I think the discoloration could possibly be natural course of life. As the plant fills out its buds, it draws nutrients from the larger fan leaves, and they fade. I could be wrong. I, too, am a first time grower. I HAVE read an ass-load of material on the subject though, and I also have a general background in flowers/vegetables from my landscaping days (which are still under-way).
Basically just take it all in stride. If the leaves are towards the bottom of the plant, and the buds dont seem to be affected, I wouldnt worry about it. These are mighty plants; Im pretty sure in most cases you have to actively kill them for them to die. Keep watering, make sure the pH is right, and pass good vibes onto them.
I would agree/confirm this!!! Bravo for the research man.
Older/lower fan leaves usually yellow and fall off.
Looking very good OY. Won't be long now.
