Can't tell which problem this is

I never seem to guess the same thing as most others and I never seem to be able to pick a single issue based on other peoples pics. I did a quick look but couldn't find that thread I would have used to avoid starting a new one.

None of my other plants are as far gone as this one so I don't think its simply mid-late flowering die off. My best guess is that it has something to do with iron. I had this same issue with only 1 of my plants in my first grow, it had a lot of yellowing, then it started to turn purple and didn't seem to grow just get more purple (bagseed). It looks like this one might do the same thing as I can see some purple starting to come in on that one leaf. I mixed up the seeds in germination, this plant is either Bubblelcious, Haze #1, or Papaya all from Nirvana.

Thanks for any help guys.
PS: This plant seems to be yellowing all over while the others are still just yellowing off their fan leaves first (slowly moving up if still moving up at all).

That looks like a slight lack of nitrogen w/ some natural yellowing that occurs during flowering, your plant looks good bud don't worry. She looks like she might be ready in a couple weeks also.

Yeah I figured because of how much worse she is than the others she will probably come down in a week instead of 2 (so she will have had exactly 8 weeks of 12/12)

Maybe it is N and I'm just nervous about giving them N late in flowering. But there isn't any in my flowering bottle of EJ so maybe I should give her another dose of Veg nute?

I wouldn't bother adding any N rich nutes, ive read around somewhere it won't do your plant any good at the stage your at; wish i could source that quote for yah.
And although your leaves are yellow they look happy and the plant looks healthy, jus keep doing what you were and very Nice Job!

that is a N deficiency....the whole yellowing in flower is not "normal" you want your plant green from start to finish top to bottom.all of my plants normally get a mix of veg/bloom nutes from start to finish.also if feeding with molasses....molasses has a good amount of N in it...and if feeding it to much it will cause N lockout.so dont buy into the hype that yellowing in flower is normal..the people saying that are the same ones saying the N is useless during flower.....not only is N a major component in keeping your plant healthy and green..its also important in the curing process as N helps to break down sugars and starch.most of the yellowing for people happens during the 2-4 week of flowering...why is that?thats because they have stopped the veg nutes and are only giving it bloom nutes...and since they are not getting a balanced NPK ratio...they start to yellow due to lack of N

Yeah I can believe its a lack of N I guess I just didn't think it would be something as big/obvious as that because the other plants are doing much better and each 2 gallon airpot and each 3 gallon were treated the same as those of its size (and since there is 1 other plant of that strain and it isn't yellowing so quickly I figured it had to be something else, I think I might give it a low dose of N today.

every strain and plant is different.you can have 2 clones from the same mother that need different things at various stages of growth.never go by the group.pay attention to each plant and each one will tell you what it needs

but it looks pretty far along in flower...not too far from chop time...and that looks like a bubblelicious to me..im about to start growing a few papaya's and bubblelicious myself
