I just recently planted my little outdoor germinated MJ on July 9th and its been almost 5 weeks now and stands about 2 inches from the soil or so. The first 3-4 weeks the plant was growing beautifully and on the second week I transplanted it to a bigger pot.
About 2 weeks after i transplanted, that is when I started to see my plant having problems. Today, the first two leaves that started the plant (2 oval leaves) have already turned fully yellow and shriveled up. The other leaves (marijuana leaves) look mostly healthy and green except for a couple. One of the bottom leaves (single one) is curling downwards toward the soil, another two beside it are slightly curling upwards (or cupping upwards) and slowly turning brown on the edges with little spots of yellow.
I'll include a few pictures to help better describe what is going on. Can someone please help me and tell me what is going on and what i need to do to correct this?

it looks like your taking your plants through a nuteburn and your leaves twisting shows that theres a ph unbalanced. fix these two and you should be fine. don't forget to rep me =]
are you giving any nutes? what kind of soil? i'm not able to help(i do hydro) but those who are will need to know those things probably.
if god is willing to defeat evil but not able, he is not omnipotent. if he is able but not willing, he is apathetic. if he is both willing and able, why is there evil? if he is neither willing nor able, why call him god?

What do you mean by nuteburn, it needs more or it needs less fertilizer? Is there a way that I can figure out the pH level without spending money for a reader? And if not, where can i get a pH reader that isn't that expensive, because I don't have one right now. (Will those pool pH readers work somehow?)

Nuteburn=overfertilizing. You can pick up a cheap pH test kit for $10 or so but they aren't very accurate. Save your $ and invest in a digital pH tester ($70-$80). It will be the best money you have ever spent.
I usually only check the soil at the beginning and just keep my water and nutes in range. You can check your runoff if growing in pots though.
I don't water my plant enought where it comes out from the bottom of the pot though..
And the water that i use to water my MJ is filtered tap water that i let sit out aswell. and just two days ago, i bought and added fertilizer (Liquid Plant Food [10-15-10] with 0.1% Iron, 0.05% Mangnese and Zinc) to the plants water but just 7 drops (0.53 mL per liter) and i water everyday when it doesn't rain.
When I transplanted, I used C-I-L All Purpose Potting Soil on the bottom of the pot, then filled the middle of the pot with my soil from my garden and then topped it off with the C-I-L and added a bit of 10-10-10 fertilizer ontop. (And if you're wondering, a couple days ago I added crushed egg shells ontop of the plant)
