Unhappy Frisian Ducks - Third times the charm (Sorry)

So I've asked this question three times and the plant just keeps getting worse. I'm sorry if I should be bumping old threads rather than making a new one.

I've had this issue since July, first I thought it was a cal/mag issue:


Then at the start of August, I made another thread :



The odd part is that the Frisian Ducks are the only plants of mine that are struggling. I have a Frisian Dew in the same medium, same nutrients, and no issues. I have a Frisian Duck straight in the ground without being given any nutrients and it has the same issues. I have an Early Skunk in the ground, without nutrients, and it doesn't have any issues.

It seems very much to be a Frisian Duck related issue. The question is just, what is the issue? I've been increasing nutrients for the last few weeks and it has made no difference.


And here's where we are now, as you can see half of the leaves are looking unhappy.

I think that you're right about it being a problem specific to the strain, occasionally I grow a strain that just is not happy with the way that I grow. I grew two 89 Northern lights last year and the whole year they were more pale and yellow than the other strains that I grew right next to them. Same soil same nutrients everything the same.
The only thing that I would say, from looking at your grow, is that it seems very windy where you are, some plants don't take wind very well. Is there a way that you could set up something to buffer the wind a little? A small wall of shade cloth, or something, set up far enough away that it doesn't block light but does buffer winds?

My best guess is that they wanted more N during veg so they started self canabalizing to satify growth needs.

If my reserch is to be trusted(probably not) frisian strains were breed to servive fairly harsh climates(cold/wet) so they probably have a few "bend dont brake" survival responses, or are more sensitive to hot or dry summers

Looks hungry to me.

Northern lights was actually one of the plants I considered this year, will do it next year for sure.

Maybe the wind is the culprit, hadn't really considered it, always felt like more of a nutrient issue somehow.

Plausible. I have only really been increasing the feed a lot over the last few weeks, since pre-flower, so perhaps it's too little too late?

I think it looks hungry too, but I've just fed it a lot recently, both top dress bone meal (that has nitrogen too) and increased nitrogen in liquid feeds and it doesn't seem to change anything.
