They look fine, so far...
150 watt led... what's the wall wattage pull? At that low of output you'll probably want to keep them short and bushy to flower them while they're small so your buds can thicken as much as possible.
What are you growing them in?

All i know about the lights is they are both 150 w with 1500 lumens each not warm at all pretty cool to the touch. I have them in magic dirt with a little bit of blood meal in it. Right now its in about a little over half gallon size container.

Lumens aren't a relevant measurement because that's for human vision spectrum. Ppfm is usable plant light's intensity, not counting the light spectrum needs.
That light will only get you so far in flower. Dense buds require heavier lighting imo.
Find out what the wall wattage pull is
Not trying to be a downer just rather be frank and not set you up for unrealistic expectations.
Soil is outside my domain of awareness, I'm growing in coco. Just don't over water them, don't water until dry pace.

Oh no I need honesty for sure. I'm pretty poor lol so I have these right now will it make it another week under them?. In the next week or so I'm getting one of the led full spectrum lights with all the different colors on it for growing. Cant think of the name. And how do I,find out wall pull or whatever that is

sweet man
it should say somewhere in the product specs what the actual wattage is for the light. if the MFG has a ppfd chart on their product's descrip, that can be a good sign. i got chinese leds. the other side of the coin is that just because it has high wattage from the wall doesn't mean the PPFD is efficient in comparison to compartive LED grow lights.
yeah you're good initially. it's just i wouldn't use that light very far into the grow because even in veg i'd be afraid of having a leggy/wimpy plant
probably a great light for clones, though!

make sure your grow room has decent air flow
be aware of your grow room's humidity

For sure getting a better light for it. I think I have the soil down. Just need to restrain myself so I dont over water like I think I have been.. Air flow is really good. Fans pushing and pulling air threw the grow space. Hunitidy it pretty low in my house. Old dry house.

noice, you may want to invest in a humidifier, that'll increase your plant's VPD/leaf respiration, odds of quicker plant growth

24 hours after transplant.... Little yellowing on the one tip. Anything to worry about here?

Looks like a bit early for a transplant, could have just shocked it a bit and/or your soil is over-saturated. If so, let it dry out some before watering.

Its 2 or 3 weeks old. I transplanted it yesterday. Picture was taken 24 hours after transplant.

Gave it a water after lookijg online for awhile. A lot of people said to water well after transplant to fill any voids

Is 24 hours after transplant to soon to know if there will be any transplant issues?

Looks like it's 3" wide? Thats a bit small for transplanting, the speed of growth depends on health,watering skills,temp ect.. So careful not to get hung up on "age", this can fool you into feeding too soon or transplanting too soon ect.
When you transplant, yes you should lightly saturate your soil because you don't want any dry pockets but at the same time, you need the roots to chase the water for any growth above ground, the more roots you grow before transplant the faster it will grow out of it during the transplant.
Your not watering until run-off right?

It was in a super small pot before so I felt I had to transplant. Roots looked decent for what it is I guess.also I am not watering til run off. I watered 1 time after transplant but not over full

Yep soil looks pretty messy with all those chunks of not decomposed bark or woody branches...
you can experience PH swing and its a magnet for fungus gnats as they like fungus that
grows on those chunks.. am always pull out these stuff from mine soil if there is any,
will keep your plants more healtier if you will have "cleaner" soil mix..
