It's a little late now to do anything, just give it water until she's done
Leaves are a good thing to have on a plant btw
keep it real.

Doesn’t look like rot to me? Clawing is typically a sign of too much nitrogen. I’m sure you have looked a lot from your first grow, keep it up!

Where did the leaves go?

Leaves don’t cause bud rot
Removal of leaves is done indoors to allow light to penetrate the canopy
Outdoors the sun has no problem in this area
Sadly that plant will be lucky to produce an ounce of buds

Is this an outdoor grow? If so when was she planted initially? She looks pretty small. I tossed a clone in a bag of soil that had sat outside for over a year & it’s turning out ok after a transplant. I only removed leaves when I noticed powdery mildew for the first time, and a second time about 2 weeks ago to make for slightly better air flow. 
If you want bigger plants, you’d have to start sooner & not defoliate as much. No drowning them, or letting them dry out too much & you should have better results next round. The leaves that were removed would have taken the burns & deficiencies on the chin for the sake of the rest of the plant.
Here is an example of the bigger fan leaves taking the hit as far as nitrogen toxicity (too much) as the leaves closer to the buds are fine.
(This is a separate plant from above btw)

Only you would know if this plant has been properly watered for say, the last couple of weeks ? And how it's been fed ? If you kinda feel like maybe it hasn't had enough of one, the other, or both, it probably hasn't. If the clawing tips of a green healthy leaf perk up when you hit it with water, would support that idea some. To me, the leaves you have that aren't dying back with burnt tips don't look overloaded with N, and under watering / under feeding might well present like what is shown here.
I take little or no issue with the lack of leafage. It's mid September man, and buds are trying to bulk up. To me, the plant needs enough leafage to perform adequate photosynthesis and store some water, and that's it. Beyond that, the resources your plant is taking up can either go to making little buds big, or they can go to supporting ounces or pounds of leaves that have become redundant and serve mainly to block light and air movement and will eventually be trimmed away anyhow. You also get a good opportunity to look for worms and other late season issues as you take that stuff off. I have only 3 this year, here is the biggest
Yes, it looks like a Truffula Tree ala The Lorax and Charlie Browns Christmas tree had a baby. I grew this strain last year too, so I have that yield as a measuring stick. Barring the catastrophic, I judge it will come in 12+ and won't be surprised if it hits a pound. Some branches are clearly strained already so I will support them and put the cage back against the wind and rain that will surely come. Is there something all that leafage was going to do for it that I'm missing ?
Good luck cody, stay in you'll do better as time goes by.

That's what I'm saying I have 2 plants this one is so skimpy my other is starting to get thick buds not sure what went wrong with this oneLeaves don’t cause bud rot

My boyfriend tried to trim them thinking he knew what he was doing

Maybe you and your bf should grow independently of each other next year. Have yourselves a grow-off. At least one each of the same strain, whoever has the higher dry weight gets to pimp walk for a weekend. Should be a lot of fun.

No two plants grow the same unless they are clones
It’s just the way it is
