Weird 'balls' on plant in vegetative (not pollen sacks)

[PUFF MONKEY]

That could be correct slowmo77, the humidity is quite high and I have not watered in 3 days because I was waiting for the soil to dry out almost completly down 2" before I flushed the pots through with aged water.
I do not water or nute the plants untill 2" of soil is dry, is this a good idea or not?

MY HUMIDITY

59 most of the time
Min 57
Max 74

I know HR during vegetative growth should be 40-50%
The max has been 74!
How the hell am I going to bring it down to 30-40% for flower?

i kept my humidity around 65-70% during veg...as for bringing it down..if your venting and using an HPS , that should really help

does the MJ plant ever secrete anything like a tree does sap say maybe in certain conditions weather it too hot dry humid or watever?

The only time I,ve ever seen one "secrete" anything is after a cut or break. This plant is amazing and will immediately send healing salve to any such wound.(What a healing plant she is!) This is only from personal experience and I would love to learn if other "secretions" do occur based on evironmental extremes? IMO Much Love.

What you have is a Laticifer

A laticifer is a type of elongated secretory cell found in the leaves and/or stems of plants that produce latex and rubber as secondary metabolites. Laticifers may be articulated, i.e., composed of a series of cells joined together, or non-articulated, consisting of one long cell. They are thought to have a role in wound healing and as defense against herbivory and are often used for taxonomy.
Laticifers were first described by H. A. de Barry in 1877.

Why is your humidity so high?

I dont know, we dont have the intake or exhaust fans on during the 6 hours off which is from 12-6 at night.
I flushed the pots through with aged water this morning and let the water run out of the pots quite a lot before putting them back in the box and raised the reflector before I put them back under it and the RH is 68% and the tempature is 25.6 degress C.
Not so bad for temp but the HR is still quite high, I want to lower it to 30-40% before flowering. The dehumidifier was not on today because we were fixing it up a bit and cleaning it to make sure it runs its best.

Hope the max and min readings for the HR are better tomorrow. It never drops below 60%.

ya its not what im talking about. what i see in the pictures is normal i think i see it on all my plants.

Not all plants create latex, in fact only a few families of plants produces latex, and I am just about sure cannabis is not one of them... Poppies do, as well as lettice to a point but Cannabis does not

We thought it could be sap. Humidity is my main problem so that could be it.
I've seen the pics of bud rot and I want to lower the humidity before the plants enter the 12/12.

Any ideas!

We've got a dehumidifier and good air exchange.

with these things in...you still have high RH? IMO...you need to get that rH down before switching to 12/12..Good luck


take care and be safe

Checked the temps and RH today at 5.22pm...

TEMP

AT TIME CHECKED- 31.7 degress C (it's been pretty sunny today)
MIN- 26.9 degress C
MAX- 32 degress C

HUMIDITY

AT TIME CHECKED- 55
MIN- 55
MAX- 66

The humidity is better but the temp is a bit higher so I've put a floor standing fan in the area outside the box to cool the air a little. The humidity is pretty good seeing as the plants were flushed yesterday and the top of their pots have not been covered yet.
