It’s normal for the lower leaves to yellow and fall off as the plant matures. ---

Thanks man. So the bad leaves will fall on their own. No need to take them off myself? ---

What @Spiney_norman 👆 said. Those first few leaves are always a bit wonky. ---

@LetitGrow826 , Hey there consider this; @Spiney_norman and @beachglass know their stuff lower leaves go away and no big deal. However they don’t always. I think it’s good that you are sensing that your plant may be trying to tell you something. Perhaps she’s not getting enough nutes and is taking some from the lowers. Personally, I like to prune them to focus that bit of energy back to the top, while making sure they’re getting everything they need from the soil. But then I’m a recovering prunoholic! ---

Yea, 2, then 3 of mine started showing the slightest tip burn so I asked here and some of the best growers around here said it’s normal and even good cause it shows they are getting pushed right to the max. This is what I was hoping to hear but they (plants) can’t talk to us they can only show us. ---

Took a second look. Here’s a thought; prune those lower yellows (usually don’t come back), and add soil to that not so full pot.
