My plant seems to be slowly dyeing and I just checked the humidity level and its 32% =( It's usually around 40%. But is this level far to low? What can you do to raise it? Right now I just have it on a desk with lights above it

pretty much all you can do to raise it is get a humidifier. I've tried every other method and they are only short term solutions. However, I've been growing my plant in 25-30 percent humidity and they are doing just fine. Make sure to check the water as it will probably dry out a bit faster, other than that a lot of people have had success grows in relatively dry places.

I've heard people boiling kettles is their rooms to increase humidity although this is probably just a short term method like mentioned above.

being in an unheated room my babies are heated with a dehumidifiers exhaust which is a constant 75 degrees F, but the room is always around 40% humidity. I am into my 18th day of flowering, and they are healthy. Optimimal should be around 75% but plants adapt. So, it may not be the dryness that's killing them...

if it's just on a desk, try putting a cloth around 3 sides of the plants, and then place a bowl of hot water in there with them. Yeah, it's not permanent, 'cause you have to keep on filling the bowl as it evaporates, but it'll keep the humidity a little higher.

your humidity level isnt causing the plants to droop...sounds like over/under watering to me

get a coffie warmer and put a large glass of watter on it gives me like 30% more if used, vs. not used. its just sucks because you have to refill it alot and mist it often with some water mixed with some organics. not to much tho i love blood meal it helped my girl hang on from some bad ass stress.
