I’m still pretty new to growing and I woke up today and I started noticing all these little holes on most of my plants, I just picked them up from low stress training and some of the leaves are looking like this . I inspected them for bugs and I didn’t see anything , I’ve seen 2 daddy long legs in my tent before . could it be possible that they drop in and leave ? confused

If you fimmed them awhile back or was really aggressive w/LST it’s possible the leaves have simply grown out with those tears. They don’t look like holes from leaf munchers but that is certainly a possibility.
Get some Monterrey garden spray w/spinosad if you are worried about bugs but this would likely be a preventative measure. A caterpillar could eat holes that big that fast but you would also have seen them skulking around your garden. Thrips are another possibility but it would take a very large infestation for them to eat holes like that. Daddy long legs are harmless... Would not hurt to give them a spray either way.
Take a good look at the underside of the leaves under mag; thrips are very hard to see but more common than caterpillars. They usually leave behind telltale white splotches after they munch on the veins of the leaf; the capillary veins turn white. Adding neem seed meal to your soil mix before there are plants growing in it can help prevent future outbreaks of most leaf munchers if in fact that is the root problem.

Hey man did you figure out what the heck the holes were from yet. It seems like the same issue I'm having. You would happen to be using Fox farm soil would you?
