Is yellowing normal now that I'm flowering

Hey guys / gals this is my first time ever getting a plant to this stage in it's life. It's grown in a 5 gal DWC using DYNO BLOOM it is also an auto flower. I am wondering if I should be giving it something else right now or is the yellowing of the leaves normal as it gets closer to end of life cycle. I guess is overall does the plant look like it is doing what it is suppose to or am I doing something wrong that may still be correctable?pic3.jpgpic2.jpgpic1.jpg
 
So should I just also add the recommended amount of the DYNA-GROW nutrient as well? Have I already screwed this up or can I recover?
 
The yellowing on your plant looks to me to be either a nutrient deficiency or possibly nutrient lockout from too much of something. A little bit of fade at the end is not a big deal in my opinion but that is too much fade and too early. Also, the way that your plant is yellowing is not "normal", usually, when I see fade in plants it is toward the end of their lives, is confined to mostly the bottom of the plant, and is predominantly confined to the oldest fan leaves.

The answer to yellowing is not always to add more, sometimes it is the result of an imbalance causing a lockout of certain nutrients. Of course, the best way to know for sure would be to do a SAP analysis, but they are expensive and take time. It wouldn't be worth it cost wise for one plant, and with the turnaround time I don't think you would have adequate time to correct the issue once you got the results. If you haven't been heavy handed with your nutrients then lockout is unlikely and in that case, a good broad spectrum fertilizer could help.

To be fair I don't know shit about hydro, I grow outdoor in the soil, so take my advice with a grain of salt, good luck. :)

Bill what would you say about these petioles, the ones from the darkgreen leaves are still normal, but these from the yellow leaves, where the plant may have sucked the mobile nutrition out of them have this typical dark purple discoloration.
And with the most yellow leaves even their veins are affected.

Some close-ups:

I can actually reproduce this by just putting a rooted cut into an inert coco & just give water. Upon proper fertilization it will grow out - when affecting the stem it will give these "foxed" stripey looks for some time.

Is that an autoflower?
