Do you have a dog? My former lab jojo, left alone in the yard would eat mine. My current lab, Jasmine can’t get enough of it. I spray my outdoor once a week with organic bug killer from Monterey—even through flower, entire harvest gets washed with H2o2 solution.

My vote is cat. My cats love my leaves, but only the tip half, they will absolutely never eat the whole leaf.

Oh if I present them a leave to munch on, they will first eat the tips and then the rest too.. I can pop my head in the tent pluck a leaf and hold it out of the tent behind me whilst I keep inspecting the plant and if I pull it back in I'm just holding the stem. Pirañas I tell you!
If they get into the tent then indeed they will just munch the tips until they are full on that.

hehe, I never let them in the room anymore, I just bring out a small handful, so I guess that is why they eat only the tips, I'm offering a generous enough salad apparently.

Yeah you need fence it off.. those leaves are attractive to loads of creatures..
And then even if you put chickenwire round it some snail or caterpillar will get through.
I remember we tried some guerrilla growing in a forest a couple of times.. those were munched to bits.

I don’t know man— I think jasmine got in your yard
Big bug, cricket, grasshopper, leaf hopper, katydid, something along those lines (if it’s not a pet).
I have the exact same chewed up leaf patterns. Mine are in the tent and there are no dogs, cats, or rabbits in there. I do have some fungus gnat looking thing flying around, but I didn't think they would chew on the leaves. I'm spraying them with a solution of water tea tree oil soap, peppermint oil soap, alcohol and peroxide and it's keeping them beat down but not eradicated. I think they are coming from the bag of Vigaro potting soil as a few fly out when I open the bag and I'm getting re-infested every time I re-pot or root a cutting. Let me know if you find out for sure or if you want spray solution formula.Grateful for any info you guys got
