i went to check on my plants and i see some weird wet spot, rub it off leaf looks fine but it smelled as if i were to pluck a leaf and rub it/smash it in your hands. my plants are small but are starting to really smell over the days and still in veg. the smell is faint but you put your nose near it you can smell them. with my 1st grow i can't smell anything and she is already budding which is weird.
i have the plants under 24/0 lighting they don't seem stressed by the light more or less the major issues im facing right now is
1. nitrogen toxicity ( not too bad but showing signs; dark green leaves, plant leaves look like they are getting eaten up for other nutrients due to nutrient lock out from high nitrogen levels, leaves looking wrinkled and droopy as if over watered but not )
2. pest issues ( i do take these plants outside maybe once a week for watering. i let them dry out before taking em back inside and our outdoor garden is INFESTED with pests. had thrip issues, fungus gnat issues not super bad and i sprayed with captain jack's dead brew seemed to be oky. Now i see leaf miner damage which isn't all too bad and today i found white eggs under the leaves nearest the soil only; rubbed them off i know they were some eggs they were super tiny and not moving at all and had quite a few of them )
debating on spraying plants down if i see more eggs again. plant otherwise look okay and growing daily. i do not have pics of these because i rubbed them off. this is the 2nd time i had this secretion on the leaf though. it is just 1 leaf as well near the top canopy. leaf was under another leaf from the other plant so it was shaded.
anyone know what this is?
Why do you take your plants outside to an infested garden. You’re asking for trouble and you’re gonna get it man. There is probably many many more eggs you don’t see.
And most eggs you don’t see with naked eye. The mealy bugs have cocoon like pouches around their bodies which looks like eggs for example. The thing you’ve seen can be anything.
Can you provide pictures?

i take them out to water them and dry out a little. figured they be okay just for a few hours to a day but guess it's not. will be keeping them fully indoors now and just use drip trays.
as for the substance idk wth it is it's always only on 1 leaf of 1 plant. at first i figured might be water but it isn't. it's not thick or anything it just smells funky and been happening pretty much once a week.
If leaves are overlapping thats the sweat of the upper leaf.
But as of now consider yourself infested. Get a microscope, look under leaves. Clean your room with bleach or something. Get the plants into another room, clean, bring plants back. Find some yellow sticky traps and hang them. Monitor. A protective dose of neem wouldn’t go amiss.
tyvm. yea i think it could be sweat which is kind of weird but now i think about it even the first time my plant was overlaping another and same issue. is this harmful in anyway?
Found more eggs
Get a scope. Identify what they are. Right now you can hit with a nice habanero and garlic spray as a first line of defence. Organic and harmless to your plant.
thanks for all the help i will be putting my fan on get more air flow and will be spraying later with captain jacks dead brew

Have you treated , ie sprayed the pee hayzuz outta your infested outdoor watering area ? Not like you can't go hard core there and quit flirting with disaster ! Seems weird you know it's infested .......Anyway that should be a ground zero war zone . Sorry if that's capt obvious ........ I spray the heck out my yard with ''yard guard'' screws on the hose , just to keep gnats and skeeters - says a month but really coupla weeks depending. I'd eliminate the source FIRST OTHERWISE same scenario ???????? I sprayed drenched lemon tree with leaf miner poison - the lemons won't be edible but I'd be happy with ornamental lemons and a tree that doesn't look like crap on my deck. Didn't spray the lil limes. I want them . Didn't know they were a cannibis threat - thought just citrus ? Anyways makes no sense to bleach everything fight the good fight then bring them back to the danger zone . You need a safe watering area . good luck
we have a spare fan i just dont know where my dad put it. we are renovating the house as well so everything is all over the place. if anything i will end up buying onehit the thrift store :)
