i had miracle gro soil with slow release nutes, mixed with sand and peat, i transplanted to fox farm ocean forest / verm/ perlite and i did get the root ball. I transplanted then watered with a solution for every watering of Fox farm grow big.
I switched because i was getting nute burn, from the mg, so i asked and someone said i should transplant.

I think transplanting was the right thing for you to do in this situation. i probably would have just watered with straight ph'd water though with no nutes.
How does the plant look after transplant?
If a few little roots get left behind shouldn't be a big deal.

well ill just take some pics tomarrow and we can see how she recovers from there, if she dies well ill just take all the clones i can.. thats like 6, but i am very optimistic and i think the grow big will boost her greatly.
