Never seen this before. Been doing it for about a week now. Just curious if anyone knows why?
Leaves/stems splitting and oozing sap

About 38. Could’ve been drier recently as it’s really sunny... that’s probably why. Don’t use a hygrometer just know it’s dry.
Strange response though don’t you think? Never seen this - others are fine and have flowered in much drier conditions - high 20’s

At a first glance it looks like transpiration. When the humidity is to high, the transpiration can't evaporate. But I have only observed that when plants are to close and the transpiration from the underside of one leaf condense on the upperside of the leaf next to it. But when I take a closer your pictures it looks like the plant is bleeding through cracks in the stem. I agree, that's strange.
If the stems and veins of the leaves is in bad condition, I would calibrate the PH-meter and then check the PH in the nutrient solution as well as the run off. It might be a nutrient lockout. I killed a whole grow room once when I got lazy and didn't calibrate the PH-meter. The disaster started with dead veins and weird colorations on stems and curling. I can't tell for sure from the pictures, but it looks like one leave is twisting upside down in the second picture.
Please update this thread when you have solved the mystery with the oozing stems.

Ive measured the pH with a professional pH probe and it’s measuring 5.7 so yeah it is off. New soil and I didn’t lime this plant and the pH crashed mid flower. The other one I limed and was a good 6.3 and stayed green until harvest.
Ive had plants in pH 4.8 not showing this symptom, good be genetic response to low pH? Quite bizarre but definitely pH related

It happened to me with a blueberry headband one time.
the centre of the leaf stem opened up and oozed.
It will congeal soon and form into a harder stickier substance.

A part of me wants to taste some lol
Gonna check the plant over as I don’t want this sap oozing on my buds making them prone for mold
