Dont stress. Not really a clear indication yet. The new growth looks good. Are you transplanting?
I have transplanted once going to do that again in a bit .
The second set of the older leaves you can see them losing a bit of color as well , I'm a bit stressed out it's my first grow ever

When did you last transplant?
Whats the soil?
Used any nutes yet?
New growth looks good so there's no reason to worry much yet.
I'm on my 1st grow, plants looked worse than your does all the way through (still look pretty sickly) but I'm still gonna have some very nice buds in a couple weeks.

My soil is German standard Potting soil that's 70% moisture ph 6-7 it approx 10 ppm of calcium sulphur and Magnesium and 02 ppm of Manganese zinc copper Iron . Started out with pallets then transplant 10 days later , using Formulex for Nutrient ps I live in a country where resources are limited !When did you last transplant?

Cool. So, 3 weeks old, been in those pots around 10-12 days. She may just be a little hungry. I'd still wait a bit before doing anything different. Maybe let the next set of leaves grow out fully and re-examine.
Those lower leaves do tend to die off pretty early quite often.

Alright cool , but the thing is the secound set of leaves are losing a bit of color as well is that normal ? I have uploaded more pics please take look .

You're talking about the single pointed leaf? That's what I'm talking about losing early. If that 3 finger leaf above starts yellowing, up the nutes a little. She's still small so keep 'em on the light side.
She's far from "panic mode".
its common nitrogen deficiency....
..."nitrogen is a very mobile nutrient. that means it can move throughout the plant as when needed. all the new leaves get plenty of nitrogen to make them green and help with photosynthesis because the leaves that get the most light are the newest. so the plant "wants" to give those leaves priority for getting light. makes sense? if the new leaves aren't getting enough nitrogen, the plant will start to take nitrogen from the older - lower leaves. this is what causes the yellowing and wilting. it's relatively normal for your plant's leaves to start turning yellow.
but, if your plant is losing lower leaves fast due to yellowing (if yellowing and dying leaves is "climbing" up the plant from the bottom), especially in the vegetative stage before plant is making buds, you have a problem that you will need to fix as soon as possible. it is not good if your plant is showing signs of an advanced nitrogen deificiency while still in the vegetative stage. it's normal to lose a few yellow leaves off the bottom of your plant here and there, especially with very big plants. But if you are losing a significant amount of yellow leaves, and the yellowing seems to be moving up the plant quickly feed it right away dont wait"...
i'm paraphrasing a cite growweedeasy... and yes it's nitrogen...

Those first single leaves will typically yellow and die off like manbat said, but those look excessive, i would recommend if you have access to this is get some some 5 gallons smart pots and get some good soil and mix in some worm castings along with some extra perlite for drainage and they will get all the N they need for veg, if you dont have access to WC then get some sort of N to add to the waterings but dont over doit dont go by whats on the bottle for dosing as this is typically ment for a full grown plant ease into it gently dont wanna give them N toxicity trying to fix it. But those yellow leaves will forever be yellow just keep eye on it climbing up the plant and new growth being healthy.

Don't be sorry I'm sorry it was a dick thing to say anyways. I tried to delete my post I dunno if it worked. Didn't mean to be a dick I hope you have a great week
