Do you know what causes it?
^^^ This. ^^^." 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 thewater 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 tip or edge structures,hydathodes or water glands, forming drops. Root pressure provides the impetus for this flow, rather than transpirational pull."

I see pics of others that don't....most likely not a true glue...Oh hell yeah....So do all the gorilla types have this frost like that?
I love how they almost look like rose rocks.
UPDATE ----------------
I was looking her over and noticed this happening ...
Seems she is oozing sugar drops ( sweet taste ) , and guess its from lower temps ( 63-66 at night ) but am not too worried .... Looks cool.

Just glucose or sugar, I had a sour diesel cut that did this. We thought it was thc ooze at first back then but after a little rational thinking we realized it was just excess sugar. It looks cool though
That's Phloem Sap !Do you know what causes it?
Thanks man, I was too lazy to investigate this myself but I'm glad you put it up so I could learn something the easy way. CheersThat's Phloem Sap !
Phloem is the living tissue that transports the organic compounds made during photosynthesis (known as photosynthate), in particular the sugar sucrose, to all parts of the plant where needed.
It happens when the pressure of the sap moving hits a weak spot in it's cellular wall and causes it to rupture and thus you get a small release.....
Use of Silica can help stop it but, it's not really a concern!
It's not a "root" sap......Sorry about that @BuzzD2Kill @elkamino ......The sweetness gives it away......Nutrient compounds from the roots are more bitter and not sweet..they flow in a different manor....Moisture is given off by the plant as vapor during photosynthesis - "transpiration"! Transpiration does not happen at night.
Plants will, if need be, preform an operation called Guttation. That does use the hydathodes to help remove excess moisture from the plant. This does happen at night and the moisture may sometimes be seen at the tip of the leaf and at the tip of the leaf serrations......It would look like this -
The thing is MJ is not partial to growing in conditions that might cause this.....(Extended over-watering/growing in swampy always wet conditions)......Chances are you will never see this in your plants...The plants that do this are wet condition growing plants
Fuck yeah... Everyones gg4 & diesel/kush crosses look pretty damn goodBest thread on this site!
Guttation is right, that is what its called. I should have linked my entire post. Its not root sap, nor did I say it is. The roots take in water at night when the stomata in the leaves are closed, this creates a pressure in the plant which pushs it out. The sugars get pushed out not "root sap". GjThat's Phloem Sap !
