Those are some big plants in small pots to not be feeding them.

Really? How long have you been growing outdoors? Only serious problem I have ever had was white flies close too harvest. A few leafhoppers here and there. A few grasshoppers. If I see a bug or two I don't spray, I just monitor closely. We are in the outdoors and there is going to be bugs. If they do seem to be populating I do spray different things for different pest. All organic, unless OMRI changes their mind like they frequently do.

Keep the ground clear and clean underneath and never let your plans touch the ground.

Agree, as soon as a leaf gets close to the ground it's gone.

Lol. Just hose water.

Guessing your the exception? Saw this guy on there this morning.

That's not a pest, that's a beneficial pollinater. Obviously cannabis doesn't need any pollinaters, but this little guy isn't going to hurt your cannabis garden in any way.

This is my fifth year growing outdoors. Grew five years indoors before moving outside. I do have occasional insect damage on my outdoor plants, but the plants are vigorous enough they outgrow the damage. Never had any pest populations worthy of treatment might be a better way of putting it. I don't think a bite here and there negatively effects healthy plants, in fact I think it might stimulate faster growth and natural defenses.

My first year outdoor and I Ann in pots. Pretty sure undersized. It's been ok so far.
