no one is going to be able to give you any useful advice without pics and more info. what kind of soil? how many days from seed? how big are the pots? what kind of lights? how far away?
the pics are the most important part because not all yellowed leaves are the same.

Also potting them up the only stress I have ever seen is droopy leaves but they bounce back. Yellowing leaves I would think would be a problem that was there b4 the potting up. But Total Head is right we need more info and pic's

over watering causes yellow leaves..i would bet on that being your problem.

he says he just repotted..surely the new stuff will have some nitrogen in it i would say you have maybe watered recently,then repotted and watered some more..over watering..

oh wait did you say tips,i thought it was the whole leaf..maybe your soil has too much ferts in there..
it is the ocean fox potting soil, and i mixed the soil with blood meal for nitrogen and also mixed it with perlite.. the potts are pretty big, i dont know the size exactly i want to say 3 gallons. tuesday will be 3weeks old since the seed grew its 2 cytolen leaves. i am using a 90watt LED light since day 1 and its about 6-10in away from seedling.(equivalent to 400watt) and the lights are on 24-0. i have pictures but dont know how to upload them.. for some reason when i do they dont show on the forums. anyways any aadvice will help>
yes just the tips are yellow not the whole leave... and i didnt add any fertilizer to the potting soil other than some blood meal but the other plant did not react with yellow leaves... no i made sure not to water them for 3 days or soo because i knew when i was switching them to bigger potts i had to water themm.. i watered the whole pott with ALOT OF water.. but i made sure to keep the water limited around the plant i knew how wide the roots were cuz i just moved it.. so i watered very little where i knew the water would go st8 down and meet the roots..

Soil can be too strong for your plants.
OR, the initial container got depleted from ferts fast, you over-watered, and when they got transplanted the difference content of nutrients or PH of the medium you transplanted into was drastically different from the smaller pot. Or maybe it was the temp of the medium? any changes in the growing areas?
my 2 cents.
