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.

Do you have any ideas of what could be causing them to yellow?

The seed is suppose to be a Lowryder seed, so hopefully it will continue to keep it's small and bushy stature.
Planning to run to the store this afternoon. Will pick up a new pot, some better soil, and some Epsom salt.

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, a small update:
The plant looks a little better. Those few leaves still have splotchy spots, but the new leaves look perfect. Also, the plant has jumped another inch or so in height. Plus, there are tons of small new leaves growing from the bottom where those first two dead leaves were clipped.
Thanks for the advice you guys. Another picture update will come in a day or two.

How frequently do you water?
There isn't an exact water schedule, but the soil is checked each night before bed and if it felt dry it got some water. On average probably once every 1 1/2 days.
This time its going to dry out for a couple days before it gets more water.

Sounds good. The weight comparison for watering works well. Also one more suggestion, you're going to need a fan if you don't already have one
Check.

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.

I like the random mint plant you have in there. 
It stays out on the balcony during the day, but at night it comes inside.

damn there looking good.
is this the original lowryder?
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.
Update:
Full size Bic hiding in there.
