Bleeding Hamata?

future nursury owner...i hope
OK, so it's not exactly bleeding, but it is excreting a sticky liquid from the underside of the leaves...it's almost a clear/white color. Not only that, the leaves seem to be a light green, and it has stopped pitchering...again.

It seems healthy and it making much larger leaves than what it used to.

Fungus, Infestation?

Let's get the experts here!:-))
 
It's just nectar. It may or may not have mildew on it, but the mildew feeds on the sugar and does no harm to the plant. It's just ugly :P
 
that's good to know :)

i thought it may me nectar, but i thought it was only produced on pitchers, so i thought i would post it up just to be safe.

so what about the light green/yellow leaves? they're more green than yellow though. I'm thinking lack of minerals, but i'm scared to fertilize it... i never fertilized before
 
Nectar glands can located in the pitchers, on the leaves, and on the stems. My n. x ventrata usually produces more nectar on the stems than in the pitchers(it only has 2).
 
It's a light green, but lighter than it normaly is. I normally feed, but it only has one pitcher (large might I add :)) , but a spider decided to make the pitcher it's home, so when i try to feed it the food just gets caught in the web and becomes the spider's food...
