Unknown leaf damage

Any ideas on what could be causing this leaf damage? I'm growing outside so I suspected it's some kind of pest. However, it's only occurring on two of my six plants. The two it's occurring on are the same strain, so maybe its a genetic/environment thing instead? Thanks! 😎

That patchy yellowing and physical leaf tearing looks like typical outdoor pest damage from sucking insects like leafhoppers, thrips, or plant bugs. Certain strains have softer leaf tissue or specific terpene profiles that attract bugs much more than others, which explains why only that specific strain is affected. Check the undersides of the leaves and the stems early in the morning or at dusk to catch the culprits active. Apply an organic treatment like Neem oil or insecticidal soap thoroughly during the late evening to avoid sun-burning the foliage. Keep a close eye on the new growth to ensure the damage has stopped spreading after your treatment.

Bugs...........damage from some sort of "sap sucking" insect. Definitely not a fungal/bacterial disease or caused by a nutrient deficiency or any sort of weird root problem.
