Hey everybody at RIU has anyone ever seen this after lights off and lights came back on there was moisture on the leaves. Should I be worried? Haven't seen this before temp with lights out was only 68 degrees but it's only 78 with the lights on, let me know what you think wide open for ideas

It’s not dew. It’s guttation, xylem fluid being pushed out of the plant nothing to worry about except it may indicate high Rh after lights out which could cause other problems.

Have decent air circulation? As @Merlin1147 said when your temps drop your humidity will increase. It's something you will want to look after before flowering.

You should be ventilating when the lights are off to control humidity spikes as the air cools.
