You've some jungle leaves on those plants and bending them really opened up the bud sites, great job even the super cropped one came back with flyin colors. These plants are amazing aren't they? Lester's right about the males, once you fall in love with the plant it's hard to cut it down even though you have to, unless you want seeded buds in the Fall. Growing outside is great to watch and I really look forward to being able to do it one day.
Looking great Swanga, should have some decent sized plants by the end
Looking great, when I see leaf munching like that I usually just assume its a caterpillar and then I fully inspect every square inch of the plant. If the plant is too big to inspect or there are just too many I can't notice then I'd spray with Bt or Azamax.
In vegetation this type of thing isn't a problem, it's when we get to flower it becomes a huge problem. So be prepared
I love how stout they are as well! It's actually organic with fresh fertile soil from my pomegranate tree mixed in 
And at the beginning of this journal you see how the largest plant started out tiny like my other ones! lol and i have excellent ventilation in my pots and habitually clear the drainage holes and loosen up the soil by gently inserting a iron rod to make sure we don't have any blockages :

How many do you have planted in the ground outside? Why not put them all in the ground? Too much exposure?
