Plant is oozing Sap??

[Zaaboot]

First time for me - I have never seen this before

The plant was oozing, it is not just in one place, I dabbed a bit with my finger and it is very very sticky and the taste is sweet.

Very strange - honey producing plant - any ideas?

It has already come down, this is curiosity more than anything else

Never saw this either, but you got some healthy trychomes should be awesome smoke.

It will be potent.. I found some on the tip of a calyx on a Night Owl Seeds, Blue Microverse..

It's guttation. There's other articles on it if you feel like looking them up. I just grabbed the first.

Correct.

And it's not desirable.

Guttation typically happens at night when the medium is very moist and the roots absorb water. Plants have to balance out the water in their system; if there is too much water, root pressure causes the water to squeeze out of the plant through tiny pores called "hydathodes," and onto the tips of the leaves of the plant. Guttation relies on pressure, so it happens more easily in smaller plants versus say trees.

As water from the growing medium passes through the guttation process, it picks up dissolved sugars and minerals, enzymes, etc and is called xylem sap.
It's not a "pool of THC," and it likely will burn like burnt sugar, smell like burnt sugar, throat hit like burnt sugar, and otherwise is not something you really want to consume.

There's an online article by Leafly that tried to sensationalize guttation with a cultivar called Pinkman's Goo, but the reality is it can happen to most any cannabis plant, and even house plants, etc.

Here's an example of guttation from a Sweet Seeds Red Poison I grew up a few years ago:

I've never seen cloudy sap like that.

Thank you very much - appreciate the time you took to write

Very interesting, like I say I have never seen it before, it looks intriguing and in a way nice - but more important to get to the root cause!

Based on this input, the set up had four, quickly down to three plants, the 4th feeder sat in the res agitating the water a little. Then there were two plants, I then added the two unused droppers one to each pot - not something I normally do so that has to be it

Thanks again

That is certainly the stuff - as it is drying now shall I wait for it to dry totally as normal then try to pick it out or does it stay liquify
