Hey ppl I've just repotted my plant into a bigger pot as the roots were showing from the bottom, I only had compost available so used that.. my question was should I add nutes now? Its nearly a month old. I've LST so more light gets to the bottom. I haven't watered it yet since I wasn't sure what I should do and don't want to kill it off early by accident.. attached a few photos

Whenever you transplant you need to "water in" the plant. I use plain water then go back to my regular nutes. There are a number of products used to prevent transplant shock.. I'm sure more ppl will chime in. Good luck

Tough call because different soils and composts have varying levels of nutrients. I've grown in fox farms ocean forest and that gives me a good month worth of nutrients. You could poor some plain pH water in and use your ppm meter to see what the run off is at. That should give you and ball park. And if you want to be and even bigger geek (which is a compliment) take some of your original soil that hasn't been used (control) and do the same thing. That way you can tell how much nutrients your plants have used. But account for the original ppms in your water so you can eliminate that variable.

Check the oh before anything then go from there get the good kit that tests for more things. The one I have a simple one that only tests for acid and alkine levels
