Well, if you get mold the result is indeed bud loss. You absolutely need to find a way to get that humidity down below 50%.

Good luck on this, I just suffered from the opposite of this issue. My humidity was dropping to like 20% with lights off.
got a humidifier and i sit about 50-55% at all times.

Keep a fan blowing on the plants in the room 24/7 with ventilation on. Then you should be ok. I deal with high RH all the time never loosing any bud.
