sticky amber balls....what pest?

[aloha]

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

It's called resin. Your, and I quote, "years" of experience should have told you that. Post photos next time.

Not resin....duh. I'll get some pix. Its balls about 1/8", honey or amber colored. Its similar to what stem borers do to citrus...

Resin....I hope you're joking....

What's it smell like when you rub it between your (clean) fingers?

If it smells like deez, it is probably fumunda mold. It's a sap pocket. Epic freaking fail on the years of experience!

your bad attitude is not helpful.... perhaps a link to fumunda mold on cannabis?:S2:

No, it doesn't smell at all. Epic fail? Haha...let's see some of your Kronic. Internet tough guy. I've grown more pounds than you (and your family) weigh...
