You might want to zoom in. Those colors(orange/brown)are in the ooze. The leaves are green.
Unless you were referring to the VARIEGATION in the first set of pics. Also another telltale sign of a mutant

There are two mechanisms that cause xylem to transport water and other components from the soil to the leaves.
- Root pressure — Due to the high concentration of solute, the root cells are more negative compared to the soil. For this reason, water can move from the soil to the roots through osmosis.
- Transpiration pull — Water evaporating from the surface of the mesophyll cells creates a negative pressure at the top of the plant that facilitates water being pulling up through the plant.
- Xylem is a part of a vascular plant’s anatomy. Along with the phloem, they make up the ‘nutrient highway’ in the plant in which nutrients travel. Excess water transported by the xylem is “exhaled” by the plant through its stomata. On cannabis plants, the stomata is on the underside of the leaves.
Xylem sap can sometimes ooze out of the stomata (appearing like dew but formed at night when stomata are closed) in cannabis plants by a process known as “guttation”.
Cannabis growers should be cautioned about using pesticides on their crops as any pesticide that the plant has absorbed may weep out in the xylem sap.
This same xylem sap can cause burning of cannabis leaves if nutrient levels are too high. This will be visible on the leaf surface and appear like the efflorescence of winter salts on brick walls and walkways.

Shes still sitting out, uncut, (I have trouble letting go of her) but now she has missed an entire dark period. I do have two clones of her already and plan on flowering one in a separate tent, by itself. I could also throw her back in and hope that she doesn't hermie. Man I just dont know what to do...

but the pics show it's on the uppersides of the leaves.

So basicilly if it happens at night, the stomata are closed and the fluids are forced out of glands. While what I posted doesn't say this.. here.
"Guttation is a process of natural secretion of fluid from leaves via specialised structures called 'hydathodes', which are located at the tips, margins, and adaxial and abaxial surfaces of leaves."

HAve you even looked at his second pictures farther down in this thread or do you keep looking at the first ones? The second pictures DEFINITELY show ooze, man. There are clear and yellow droplets all over the leaves and ALL discoloration has a shiny coat of clear gloss over it.

I've decided to cull her just in case. I mentioned above (I think) that I took two cuttings of her. I just have to know how she would have turned out, so I'll flower one of them after my small tent is finished with it's current experiment.

Just to be on the safe side you could give the cuttings a spray of Capt. Jacks dead bug. Its good stuff, if there are any bugs lingering they wont linger for long.

Thank you everyone for all your responses! I really appreciate it! I'll update when I get the clone into flower.
