I have a window covered in condensation from the 2000w tent in the room. The GR's humidity is 50-55ish, temp is 25-27C. It goes away when i crack the window, but that is extremely temporary a solution cause of fan noisage. Should I just add a big exhaust fan in the room to try and lower the temps maybe. my apologies i just ripped a few too many bowls but thanks.

The condensation is as much a result of humidity as temps. The window glass is acting just like a cold drink on a warm day, it's temperature is below the dew point in the room and causing the water vapor (humidity) to change back into a liquid. I suspect that when you are cracking the window the outside air is both cooler than that in the room and of lower humidity. This is going to lower the dew point, I suspect that getting the humidity down is more the answer. I am not a scientist, just a homeowner in a humid climate with window problems so take it for what it's worth.

Allright, so I hooked up a blower fan sucking air through ducting from another basement room with cool dry air, and that is blowing up into the window cavity, all condensation was gone in a bout 5 mins! thanks to who replied.
