Puddles of liquid that appear on leaves out of nowhere?

[Milovan]

I can't be the only one that gets these small clear
puddles that looks like water on leaves that when dry turn to a white
powder that does not spread or cause any kind of damage?
I get this on random leaves in and outdoor
with nothing over head that might lead to condensation.
They also appear on top of leaves that are under
other sets of leaves without any puddles on those upper leaves.
I get these "puddles" of liquid daily on random
leaves. The only thing I could think causes this is
that plants naturally excrete salt build up in the form
of puddles and when dry turn white on your leaves. I'm tempted to
taste this stuff to see if it is salty.
Good thing my plants are female in this case lol.
Anyone know what is going on?

Thanks for this question....I see those freakin' puddles and think "Dag, did I just drool or something onto this leaf cause I watered days ago"

All makes sense now. Shit, its sweet......I might just taste it then!

 

[Dwezelitsame]

for question or for answer

Just as I hoped. Makes sense that it's sweet being females.

Some of the puddles are much larger
and the same as shown in your pic.
My plants just started budding so this sweet
liquid is on random fan leaves and even
on the top of one small bud so far. Started excreting
mid thru late veg and now into flowering.

Puddling on growing leaves is due to moisture transpiration through the leaf.

Yeah, the puddles i see are on the fan leaves. Not on the actual buds.

Either way, doesn't seem to be a bad thing, right?

No harm done at all but weird how mostly always the
puddles appear on the same sets of leaves?
I do have a small puddle on one small bud though so obviously
these sweet moisture puddles do not appear just on leaves as evident in
the picture above also. Wonder if smoking the sweet residue after
the moisture dried on the bud would make the smoke taste sweeter?
Probably not. Just a thought....you never know unless you try it.
Are those drops on a cured bud in the pic or is the bud freshly picked
off the plant with drops on it?

mine had that also but only wen leafs touch one another. is rare to see it i my tent tho unless its over stacked with plants n leafs touch

im thinking thats what im expirencing also! its like a crystalized liquad on fan leaves just thought it was a genetic problem or something didnt really know its only on a few leaves on whole plant and its really hairy whatever leaf its on!
