Leaf yellowing, suspected Magnesium or Nitrogen deficiency.

I have attached some pictures of an auto flowering low ryder #2

Since the attached photo it has progressed to affecting the entire plant, it is currently 2 weeks into flowering, was about 10 days in when I took the photo.

I suspect it is either nigrogen deficiency or magnesium, but I am confused as I have been dosing a good organic bloom fertilizer (at half doses) for 2 weeks now, but the problem has progressed.

It is definitely not heat or light damage and I don't think it's nutrient burn.

The soil used was a specialized organic mix (which even states it has little nutrients in it), without diging out the bag I can't give you much more info on the soil atm.

I have three plants and for some reason this one is affected much worse...it is further into bloom and it is in a smaller pot that the other two (the other two however are heading this way).

Any help is much appreciated.

The above picture was taken about 3-4 days ago....It now looks like this....

My fertilizer is plant magic - oldtimers organic bloom 3-5-4

I have included a picture of one of the other plants for comparison.
 
Mg deficiency, I can see how one would think N def though. A N def. would have a more uniform yellowing of the bottom leaves with yellowing of the veins as well.
This one shows yellowing between the veins throughout the plant, which is either S or Mg in most cases.
Give it some Cal mag
 
Bump,

Anymore ideas anyone? My initial thought was mag deficiency...I was torn between that and nitrogen though, so I have dosed a tiny bit of epson salts and slightly raised fertilizer dosing (I was on the very low end of the scale anyway).
 
N DEF! but that plant is probably root bound also i would transfer it to a bigger pot and feed with high N water
 
its an N def for sure man dont be torn. good way to tell (rootbound will cause this too) is the lower most leaves yellow will fall off first
 
feed it and add some cal/mag...........cover both problems. another feed of same strength, and a dose of Mg. i...m....o
 
N deficiency starts low on the plant........Mg deficiency starts at the new grow tips. With the "cricklely" look of the leaves, I'd recommend 10ml cal/mag per gallon for a few waterings and then down to 5ml per gallon from there on.
