Have you watered the plants?
What size container?
How did you transplant them?
Did you pack the soil down hard?
Does the soil have any nutrients in it?
How soon did they start turning yellow after you transplanted them?
 
yes ive watered them, they are still in the small peat moss containers (should i have transplanted them already?) the soil isnt packed hard and it doesnt have any nutrients

How much water have you been putting on the plants? The soil should be only slightly moist, never saturated. The soil also has to be able to drain.

Can the soil drain? Is it just plain dirt or do you see white pieces in it?

What type of light do you have on the plants?
 
this isnt mine but it looks similar, ive been watering them whenever they get really dry, i added perlite and there was some vermiculite in the bag when i bought it. im using a 250w mh
sorry username, had to delete that link. It wasn't a valid link. Seemed to have some incorrect characters init.
