Guttation, and what your seeing is a sap exudate.... At night, transpiration usually does not occur because most plants have their stomata closed. When there is a high soil moisture level, water will enter plant roots, because the water potential of the roots is lower than in the soil solution. The water will accumulate in the plant, creating a slight root pressure. The root pressure forces some water to exude through special leaf tips or edge structures, hydathodes, forming drops. Root pressure provides the impetus for this flow, rather than transpirational ascent. This sap exudate can be clear, tan, brown or even blood red(The red color is due to haematin compounds and anthocyanin pigments that naturally build up in some varieties; The red color may also indicate a nutrient deficiency, notably of nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, or magnesium) This sap usually contains a variety of organic and inorganic compounds, mainly sugars, and mineral nutrients, and potassium. Upon drying, a white crust remains on the tissue surface. Guttated sap exudates most commonly exude from cannabis, along both sides of the leaf axil, where the petioles attach to the stem. Though Guttations typically exude(in most plants) through modified leaf stomata known as hydathodes, in cannabis guttations most commonly exude at the leaf axil, or another part of the stem via a stoma

Sorry to hijack, is sap a bad thing? I'm growing in soil and near harvest but I have sap on my plant, I have had problems getting the soil to dry, is this my reason for sap? I'm a noob to this.

to get the soil dry let it be, dont add water. if you see the plant wilt go for it, but otherwise dont water until the pot is dry and light, and then add about 1/4th the pot volume in water, then repeat.
seems like the causes of this sap are the real issues. like too much water, and depending on color may be symptoms of deficiencies.

Sap is clear and tastes sweet, plant hasn't shown any problems, praying leaves, the soil is always moist not wet. The only downside is small dense buds.

Realised awhile ago it was a problem so I was going to try coir next grow, hopefully that should help.

I had a slhaze do this before without pine honey? And molasses. Always wondered what it was
