Water coming out of leaves...normal?

[WeedNeedy]

I was inspecting my plants just now trying to determin their sex...(best plant is female, woo!) and i noticed on just like two fingers on two of my plants, had some water on it......i thought it was weird cause i havnt watered since yesterday....i touched the water and smelt it and it smelt almost like grapefruit....i've never heard of this before, is this normal? im not really concerned, i've just never heard of water forming on the top of leaves before....maybe its a sign of overwatering? if anyone knows please let me know, if my plants are trying to tell me something is wrong then i'd like to fix it...thanks as always, Weedneedy

I suspect it's just condensation between leaves. That happens during the dark cycle if there is no air or space between leaves or you lack air movement. Nothing to worry about.

It's called transpiration . Yes it's normal .

it happens on my plants too but only if the leaves are touching

Thats kind of strange. I noticed it during the current grow using T5's and found it weird. Never noticed it under HPS.
