Looking for help identifying what sort of pests are potentially causing this. Towards the end of week 6.
Plants are still growing great but it seems like every morning when I check on them I'm finding some new cuts or holes in a few leaves. I've caught a few fungus gnats on sticky traps (like 5 in about as many days). I have a layering of diatomaceous earth I've been adding to the top of the promix for the past few days. When I first started to suspect something I had started spraying with neem oil before lights out every night or two during weeks 4 and 5 and have a light breeze across the plants most of the time. Yesterday I took the plants out back and hosed them down with moderate pressure with the hose and returned back to the tent.

I've searched above and below on much of the plants but I'm not seeing much. I'm at the point now where the plants are getting quite bushy so spraying neem oil on the tops and bottoms of all the leaves is quite a process now and we're into preflower.

I'm looking for any ideas on what, if any, pests are causing this. what I should do, or if I'm over worried and should just leave the plants be.

Caterpillar or wasp, most likely a caterpillar. They can be very difficult to find. There are some wasps that eat leaves but usually they leave half moon shape holes.

:goodluck:
