Plants producing water droplets

hi,

just wondering why my plants are producing some water droplets on their leaves?

is this normal? it is occurring on my AK-48's.

condensation of some sort?

the water usually forms on a leaf where it is touching another leaf.

i know for a fact that nobody is watering the plants on the leaves so there is no reason for it to be there, is there?

thanks

I haven't experienced that, but I live in an area of really low humidity.

Are you sure it's moisture? Many strains produce "chrystally" spots on their leaves. To the naked eye they could be mistaken as moisture droplets. Take a magnifying glass of some sort and get a good close up look. Some insects leave little droplets behind also, if you have bugs you really need to do a close up look!

hi, it might have something to do with humidity.

i'm positive it is moisture. there can be a lot of it, i just wipe it off so it doesn't magnify the light and burn it!

thanks

I'd up my circulation, like run a oscillating fan on appropriate speed, maybe not right at my plants, or bump whatever fan I was using up a notch?

It's unusual. I've never seen that before and would think I would have at some point?

Your plants are transpiring, but the water is going no where, so it collects on the leaves. So yeah, like Mr. Fishy said, up the circulation and it should help solve the problem. If that doesn't work, then you need to find a way to bring the humidity down in your room.

Hope this helps. :P
 
Reviving this thread, I too have this issue, at first i thought it was droplets falling from my ducting inside my tent (I let the humidity get too high and there was a bit of condensation on the ducting which fell on the plants...) but since I cleared that problem up, I am seeing some larger water droplets on my babies now. I thought it may have been splashing from when i watered but then I tasted one of the drops of water and it was very salty. Also I found that the droplets would cause a burn on the leaf if not washed off. I am not sure where the hell these drops of water are coming from... what can I do? Is this transpiration? Why would it be salty? Ill try to up my air circulation and see if that helps...
