Exposed Roots! noooo

[TheAstronaut]

So today i was swapping my little ones which are only a week old but are flowering, into a big pot for each Because i grew 3 in a medium size pot indoors to get a jump start on growing and anyways I was putting each into separate large pot and when i was taking one out with plenty of soil around it, it broke apart and the root was totally exposed so i placed it in the large pot with the same soil the same depth it was at and watered the new soil... Is this going to kill it? i sure hope not, the root wasn't damaged at all... anything i should do other then wait and see?

I'm growing outside now in large pots which i placed in the ground until they get a bit larger then i will plant in the ground, Its in the 70's and sunny around here

Thanks for your help, ill be taking pictures as they get bigger..

hey dont worry
the light only hurts roots if they are exposed for a large amount of time
having them exposed while transplanting to another pot is totally fine
cheers dude

Buster right, they'll be fine!

It's only when they are exposed for a long time, now personally i belive his true, but some people say it doesnt make a differnce, although better to be safe than sorry.
