Google guttation, see if it fits the description,
:clap:

never seen or heard of this till now, thank you

At night, transpiration usually does not occur because most plants have their stomata closed. When there is a high soil moisture level, water will enter plant roots, because the water potential of the roots is lower than in the soil solution. The water will accumulate in the plant, creating a slight root pressure. The root pressure forces some water to exude through special leaf tip or edge structures, hydathodes or water glands, forming drops. Root pressure provides the impetus for this flow, rather than transpirational pull. Guttation is most noticeable when transpiration is suppressed and the relative humidity is high, such as during the night.

Chemical content
Guttation fluid may contain a variety of organic and inorganic compounds, mainly sugars, and potassium.[1] On drying, a white crust remains on the leaf surface.

Could be not noticed white when dried out though will examine when I get home ta
