Get the humidity down.

If this is an outdoor then you have pretty much no control over humidity.

If its an indoor grow then you WILL be able to control the humidity.

Either extract more air or remove the excess moisture with a dehumidifier etc.

If your RH is hitting +60% then yes dehumidifier is your only option really.

Agree with the responses, you need to get your humidity down. Not a lot of options to lower it, you can exhaust it out, bring in drier air, or use a dehumidifier. If you can't do the first 2, then the dehumidifier is your last option.

Of your grow area is well vented and have no heat issues lighting a candle in the light periods works wonders. So simple yet so effective
