Bottom leaves were closing green? I'm having lots of trouble picking through your post. Don't post high :x
 
My bottom leaves were losing greenness could it be because I waited to long to transplant it and my lights r just 10 dollar under cabinet grow lights very tight budget just transplanted it today roots were all over the bottom had no where to go

that doesn't tell us what kind of lights they are. i'm assuming you are using tube style lights but we don't know what type or what wattage they are so we can't tell you if your lights are likely to cause problems. t8? t5? how big of a space are you trying to light with them? how far away are the plants? what size containers are you using?

green roots? like moldy green? a pic goes a long way in helping people understand your problem.

These are the Walmart Gro Lites. I have 2 of them. There good for lighting up an area bright enough so you can find the real lights :) Basically crap. They may be ok for hanging over seedlings or maybe clones or something but thats about it.

....Then go with CFL bulbs. You can get 6500K 100w equivalent bulbs for a few bucks that will work fine for the vegging period, way better than those crap sticks
