So I repotted my Dark Star that seemed to be having problems due to the roots being too bound in the pot and watering it more. Anyways, the pseudo bulbs still seem to be wrinkling and the new growths don't look like they are growing. Am i just paranoid or am I doing something wrong?

Did you try soaking it for 15-20 min? I have several of these types with the big fat pbulbs and before I switched over to s/h I would soak once a week and it seemed to help. As for the new growths. Be patient. A watched pot never boils New growths are slow. Do you have any before and after pics?

No, as far as I can tell your not doing anything wrong and your not paranoid

You can never too paranoid with orchids!! We are all the same! Orchids are all about patience, sometimes it so hard not to just stare and 'will' something to change/grow/bloom, but ignore it for a couple days and you will always spot something new.
