No chance for a pic, Audi? Sure would simplify things...

Later today I'll see if I can get some pics from my buddy for you to look at. He's got a strain that's been oozing SWEET goodness from the buds. But, it doesn't get hard or turn red. (well, maybe kinda reddish)

Curious what strain you're growing.
It almost sounds like it's just the plants fluids, oozing a bit. The fact that it dries up HARD seems to indicate that it is primarily water, which is leaving the red substance as it evaporates. Just a guess.
It's too early for any resins to have formed and degraded to a dark color, and that doesn't get real hard, anyway.

Is the substance tacky at all, or rock hard?
Have you tasted it? <--- Yes, I'm serious.
