There's slugs all over the place. Haven't seen caterpillars. What do I do

Pick them at night when they are active and kill them.
Place bowls full of beer around plants because slugs love beer and will drown while trying to drink!
Spread sand, egg shells, lime,etc around plants. Snails have a hard time getting over these sharp materials.
Wrap copper wire around bases of stems. Snails get an electric shock when trying to cross copper.

I don't believe the damage is from slugs. I see no trails going into my pots but new damage...even on d.e dusted leaves. No caterpillars spotted yet at all

Grasshoppers brooooo
You will have to put up with them till you start to flower..then they back off. Manually grab them and body slam them to the ground and smash em

Could it be the tiny leafhoppers I see? About the size of a grain of rice?

Naaa Ive tried about everything..you really have to stay on them . Last year I slacked for a week and there were so many of them they started to eat my top shoots at the stem. But if you dont see anymore damage it was probably just a drive by munch. I had 40-6ft plants..I was in hopper hell for awhile
