Help what is eating my plants?

I have a few plants outside and something is eating on them. It seems only to happen where I pinch the plant. I have 3 ideas, Grasshoppers, squirrels, or mice or the odd chance chickens. I think mice or the squirrels.
I need to keep these as short as possible and we are weeks away from the start of flower. I don't need 6-foot-tall plants.

I did spray neem oil a 2 days ago to help get down the grasshoppers and we have very light aphids too. I think the aphids will die soon. Been 5 straight days of 100f temps.
Thank you for your help.

The only thing I have sprayed is neem max. 1 time and this was happening before I sprayed. They look like shit a lot of times when I pinch them but always bounce back. 1 has a hole chewed in it and shes still alive.
 
Wow, nice plants I hate to see this happening.

I'd look for a good fungicide and add that to your neem spray regimen. It's not often you see a mature limb in a canopy rot off. There are many that attack cannabis.

If your seeing a random small hole in effected stems ya may find a stem boring caterpillar inside. Moths lay the eggs and when hatched they bore into the stem. Cause lots of damage.

Spinosad products work well on a lot of the pests cannabis attracts.

Thank you, my plants are looking awesome. They're about 5 ft in diameter all the way around. And we have not hit preflower stretch yet. I'm afraid they're still going to be 6 ft tall LOL.

Can I add Spinosad to neem oil? Should I be spraying once a week? Or spray them separate three or four days apart?
 
Oh they gonna get big..lol.

I'm not a big one on mixing stuff together. I'd check out a Google search on it first. But I'd see no harm in alternating each week between the neem and spinosad.
