clear sticky substance on leaves??

[barbear]

I have a question on identification of a clear sticky substance that has appeared on 3 of my Bubblelicious plants. It collects along the edges of the leaves (not all of them, just 5 or six on each plant). Female plants, 40 days into grow, 400w HPS, No bugs that I can see and the girls are super healthy otherwise. Any suggestions? Tks for input.

Curious? but do they recieve water from above? or below? i had some white water spots appear after spraying leaves during vegging.

Flip the sticky leaves over and report what is on the under side.

Some strains are just naturally drippy. My purple kush in hydro dripped like mad - I touch the plant to move a leaf aside and my hand got wet. Didn't happen with the white widow next to it.

Don't be concerned unless your relative humidity is over 50% and you're in flowering. Even then, some strains prefer such conditions.

Thanks, you are probably right bout that. Bubblelicious is the only strain with this situation. Thanks again,

if it's like water, the plant is probably just transpiring, which shouldn't be sticky. if it's not, it is probably trichomes. you want those!

Is it THC?
