too early for it to be shedding leaves.
Yellow creeping up is a sign of nitro deficiency for sure...
if your behaviour before this point is relevant, you need to consider it. Have you fed regularly? is the pH correct? if you are certain of these things, go ahead and fertilize. it likely needs it.
A plant will get rid of a lower, light-deprived leaf, but not on any plant this small. If fed slightly better, even that shouldn't happen except in later bloom. if it does, it's a minor issue... more of a hint to start feeding again or a tad more.
