I find this process amazing, for those who don’t know it’s just a plants way of excreting minerals and excess sugars through specialised pores called hydrathodes i used to find it happen on the old mango strains grown outdoors, more towards the very end of finishing and particularly either early morning or late at night.
how many of you guys have noticed this, or a solid crystal on your bud when curing or trimming. Aren’t plants just amazing, especially our beloved plant of choice!

Ayy I’ve got a photo of a Green Crack Auto that pushed out some -
I ended up tasting it, was like a honey suckle, very minor flavor.

@Organical great example mate 
its such an interesting feature found in alot of plants but in cannabis flowers i find it it really interesting, at first i had no idea what it was, i assumed it was olant sugar’s as it was quite sweet and i found that the citrus type strains semned to produce more of it.

You see it a something positive?
It tells you do something wrong.
Water pressure in the plant, called turgor, basically comes from two sources: the roots pushing and the leaves pulling. Sometimes when the leaves stop pulling but the roots keep pushing.
Since the leaves aren’t pulling anymore, that means the stomata are probably closed, so that pressure has no way to be released, except the Hydathodes. They are much like big stretchy stomata that can not close up. When leaves transpire, its pretty much water.
The hydathodes however will exude sap, much thicker than water. That sap contains nutrients etc. If the concentration is high enough, and it dries out fast enough, you will see side tip burns, as the hydathodes are generally located at the end of the side tips.

If you are lucky the big fat cola starts bud rot. I have seen this many times at the ‘master growers’ steering plants but dont understand what they are doing.
Bud rot we need to lower rh… bla bla no gutation is not something you can see as a positive thing.
Nice had this on a Why U Gelly mom I seeded up
Lick it! Lick it!
Remember guys, if the blob is golden its guttation, if its clear its probably anal seretions
Guttation is not beneficial, its related to osmotic pressure and sign of a nutrient imbalance.
