You couldn’t fit them in a tent 
That's got to be a good benefit of refining your growing at the same location, putting the results back in the feedback loop and grow by grow gaining improvements. Your pest strategy is now pretty comprehensive and effective from taking note of those past grows.
That is a great song and brilliant graphics to go with it, wow, that put a smile on my face.
What an amazing option that would be back then, to chuck some stuff in your car and drive down the coast to Mexico for some cheap living and some Acapulco Gold.Some of the experiences of weed that I have had over the decades makes me feel there is definitely something to the effects of stress/drought stress of wind and minimal rain, to how resinous the plants become. I've had wild Nepalese weed in the 80's where this one plant was growing sitting in a small field at a village called Phakding which sits at about 2600m or 8500ft, a Nepalese lady then sold us a couple of big monkey arm 2 foot long colas which absolutely blew us away every time we stopped to smoke it, and as a consequence we had an amazing time trekking for the remaining days to get back to Kathmandu. My memory of it would put it at no less than many of today's esteemed strains.

I believe that the early grow I did some years ago where the plant was baked on the balcony in temperatures in the mid 30'sC, and always noticeably wilted at the end of the day because of the smaller pot used than my recent grows (plus it was a heavy ceramic one that would be very hot to touch in the heat of the sun. The plant's sugar leaves were really stiff like they'd had a few layers of varnish painted on them, and the bud was incredibly sticky but not showing the thick layers of trichomes that appear like the heavy frosting that you see in some strain adverts, it was more like the balls of trichome resin were melting and coating the leaf surface and then growing new balls of resin?!?! Even the White Widow I grew last season didn't have the trichomes that the Gorilla Glue auto displayed and the trichomes it did have seemed very short but nonetheless it was the strongest of the 3 strains I grew, it also seemed that some of the trichome resin balls were melting onto the buds/sugar leaves (they probably weren't, as I haven't heard of that happening, it just seemed that way).
Wind burn damage sounds quite feasible, some places are always windy and the plants adjust to deal with it, and if so, it is probably also feasible that most of the time the plant can cope fine with a bit of collateral damage from the wind. They're mostly pretty tough plants. You could try a diluted kelp foliar spray 2 or 3 times a week if you felt you had to do something but were at a loss of what to do. Last season I felt my plants looked especially perky and happy from being foliar sprayed a couple of times a week, but purely subjective opinion there.

The grow from years ago was the perfect storm for that. It was grown on the same balcony where the heat reaches mid 30'sC in Summer. It's pot was a dark blue ceramic and would get very hot from the sun which must have caused stress on the plant's roots, and that pot was only about 18L which I regard as undersized, and which meant it could not hold enough moisture to last each day without wilting. It would be fair to say there was a certain amount of stress on that plant.
The plant grown several years ago was the one that was exposed to a lot of 'drought/heat stress' throughout it's flowering life and that most resembled the idea of the plant coating it's buds in resin, it's buds and sugar leaves appeared varnished not dull or papery, if you were asked to view and compare it to other plants and then pick which one looked like it could cope in a drought you would probably pick that one, during flowering it's fan leaves were as expected weren't flash, but it's buds and sugarleaves looked tough and varnished to cope with harsh conditions. It was very potent.
I think it is relatively the same here, the peak of the Summer heat is probably early to mid flowering, but then there are changing demands for water by the plant as it's flowering develops. I wonder if perhaps it is like getting old, that even though in late flowering the heat has reduced but by then the plant is aged and doesn't have it's previous youthful vigor to cope but instead makes more resin to protect it, or maybe it's just the delayed effect of the environmental stresses on the plant that eventually shows up more at the end of flowering.
Yes there is that too.
Hopefully that clears it up, I am not well versed in recognizing and dealing with deficiencies. I am hoping that my soil contains everything but using containers does mean that plants can't grow their roots out endlessly to find whatever they need when they're short of something.
