chopping up leaves

something is eating my babies leafs! this is my first time growing outdoors and something seems to be eating the leafs.. everyday i come back and see a new on eaten up... in the first pic i know its hard to tell but the leaf has white stuff on it with black dots... dont know if thats a bug or a disease

You got a bug eating your plants. When I did grow outdoors, unfortunately I would use pesticides for the first few weeks along with neem oil. This might not be the best solution, but it did work for me. I had the same issue.

Do you post just for post count?
This guy is looking for an answer and you gave him a petty one.
No shit thats a bug lol.

Anyways the pics are to blurry to see.
Check every leaf and check under them.
Also try to get a better pic.

Im sorry for that British

ima check out that neem oil, hopefully it will help and lol ol bud your funny as hell but i checked the whole plant nothing is there.. i have another plant next to this one and nothing seems to be eating that one. i got some leafs from another plant at my house and but it around the base of the plant to see if the bugs would go for those lol is that a good idea or am i just playing with fire... anyway got some new pics so hopefully i can get some more answers

No worries man, rep+

Those can be snails, look around for the slug trails.
Also they could be catipillars, check them every hour if you can.
The smaller ones look like thrips.

Main 3 bugs that will chew on your darling and they all look somewhat similar.

how badly do you think the chopped up leafs will effect my plant ? and can i just scrape the thrips off ?

It wont, its normal for outdoors to have couple bites on them here and their.
But go to homedepot and get EcoSmart spray bottle thats all organic.
Spray under allthe leaves to kill them.
Problem solved
