Just wanted any input that anyone with experience could give. Not sure if the yellowing leaves need to be pruned off, or if they can stay put.

Wow that first one is a robust little seedling.
As for the yellowing... my guess would be magnesium deficiency. You can tell by the blotchy pattern of yellowing rather than an all around pale green or yellow which usually is the tip-off for nitrogen deficiency.
Give it a pinch of epsom salt around the base of the plant and give her a few days. Even if that wasn't your original problem it should give your plants a huge boost and make the leaves even greener.
Here's another look at magnesium deficiency:

Well, the plant has been moved into a new pot, using Expert Gardner Organic Potting Soil and a pinch of Epsom salt was added.
The yellowing/browning leaves were crispy to the touch, so they were clipped. It seems that a few of the other leaves are having the same problem...

Well, it has been a few days and it is time for new pictures...
In this picture, on the left you can see one of the older leaves pictured in a post above...It's looking a little worse for the wear. Other than the two leaves that are pictured above, the rest of the leaves look great.
The plant is getting water every third day, and for the time being, no more fertilizer. It's putting off a much more noticeable smell, but smells amazing. Sometime around the middle of April is the plan to start flowering.

It came from a friend. He said he pulled it out of some Lowryder.
It actually is getting quite large. Surprising...How fast the plants can grow.
