Recently transplanted---Looking weak

I recently transplanted two trees that my friend gave to me. Now since then its been 4 days and one of them is looking quite weak. Right now they are under 2 250w 1050 lumens floodlights and 2 smaller 125w 1050 lumens floodlights. I have been debating on whether or not I have enough light on them or if there's a chemical imbalance. I am going to add pics very soon but the edges of some leaves and browning/yellowish and beginning to curl. the other plant is looking like it is going to be fine but this one looks shocked.

When you say floodlight - do you mean incandescent?

You need CFL or HPS, particularly to flower (or LED or MH).

Chlorphyl is only produced under certain wavelengths lights

Im new to this, and also had a question about the flood light thing.
In a scenario where some one would use a closet, how would I set up the flood lights? would I just take out the old bulb at the ceiling and replace it with the flood light, and at the same time have a aluminum covered box surround the plant? And if you have any more suggestions that would be inexpensive that would be great..

What i've found over the last few weeks is that your best bet is to find a way to run an power strip to your closet. Then, go your local hardware store and pick up these individual light bulb holders ill put up a picture soon. Floodlights won't do the trick tho you should buy cfl's the bulbs with the little swirls. Find the 5000k Daytime ones when your beginning to first grow or veg your plants...dont go any lower than 5000 tho so find the daytime ones its written on the package. Also, when planting them make sure to use either Foxfarm or Promix soils..theyre going to be at a garden specific store or a hydroponics store not lowes or something. Buying foxfarm nutrients would be good too Foxfarm grow big and tiger bloom. GB for vegn and TB for flowering. I have 6 lights right now 3 on each of them and theyre looking good now so if you follow those steps it should work out and its fairly inexpensive prob about 150$ when youre finished. Or if you use a covered box just downsize everything and look on some forums for helpful box tips they'll really help.
