5 Week Old Random Bagseed: Stunted/Yellowing, WHY??

My two roughly 5 week old random bagseed plants are extremely small (I think) for how old they are.

The smaller one is yellowing even more on the new growth tips/sites.

I watered with tap water that sat out for 24hrs, with a lower ration of Jack's Classic "all purpose" (1/2 teaspoon - 2 gallons)

Any thoughts on why they are soo small and yellowing appreciated
{larger plant of the two, actually looking better than previous:https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/329410-yellowing-plant.html}

{over-all shot to give idea of size, look @ bricks}

well, check the ph of the soil, for one thing.

I have no equip. to test soil PH, unless those "test strips" work with some distilled water and soil mixed in????

Dig them up and put them in a really good quality potting soil in a pot...pH is VERY IMPORTANT, Your soil is really dry, the plant needs nitrogen, calcium and magnesium....

I actually watered them yesterday and fertilized with 20-20-20. the soil was decent (some organic local potting mix) it turned out all hard like that when it rained for 3 days straight prior to planting (planted 4/1/10) and turned it into hard compacted soil after drying.

How do u test soil PH?

what if i dig them up and replace the existing potting soil thats hard with "fresh" of the same soil and put them back in the same spot, then water good??

UPDATE: plants looking a little better, smaller one has a new growth site that is completely white looking now, other than that still looking stunted and weak....

looks like a plant mayne, stuff happens u know..

In November there will be a ballot for legalizing the recreational use of marijuana for adults in California! (That means LEGAL)

So, how should I go about testing my soil?

if ur straped wit cash walk around ur neigbor hood till u find a really dark soil... the darker it is the more nuts it has, add sand, perilite ext... till u find the consitancy u like it shouldent hold water for more than 5 days... and dont over fertilize

grass land usualy have really good soil, i have left plants to grow with out even fertilizing, and checkin the ph.... the stronger strains will produce good, and the ones that dont u dont really want n e ways
