Relax its pretty normal. How far along in the veg are you? The very first leaves your little one makes end up yellowing and falling off.

you could have been giving it some extra nitro but if its locked out by ph problems or others that could possibly be the problem..

go get a ph adjuster, for pools or fish tanks
They're cheap, at Walmart or any pet store, get drops and litmus paper, you will prolly need some ph up and down

Well at first I just had lemon/lime juice and my meter to work with and I had no probs with it but then I stepped up a little and got some of the ph down that you would purchase at a pet store for about 5 bucks worked perfectly..

K, if I can find that stuff I'll get it. But do any of you know whether mirical grow is more acidic or basic

Well first of all get a Ph meter asap.. It could be your just adding way too much miracle grow and your just creating more salts in the soil which build up and could be raising your ph as they add up, if thats the case and you ph is high your going to half to flush your plants with the same amount of water as your pot to lower the ph if that is the problem your having..

Dont cut the yellowing leaves off.. they have nutes in them that the plant will use in case its not able to uptake any through the roots, just let em fall off on their own or if they are very crispy and shriveled and fall of by gently yanking then its fine..
