Looks like a good call!!
If it were mine ... i'd smear it on a rizla ... mix in some tobacco and tell myself that i was testing it for "science" purposes!
Looking frosty!! ^_^

Actually don't smoke it lol!
That is called guttation, and it's essentially xylem sap made up of water, nutrients, and minerals! It is NOT a pool of THC lol.
Guttation can occur in certain conditions where there is a lot of water in the root zone at lights out; osmotic pressure forces the water into the plant roots, and the pressure forces moisture out through the pores of the leaves and flowers.
It looks cool, looks like syrupy sap, but it's not something you want to smoke.
Herb magazine and Leafly both QUITE FALSELY reported on this with the Pinkman's Goo strain; claiming it's inherent to the strain, but guttation can likely happen to any cannabis plant under the right conditions (I've had it happen on my Sweet Seeds Red Poison in the past.)

Right on thanks for the replies!
@Son of Hobbes I'll pick it off before smoking and thanks for dropping that "guttation" knowledge.

Absolutely spot on @Son of Hobbes , Guttation occurs in many plants and it's a way of releasing excess moisture..my strawberry leaves do it all the time.

And one of my favorites, clear, cloudy, and amber guttation:
Ignore the white hair in those pics (freakin' cat...)

On the leaf tips:
On the plant they are usually sappy/wet, but they form a skim over the surface as they dry/harden:
