Question regarding transplanting

I recently transplanted my babies to bigger pots and noticed they haven't changed one bit. Before I transplanted I noticed they were growing very rapidly, but now they're showing no signs of growth. They were planted in the same pot before, and were growing at about 1/4" to 1/2" a day with a single incandescent bulb. Now they're all in separate pots and underneath 3 42 watt CFLs. I transplanted them 2 days ago. My question is does transplanting slow the growth down by a few days until the plants get readjusted to their new homes? Or did I do something wrong? I started them off in some backyard soil in a pot but moved them to Miracle Grow with continual release. I even left a little ball of soil around the roots and had on soft cotton gloves during the process. Did I damage them or should I give them more time? They look the EXACT same as they did before transplanting. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
Whew! I really thought I did something wrong and somehow damaged them. Thanks for the assurance! For a minute I was contemplating starting all over lol.
