Default Dying leaves while flowering please help!

Hello everyone,
I'm so thrilled to have a huge flower on the Ice Cream! This is my first flower and developing fruit. But I can't seem to figure this leaf problem out. The oldest leaves start yellowing then browning along the leaf edges, becoming crispy and dark brown. This works all the way up the leaf to the midrib, where the midrib itself starts to die. Might be Phosphorous or Potassium deficiency, but I have no clue. I've upped the Miracle Grow to full strength once a week and I'm going to add Sul-Po-Mag once it arrives from Amazon. So far the newest leaves look much greener and happier, but the older leaves continue to die :/ I'm worried this deficiency will harm the developing fruit Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!
