Being outdoors gives it a higher chance of getting bugs right?

As long as the leaves arent touching the ground then its fine. If the bugs want your plant they are gonna get to it regardless.

Its still providing the other half of the leaves nutrients to plant. I only pull off leaves that come off themselves with a slight tug. Whats eating the leaves?

Defoliating is mainly beneficial for indoor plants with light limitations that are very leafy. Like I am growing cornbread right now. It's lineage is bubba kush. I will remove all her fan leaves every few weeks in veg and she will come back in 5 days, twice as bushy, but her structure has changed. All those little suckers at the bottom and small shit has rose to the top and now I don't have to lollipop.

The line of bushes behind the plant is prone to em was hopping they stayed on them but they seem to have moved over

Ya, I saw the bushes. I would try to trim them back away from your plant if you can.

Nolo Bait and Semaspore for grasshoppers. And leaf bug? You mean the ones that actually look like a leaf?
