I'm growing my first plant, and it's about 7 or 8 inches tall 2 weeks in, a few nodes have popped up and the top leaves look healthy. However, the leaves on the bottom have begun to turn a shade of yellow, and it looks bad. How can I correct this problem?

it's an 8" pot i believe. I'm using one 30w cfl in a growing fixture, the kind that is metal and focuses the light. also, i haven't added anything to it yet, ie. nitrogen or phosphate.

for now, i think the light is enough. It's about 3-4 inches above the plant, and it's on 12/12. I've been giving it a generous amount of water every couple days, and i just bought some plant food with nitrogen and phosphate, but i haven't used it yet.
