Hey friend,
So these puncture/bite marks only make me think of a few pests. Grasshoppers, snail/slug, caterpillar/worms because of the bite marks i wouldn't think of any other pest....if you're able, try to examine the bottoms of any leaves and on the trunk to see if you see anything.
Otherwise if you only see activity in this one spot, is it possible a finger could have also done the damage? I know I'm usually suspect #1 when i find holes and chunks out of leaves with my clumsy hands and fingernails.
For bugs i always think having diamataceous earth around is a good idea because it will kill many varieties of bugs, its food grade (safe for pets etc), and it turns into a silica supplement for the plant. All you would do is dust the soil, the trunk...maybe some leaves and if a bug crosses it...boom outerbody broken down!
Otherwise i think caterpillars inch worms and cabbage loopers are all basically the same family and a nice BT spray works well. Good luck with the hunt, hopefully they'll be easy to spot. ✌️

Or! I got something similar but it wasnt bugs. You have to be careful when watering with nutes. Put water in soil, dont on leafs. They are delicate in contact with nutes.

Have you tried spray from local garden center?
Or, carefully removing by hand?

Can anyone help sort out the issue I'm seeing on the lower leaves? I think I'm either between nutrient burn or potassium deficiency? I did up the nutrients a bit this week when I saw yellowing, but also have had high runoff pH the whole grow. Though haven't seen any other issues.Week 13

A number of lower fan leaves have started to yellow and die on both plants. I have increased FloraMicro dosage but it doesn't seem to have helped. Is this something other than an N deficiency? I think it is too early for the plant to be scavenging resources from the fan leaves.Week 10

not inexperienced but my first scrog and indr photo grow. Only problem is lower temps (nothing I can do to fix this) which may be slowing growth. Any thoughts on defo, training to advance to flower? Been a long veg. and wondering if I’m doing something wrong or just impatient?Week 7

Other than being autoflower & transplanting couple times, which I won't do next time, are there any other reasons for stunted growth during veg phase? Or are my logs normal & I'm just impatient? I've put every detail I can think of in my diary.Week 3

What is going on with the Special Kush? Check out her sugar leaves - and it's only on them, it's not in the buds and it's not on the fan leaves. Deficiency? The other plants don't have it. Some kind of fungus? I removed all leaves that had it, and it returned on the other leaves.Week 16

In picture 3 above the new growth on the main cola sites is curled up and contorted. pH is a tiny bit high, TDs run off is around the 400-600 mark over the week. Humidity has been intense for weeks in the high 70s to mid 80s, I'm only watering to feed once a week. Help!Week 9
