I had underestimated the ability of commercial growers to screw everything up on a tree. When I took my ficus out of the planter it had less root structure then the five inch chinese elm I have - literally. I had trouble repotting the tree as I had to soak the water before I put it into the pot because the tree could not support itself or hold the soil down for the submerge method. I've gotten it back in there and it seems to be doing fine. I've added in three rapeseed cakes around the base to give it some fertilizer to help it come back from the repotting.
Also, the spores I got are pretty awesome, they take five to six weeks to grow and you have to cultivate them indoors in a pan before applying them to your tree. I probably shouldn't have bought them but it was a learning lesson I suppose.
