 My first plant(Outside, preflowering and being eatin alive!) HELP!

Hey everyone! I haven't posted here in a good long while. But I thought I'd drop by and ask for some advice for my babe.
The babe:
Preflowering:
Week after transplant:
Little over 2 weeks after transplant:
   
Obviously critters have gotten to it. What do you think it is? This leaf had the most damage. The rest of the plant is doing just fine.
What can I do to stop this? She is doing well, but I really don't want any bugs to make her sick 
Advice welcome and seriously needed. Thanks!

looks like earwigs, you can put Vaseline in a thick ring around the base stem of the plant so they can't crawl up it... make it nice and deep so they get stuck in it... you could also set up "traps" by rolling up a wet news paper and put rubberbands on it to keep it tight, leave it over night then throw it away in a plastic bag... you could also get a container and put holes near the bottom (about 1/4 inch up on the sides), put a food oil in the bottom with a little tuna in the center and put the whole setup in a dark place with a few twigs sticking into the holes... just empty out your traps every morning and your girls should be just fine 
you must be in the southern hemisphere because that is WAY tiny to be putting it out right now, especially if you want more than an eighth size nug... it looks like your probably in northern cali though

I live in the north-west hemisphere. This is my 1st plant, but I had to bring it outside before it got to big (and smelly).
Also, I don't think earwigs live around here.
Thanks for the heads up on yield though. I've been wondering how much she'd push out. Guess I have to wait and see. I almost went to my knees because of the delightful stench she was giving this afternoon. (Dank as fuck)
Here's some more info:
A few times when I checked up on her, the only insects that I have seen are small little white bugs. Not sure if they're spiders. But I thought something like that would suck on the plant, not eat through it.

the only other thing I could think of that would do this is grasshoppers, they are a little harder to fight off and more praying than anything... are the small little white bugs all over the plant or on the ground? you might get more than an eighth but my girls are already entering flowering (I'm on the west coast of the USA) so it won't get much bigger, your best hope is to give it a high phos fert and maybe some superthrive. You might get a quarter ounce if you do that... what strain? seems mainly indica... haha Yeah that smell will never get old man, and you enjoy the meds SOOOO much more when you grow it yourself

I'm not too sure of the strain. Baby seed of an outdoor hydroponic plant, thats all i know. Judging by erowid ids I thought it to be a hybrid.
Ive only seen the white bugs alone (only one on the plant) a few times. Grasshoppers are most likely my issue. Although i havent caught any of the bastards in action yet.

Try neem oil. Just spray it all over the leaves. Should get rid of the grasshoppers, if that is indeed what's eating the leaves. Neem oil is safe to spray on cannabis.
Check out this thread for other tips.

Maybe they are earwigs. My brother is telling me we used to have a earwig problem when we first moved into our current establishment. I'll keep an eye out and see if if I can spot anything feeding off of it.
However, I am very pleased that any animals haven't gotten to it. Coyote dropping next to the plant lmao.

haha hell yeah, coyote must be protecting it (it attracts animals so its kind of his form of bait)  also if your going to use neem oil, put a shot of it into a spray bottle full of water and add a little Ivory liquid soap (original works best) and shake it up then just spray your plants... it works pretty good but I only really use this when I get spider mites (which is my nemesis  )

Thanks 420milehigh. An old timer told me about the soap technique but couldn't recall details.
There seems to be foxes and wolves as well. I'm sure these guys will fight off the rabbit, chipmunk, skunk, squirrel, mice, rats, raccoon, beaver, muskrat, deer and fisher cats away. All these bastards within a 5 mile radius of my site.
Lots of threats growing outside. I better pay off the coyotes, foxes and wolves :P
This plant was my 1st grow and I'm happy things are well (other than the god damn bugs). From this experience, next year will be very bountiful

Neem is your go to, you should be spraying it before it happens to be honest. Neem doesn't seem to stall it or fuck with it much at all. However for a full scale invasion I go to azatrol which is just a distillate or something of neem. This shit straight fucking MERCS on bugs. It can wilt your leaves though if you spray it too concentrated or too quickly.
also for best results i also spray with a carbonate type fungicide as its starting to flower..
I always hate ripping into that last nug that i have been saving cause it was my favorite, only to find some weird fluffy shit rotting my nugs

I've been going with an all natural approach. Plant it and grow it. Just to experience the life cycle. Bugs only seem to be an issue when we get to much rain here. By my best judgment I assume harvest will come around a month or two. Not to worried about white fluffy rotting shit.

Let us see the results! Mine flowered earlier this year in Arizona but the days got too long and hot in summer. Now is the perfect time for flowering! Looks good!
Also, looks like earwigs to me. They love to hide in the soil in my pots and in my closet.

I'm really guessing here. Maximum I would say is 6 weeks. If you haven't already I would go ahead and give it one last feeding.

Tomorrow she'll get about a half gallon of water. I'm not to sure, but is there a time when I should stop watering her?
By the way, I didn't use anything for this. No chemicals. Some fertilizer before the transplant but sense then, only water.
She is my 1st after all. Just learning the ropes and understanding the life cycle 1st hand.

It doesn't matter you just want her to eat up as much of the available nutrients in the area. Since they are in the ground nothing about that can be done.
Just wait for hard on inspiring trichs and density, cut, dry, cure, smoke.

That's the idea! Once the resin is milky n stuff. I'm waiting for the 1st signs of amber colored crystals. Once I see any of them, she's gettin cut. Me being inexperienced, I'd say she'll be ready in 3-6 weeks. Which ironically is around the time I've been planning.
