My bottom stems with the leaves are turning yellow and starting to die. should i cut them off? if yes should it be at the nodes for the whole stem or in the middle of the stem?

i normally test the branch by gently pulling it, if theres any resistance, leave it on, if it just breaks off, it was dead anyway.

i'm also wondering what kind of problem it is when the leaf is browning and yellowing also the leaves are folding down any ideas?

its natural on the lower branches in mid to late veg, they dont get any real light and so they die, upsetting but a fact of life ;)

Generally its not a problem unless the yellow is progressing up the plant until the whole plant begins to pale. If this is happening to your plant its generally a lack of nitrogen and its very easy to under fertilize when your using organics. I reckon if your a complete noob to this whole thing you can't really go wrong with that as a starter setup because its almost impossible to get nitrogen toxicity or kill seedlings unless you feed directly out the bottle or something equally stupid when your using organics.
