First thing I'd do is to post a pic and confirm what it is?
I would be more confident telling you something!

Ya a pic would help alot!!! There can be so much other diff going on!!! But if u really want to get iron to your plant, ANY Chemical/Organic nutrients that have potassium in them will fix a Iron deficiency. (Only mixing at ½ strength when using chemical nutrients, or it will cause nutrient burn!) Foliar feed with chemical fertilizer containing Fe or rusty water can work well. Other supplements that have Iron in them are: Iron chelates, Ferric oxide, Ferrous oxide, Ferrous sulfate, all of these are fast absorption. Greensand, Cottonseed Meal is slow absorption, Garden Manure, which is medium absorption. Manure is most common organic iron source to use.First thing I'd do is to post a pic and confirm what it is?

i hate it when people say post a pic.....anyway most iron def ..is caused by high ph ....if your ph is good make sure you are using a name brand hydoponic fert that has a chelating agent ..Ethylenediaminetetraacetate (EDTA) is the most common chelating agent found in synthetic fertilizers.

Also keep this in mind buddy, To much Iron can cause a problem that looks like a PH imbalance, Brown spotting on the top leaves, mainly fan leaves. Can affect the whole plant.
