Humidity problems for a newbie

I've been flowering for 2 weeks and have been encountering humidity problems. I'm growing in a 1.2,1.2,2.0 tent with a 5"out,4"intake and a 6"oscilating fan and 2 nutriculture bubble boxes. My temps are between 60-74f ? And humidity between 58- 70 ? The tent don't have any condensation at all but some touching leaves have a small smear of water where plants are touching etc. Do you think this will cause problems ? Ps I've made sure all gaps are well covered so water evaporation is to a min and have tried intake from a window vent,close to vent and away from vent I've even got a small dehumidifier running ?
 
I'm assuming you are concerned with bud rot.. I don't think those numbers are too bad, but it would be nice to have the humidity lower. Let others chime in, but if your temps max out at 75, I think it's alright. I rarely have to worry about high humidity where I am, but my space will max at 85F/60% and I've never had mold/bud rot.

Does it ever go below 60%? Mine will go as low as 40 in flowering so I'm sure that helps me out quite a bit. Your mileage may vary.
 
Thanks for the replies both. @ vostok Those figures are from a temp gauge as I said 60-74 f and 58-70 % humid.
I don't think I'll get probs as even when it highs at 70% there's the odd smear of water on a few leaves.
A friend of mine reckons he's often flowered in low 70's% and not had rot probs but I'm a little worried as most seem hell bent on keeping it below 60%.
 
Point your fan at them ladies and move some air over them, so the leaves rustle a good bit. That will solve your problem right quick. Your temp and humidity are good, I would try and keep the temp in the low 70's rather than the 60's though. Cheers...j
