Quick question:  
My radish plant has 6 leaves, and one of the first leaves to sprout is turning yellow. Is it a problem, and if yes what can I do??

The first leaves that sprout are called Cotyledons aka seed leaves and always die off after the true leaves emerge. This is also why it’s difficult to identify seedlings before the true leaves emerge because most seed leaves look the same.

If the seed leaves start to turn yellow, should I clip them off or wait for them to fall off themselves?  
Also, should I clip them off even before they start to yellow, to reduce the plant putting its energy into those leaves?
