I'm glad you posted these comments, because I'm experiencing the same thing. My first dozen leaves or so are turning light green and yellow, with brown crunchy tattered edges. I was wondering if I have a problem of if that's normal for old leaves. I'll be anxious to hear from some experienced growers.

No experienced grower here but I found that it is no disease but just natural die back of old leaves. Very normal and not worth worrying about...
