Aphids suck the sap out of tender plant shoots and leaves. They suck the sap in through their beak-like mouths, while injecting leaves with their saliva. Drinking the sap can weaken the plant, and injecting their saliva can spread diseases from plant to plant. In addition, aphids excrete a sticky, clear substance called "honey dew"

Honeydew is a sugar-rich sticky liquid, secreted by aphids and some scale insects as they feed on plant sap.
 
I've had aphids, and not just one or two, but a freakin crazy infestation...They never left anything that looked even close to the droplets in the OP's pics. Jus' sayin'. Plus, if he had an infestation to the point where he notices signs, he'd find the aphids. They're very prolific, and without treatment he would have an undeniable infestation on his hands as well.
 
I've had a numerous outbreaks of aphids....you know there are a bunch of different type of aphids.......and I'm not saying the op has aphids but I have seen aphids leave honey dew that color....just saying.......
 
LOL no its not bug poop, I have some thrips and gnats here and there but not anything worth mentioning. Its Green Crack, only one out of 6 had this sticky sap. Guttation is what its called after alot of websearching :)." At night, transpiration usually does not occur because most plants have their stomata closed. When there is a high soil moisture level, water will enter plant roots, because thewater potential of the roots is lower than in the soil solution. The water will accumulate in the plant, creating a slight root pressure. The root pressure forces some water to exude through special leaf tip or edge structures, hydathodes or water glands, forming drops. Root pressure provides the impetus for this flow, rather than transpirational pull." Lmao funny cause I just tried to overwater this strain because it loves it at the end, guess I got a lil root pressure.
 
Great info you found there man. I had the same thing happen with one of my critical jack plants yesterday. From what I found I had decided it was some sort of natural sap excretion from the plant, but having the proper explanation for it is nice.
