Hibiscus leaf drop oh no!

Well I'm not sure if it was the really hot weather followed by very cool, the fires, or alignment of the planets, or bad gardening... but I have six hibiscus of varying types that have decided to all yellow up on me and drop leaves like crazy. No bud drop. Yet.

They were fertilized with Osmocote, black Kow and Epsom Salts about 6 weeks ago and about every 2 weeks they have gotten a soaking with Miracle Grow. I water them a couple times a week with the hose and about once every two weeks they get deep root watering, at least until the rains come.

They have also been sprayed once or twice since February for pests and inspection revealed nothing more than a tiny bit of scale on some.

Did I do bad? Or am I being overly anxious? Any suggestions would sure be welcome.
