I did a little test on some in the ground plants the other day, to see if I could do with some additional N. New beds using native soil and amendments, I just wasn't sure.
Days later, on the plants I fed a little extra N to, I found pests had moved in.
Apparently, they're fans of new, and vigorous growth.
Leaf Hopper:

Aphids:

So, to help prevent attracting some pests, keep your N at an adequate lecel, but don't feed too much.
I took care of the leaf hoppers by hand. The aphids I hit with water and will just hope their enemies thin them out.
This was on both a Cannabis plant, and a tomato plant.
