Well my plant had a rough start in its early life due to high ph for a while and it cause some leaves to be like a piss yellow. Now after about 4 more leaf sets beautiful dark green its very healthy and is starting to fill its self in. Now my question is should I cut the old yellow fan leaves off? They dont grow any bigger but they arent dropping.

If the leaves are more than 50% yellow, take them off. If you leaf them on they can attracted bugs (nats are attracted to yellow) or disease.

Ive had them on their for 2 weeks now, does photosynthesis still occur in yellow leaves or are they just taking up space and blocking light from reaching the new growth and the nodes?
