Mold's not good. Probably means you either have:
too much water, or
too much heat.

Also, if there's mold there, then there's a good chance you've got mold other places.

Bad yellowing that early on isn't very good either. If you get it just right you should have a minimal amount of yellowing throughout the process.

It's silly for me to think about, but before I started growing, I wasn't sure if you were supposed to clone a leaf or what, lol. Heck, I didn't even know the structure of the plant. But, let us not forget that everyone begins somewhere, and they might need help getting to the right place. Anyway, yeah, make sure you're using a shoot to clone and not a leaf.
