those bottom leaves get little light or ventilation so they suffer at times. i get em also. usually take them off and forget about it. the rest of that baby looks reeeeal good so don't sweat it.....unless you start to see it up top.

so much as you'll be able to notice but those leafs can and should be removed. you'll get new ones in its place.

thats a good ? . i myself would say ya because if you think logic ur plant is not tryin to revive the leaves because there will be not leaves to revive ...but itll take time to heal the clippings of course but thats only a few days max...other then that dont stress it unless like dude says if you see it at the top be worried ...ur crops still got propz

lmao removed fan leaves will never grow back, i think you are confusing topping or removing branches to promote growth elsewhere on the plant, its never advisable to remove leaves, when yr plant has finished with a fan or any other leaf it will drop off by itself or come off with the slightest pull, if it doesnt come of with a slightest pull then yr plant still needs it! she will shed her own leaves when shes ready in her own time, and if you must cut leaves dont do it at the stem, doing this will only leave a wound on the main stem increasing risk of infection, leave a little stub of the petiole(leaf stem) on the main stem, this means the wound will heal away from the main stem, then the little stub will fall off a few days later.

The plant is 5 week old but spent first 4 weeks on kitchen windowsill now in growroom with fan, it was repoted the day before it went into the growroom, so just over a week in that pot, i think its either some stress from being repoted and a change to its light cycle and enviroment in a short space or my tap water, so got a ph tester coming tomorrow hope that sorts it

So what I did was basically futile?

a ph tester isnt going to solve the problem, you dont need to ph adjust your water when growing in soil, adding ph up or down to the soil will kill the soil. did the symptoms only start after the repot? do you have any info on the soil? its ph? any pre fert in the soil? was it in the same soil before the pot up?

dont worry its done now, only time id remove leaves that are still green is if they were infested with mites or thrips etc or if i was trying to stop some kind of fungal or bacterial infection spreading
