My last harvest ended up with a few areas that had sticky little balls, like honey or amber, on the buds. Very sticky. It only affected one of 2 strains I was growing side by side...and as far as I can tell it reduced bud size, but the plants were still harvestable and loaded with crystal, etc.

Growing Indoor in beds, Sunshine #4, Advanced Nutrients, temps in the 70's, good air flow, Ph always between 6.1 and 6.3.

Both strains/cuts came from the club...the problem was on some Cherry Kush (OG X Purp Afghani) and did not affect some Sour D that was growing side by side. The Cherry Kush had some powder issues that I've never had before, which didn't affect the SD either. I got the powder cleared up quickly....but around week 6 (of 9) the Cherry Kush seemed to totally slow down growth and didn't finish right. I saw a few small sticky balls like amber or honey when I was finishing/harvesting...and when trimming I found quite a few more. No sign of bugs, etc.....???

Any ideas? I've been growing for years and never seen this before....thx
