I love how some of my sarracenia just ooze with nectar while others make a more crystallized nectar and others you can barely see any nectar. One some the nectar just oozes from everywhere it seems. The hoods, the tubes and the throats. Took a few pics of some really gooey seedlings.

I also can't believe how sticky some of it is. I was moving one of my flavas and it was like I just got done eating pancakes with my fingers.

I've seen more nectar on my plants in cloudy weather than in sunny weather.
I think if you can get a good mix of sunlight and humidity you'll get some good nectar production.
Eric, great looking plants. You should sell the nectar in jars! :D

Yeah, you could sell it as your special homemade sugar sauce. Your plants look amazing

What sparks the nectar production? Is it the sunlight?
I'd say it was bright light but it could just mean its a healthy plant. I have noticed when I grow sarracenia under HPS or MH they get thick nectar that resembles exudate on nepenthes. Under fluoros they have the dripping nectar. I just put these under a new type of bulb, a ceramic metal halide, and i'm going to see how they like that.

Thanks for the kind comments Daniel and GK!
