if you got good strong roots they might not be as damaged like you might think

idk how you went about your transplanting process

but your plant just might have a little shock going on and will probably bounce back in a few days !!

it would have to be a pretty bad transplanting process for it to be a big problem, roots will repair themselves and eventually fill out the container

once i knocked a plant off my toilet seat and lost half the soil and some roots, 2 days later it was growing again and never had a problem,

then 2 days ago i pulled a seedling out of a pot n was abotu to throw it away when i thought i would test something, i placed it in another pot with soil and its growing fine again and sorted itsself even though it lost most its new seedling roots,

im sure you will be fine just wait and see

i cut my roots every few days or so in my aero system before the roots go into the reservoir and i never see any signs of stress or anything.

Agreed, they're pretty tough plants, and can handle more abuse than you'd think. It'll recover just fine, within a few days, to a week.

Those little fertilizer sticks would be nutrients. Certainly hope you didn't crush them or add more than one.
The affected leaves will never go back to normal. The plant itself may be toast, but I can't see the full extent of the damage. Flushing might not help at all if any of those spikes remain in the soil; it will just release more nutrient.

And it absolutely kills me to tell you this, but that marijuana plant is not your baby.

Fertilizer sticks? That doesn't sound good.
