Dont know if I'm the weirdo here but the odd yellow leaf is not this big of an issue!. Pull it because it will not recover, but your plant will, even without that dying leaf. To be honest your plant wants rid of it!
If the whole plant was yellow then you would have a problem, but ONE LEAF!!! Are you kidding.
At the beginning of all my grows the lowest fan leaves always turn yellow and wilt, sooo bye bye yellow leaves hello new growth.
Well after reading the advice in this post I think that my ph was a little too high since I am growing in rockwool.

Why would your ph cause ONE leaf to turn yellow?
Yes ph is important as are many other factors. Chill

Check out my first grow 'From clone to harvest in one easy post'.
In it it shows one of my plants completley yellow (I thought it was the strain).
It came right with absolutley no special care just ph 5.0 to 7.0 water (nothing too specific) and a little nute two to three times a week. I ended up getting 8 ounces.
What ever you do do it gradually.

well if its the lowest leaf(it is), then its the leaf closest to the roots and the leaf that the plant will start pulling nutes from first if a deficiency occurs. your slinging advise like your oldschool and then reference your recent first grow.
the yellowing is definetly a N def, but its quite common with clones because when they are rooting they must use stored nutes to grow roots. do not cut them off as the plant is still pulling valuable nutes from it, when its dry and ready to fall off on its own is when the plants done with it(millions of years of evolution cant go wrong!).
i run my ph with RW as low a 5.0 so no, 5.5 isnt too low at all.
