Need Big help ASAP lower leaf slightly withering after gently cleaning it the other day

So I was cleaning it yesterday bc concerns of wpm(check account if interested prolly not wpm though) and I saw after cleaning off this one spot it was a little dark I figured it would be fine but it seems like the leaf has begun to wither or at least it seems a lil worse it’s drooping more and darkness is spreading I think I very slightly rolled the leaves with my finger but that’s happened before without very much damage and idk what to do


It’s only this small leaf so far need advice asap idk if this could seriously affect my plants health if so what should I do cut the branch or just pinch the leaf

Btw i slightly tore the main leaf of this fan leaf but that one is fine and I don’t think that’s the problem and Im still trying to truly figure out sex I’ll slide a couple pics of the pre-flowers





Also still keep an eye out for wpm in the pictures please


Picture of whole plant mostly just attached for reference and review also week 6 is about to start tomorrow

Leaves do weird things and most of the first leaves will yellow and die before too long.
Cannabis will tolerate a lot of abuse. Growers here do some real BSDM type of manipulation and they grow anyway.
You are fine. No worries.
This is the underside of my current grow…

And this is the top

I guess it does make since it would shed them as the get very little light compared to too leaves but it’s still concerning as the dark black patch just has quite the ominous look anyway should I prune them or something I feel like it’s probably make the plants job easier also they are the one with the biggest top growth on their pre-flowers


Just a little confusing too because why would the plant put so much effort into the leaves pre-flowers then just kill itself

Also just threw this pic in so you can see what’s below that black patch but anyway if I should then how should I go about pruning it as if it’s likely gonna die itself and fall off I’d rather do it myself and sooner it’s all around just odd it’s drooping and stuff not even the first true leaves are really drooping like that

You’ll drive yourself crazy mico managing and it can sometimes hurt the plant.
Some damage, spots, weird colors, and all kinda stuff happens here and there along the way.

Watch for things or symptoms that happen in groups or some sort of pattern or multiple leaves doing the same weird thing.
Try not to worry about one leaf or a spot or two.

You plant looks very healthy, a little lanky but nice color and leaf development so far :+1:

Just let them be for now.
Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves. The current leaves turn light and basic nutrients from the roots into complex sugars for actual growth. A leaf, even one mostly shaded, will take whatever light that hits it and make those sugars. So leave them until they are obviously done. The little growth you see where the leaf meets the main stem is just secondary growth. They will become new branches. Pre Flowers will form single calyxes with pistils once the plant is mature and then flowering will start shortly after. If its an autoflower it will happen quickly after you see preflowers. If its a photo period plant then it will flower when you switch it to 12 on 12 off lighting.
