You normally have microbes living in the roots that eat these sugars the plants secrete.
When you start feeding sugar all the time, they have no need for the plant and cut out the middleman.
This leaves the plants with an excess of root exudates with nowhere to go...
That is what I think at least.

An here we have a classic example of a retard. See how they have zero clue what's going on?
Dont be like this people. It's a bad look.
Pretty sure I never fed that plant molasses. Just normal nutes. And it was the only plant to ever do it. It wasnt a sugar, it was a oily sap, and it was very high in thc content.

Hey just wanted to chime in because this just happened to my plants. LSD. They’re literally dripping with sugary sap from the buds and stems. I did not feed with molasses or sugars. I did however dry in the pot for 48 hrs in the dark then cut them. That’s when I noticed all the sap. Can’t figure it out.Good morning fellas,
Glad to see some folks opinion on this thread, awesome!
This strain was Pineapple Express. The above happened on the 2 of 4 plants I did the molasses thing to, all were the same clones. I found another instance of this happening on the bud itself and the person mentioned his grow is cold, which mine is as well. (60ish with the lights off) Perhaps one or the other, or both caused this.
The information you guys posted about feeding sugar is exactly why I decided to do that big molasses feed. Tons of people use it throughout their grow and some flush with it, but I figured "why not" and I fed a lot of it right before harvest.
Here is a couple more pictures from the web. Like I said, the sap comming from the stem I've seen personally and I think it is semi-common, but on the bud, this picture is the only other one I could find.
@poly. I"m open to lots of ideas about why that happened, but I can assure you its not pus LOL! Thats gotta be the most out there thing I've ever heard in my life. Pus is partly collection of dead white blood cells... plants don't have blood.
It seems to happen more with certain strains but always happens to really healthy plants. It has nothing to do with feeding them sugar I grow in coco with hydro nutes. I've smoked buds with the San on them it doesn't hurt anything.

That is called guttation, and it’s not coming from the buds, it’s dripping from the stems and leaves. It’s essentially a sap, and it’s dripping because you’re watering with carbs and the soil is saturated over night without photosynthesis. The bacteria begin to feed on the carbs in the soil, instead of the carbs in the rhizosphere (on your roots), causing a build up in and around your plant’s rootzone, inhibiting the transfer of nutrients between your roots and soil. Your lights out stops photosynthesis, causing a build up.
When your lights kick on and plant wakes up, it begins to photosynthesize. Due in part to poor transpiration during lights out (and possibly lights on), coupled with your sugary soil, the plant is already full of sugar water for the day. It then tries to sweat out all that excess sugar water that it has been storing (since it’s making new food with lights on). Stomata are small and vpd is an elusive b****, so in a sense you are correct; your plant is full of sugar water and can’t sweat it all out, causing it to ooze and drip in its sap form. It’s not due to you feeding the plant sugar water, but due to imbalance in the soil.
Efforts can be made to control these exudations, such as monitoring and controlling of vpd (including your dark cycles), but the best thing you can do is stop watering with so much sugar, and don’t water before a harvest dark cycle. Your plant is not supposed to drink sugar water; the sugar is to feed the microbiology of the soil to assist in the uptake (exchange) if available nutrients.
There is no thc suspended in this exudation unless it is from contact during excretion. Your plant isn’t “dripping thc,” per se.
No offense to OP or anyone else posting, but this belongs in the noob subsection. This has been observed in dry climate outdoor cannabis for decades, due to the proliferation of organic growers and their tendency to experiment with teas and supplements, as well as inability to control your climate.
Edit: after writing this up, I began to wonder if the dark cycle really does effect cannabis flavor. Exudation is a sure sign of imbalance, but if one were to cut before the plant begins to exude these substances, then they would be trapped and stored within the harvested plant.
