miracle grow tends to run a little "hot", or powerful on the ferts. it's often good to cut the soil with something, whether it be perlite or soil or whatever that doesn't have nutes in it.
you can try to leach the nutes out, or pour large amounts of pH'd water through your pots to get the built up nutes out.
you could also transplant into a better quality soil. that's what i would do. then get yourself some nutes to use so YOU can control the feeding of your lady.

what soil should i get and what is a nute? I was thinking nute is short for nutrients?
nute is short for nutrient. and an organic soil would be best as anything with salt-based nutes will be less forgiving. it's almost impossible to overfeed with organic. if you can get to a hydro store go with something like roots organics.

Do i need to add anything to the organic soil? I will buy the soil and repot to a 5 gallon pot.Quote:

after you transplant give it some pH'd water. start feeding 7-10 days later (possibly not needed depending on soil. if you can get stand alone nutes.).

Its been two days since i put the plant in my roof top and i know its too early to tell but it seems like the yellowing slowed down and the burning stop spreading. i did noticed some clear like looking hairs coming out the top,I have also two smaller plants that this is happening as well,here a photo of the smaller plant.
You live in NY? and these are outdoors? (rooftop, so natural light cycle) Correct?
Those hairs are female flowers, and good things so long as you got your PH and nute issues worked out,
Guessing here, The little ones are seed grown, and having the same problems as the larger plant, and some of those issues have been worked out.
If I'm right about the seed grown, and the natural light cycle, then you've got a small yield coming from those 2.
Hate to say it, but it's tough to grow outdoors in northern climates. You've gotta get an early start on the season if you want to yield any reasonable crop.
Whats got me confused is that the bottom leaves are all messed up looking but the top leaves look nice and in the center white looking strands are starting to coming out. I am not sure what i should do next.
That plant is hungry for more food. If that were my plant I'd probably go to store and get some chemical fert like Peter's or Schultz and follow the directions on the container. The bottom leaves being yellow and the rest kind of look pale green, and both appearance indicate the plant needs more food. Other than that, it looks ok. Ideally, you get a liquid fert that has alot of micro nutes in it, so if you can afford a little more cash, go to a hydroponic/grow store and get some Dynagrow 7-9-5, which has alot of micronutes and use about one half teaspoon in a gallon of water and give it that. Then wait to see what happens.
Ok fellas i got the Dynagrow 7-9-5 and mixed it with the water. I also got PH tester and tested the water. The PH tester indicated RED which is about 4.0 which is probably one of the reasons why my plant get ugly,i was slowly killing my baby. I made sure the PH went to 6.5, hopefully this will bring my baby back to life. does any one know the time period before i see some changes?
