for example did one create the other and both created there own humans in two different ways. OR When it says when Lord God... Is it just giving you more depth to how God created the universe?

It could be 2 different entities. Or it could be that the story was taken from an older polytheism culture that had multiple gods and this is how the story was changed to monotheism. Or there could have been to different stories by 2 different authors and they were combined into Genesis in the Bible.
I have asked about this before and of course you get the standard answers, they are the same, Lord replaces Gods name. To me it is very significant if the story is written by the same author that he would change his style of writing halfway through the book. God is always used when the story is talking about creating the universe, but when it starts talking about the creation of man and the garden of Eden incident he suddenly becomes Lord God. That is significant, it implies a different Deity. Gnostic Christians do not believe that the god that created man was the same true god that created the universe.
Otherwise, it is 2 different authors.

No they are not different. The word LORD is a replacement for the name of God, which was considered bad luck if it was spoken by the translators (superstitous). There are many scriptures in the Bible where God's name is replaced with LORD. However, Psalm 83:18 has the original way it was written in most Bibles with God's name, either Jehovah, Yahweh, or the tetragrammaton. The tetragrammaton is the consonants of God's name YHWH, and later the Masoretics added in vowels to assist in the pronunciation of it. So everywhere you see the term "LORD God" know that it should really say, Jehovah God.

It is most probable that what we today know as the Book of Genesis had over centuries at least four different authors. This book is so old that it probably began as oral history and wasn't finalized and written down until after the Israelites got into Canaan. Each of the original authors used a different phrase to describe God. But they were all talking about the same Deity. And they all wanted it made perfectly clear that to them there was only ONE God, not a bonanza of man-made idols and demi-gods too busy with incestuous intrigues and jealous infighting and jockeying for position in the pantheon to much care about people.

God and Lord God are the same. They are interchangeable. There is no theological difference.

Do a web search on the documentary hypothesis of the origin of the pentateuch.
