i got 8 clones four days ago. if there's only one leaf that is yellow, are you suppose to cut if off. two clones came with one half-yellow leaf. on each clone. now the yellow leaf is all the way yellow, but the stem seems healthy. sorry if this is a dumb question. thanks for any help.

bump. i thought you were supposed to let the leaf fall off by itself. but i just read someone cutting off the yellow leaves to prevent spreading. my clones are four days from transplanting into 5gal pots. should i leave any yellow leaves be. there's only one per plant if that.

As long as the top leaves are healthy you can cut it. The roots havent grown enuff yet to support all the leaves OR you are over watering.

thanks man. like i said newbie. the second day after i got them the leaves were droopy, soil was dry. i might have over watered them. the leaves came back up, looked real good. but now maybe a handful of leaves look bubbly. like bubbles run through them. is this a sign of overwatering?
also if i don't cut the yellow leaf am i hurting the plant? thanks for the help

Do not cut those leaves. While they are yellowing, the plant is using those leaves for food.

Let them fall off naturally.

Also some pics can help diagnose any problems you are having
