When I came home from work I noticed that there was drips of water coming from were I connect a metal dryer tube to my flex tinfoil tubing out the window.
I cut the excess flex tubing and pulled it tight and rearranged my straps.
I was running humidity of 75 to 80.
Now that my seeds have sprouted I'm going to lower humidity to 60 to 70 in hopes that tighter flex tubing and lower humidity prevent so much condensation.
Will 60% humidity be fine for seedlings.
Has anyone else had a problem with condensation..
I live in canada so cold..

Some pictures of the seedlings will help. Also are they autos? If not why starting with such big pots? 60% should be fine for seedlings. Are you running your exhaust 24/7 ? If not try that and you should have no issues with condensation. Also remember when lights out rh will spike.

Problem seems to be fixed.
I was sloppy with the setup.
I have a 3 foot metal dryer tubing going out the basement window with a dryer vent cover to stop bugs and mice from coming in.
It was angled slightly up and I'm in canada so warm and cold creat condensation.
The tube is still creating Condensation but now I have it angled down so it drips outside instead of back into the house.
My exhaust is running 24/7 but only at 15% or it drops my heat and humidity.
I'm contemplating a small radiator heater to raise the heat which would allow me to turn up exhaust.
My temp is 24 to 26c
My humidity is 70 to 75
I'm growing autoflowering critical fast bud at cropking.com.
6 to 8 weeks.
I soaked my seeds for 12hrs and planted into there final home.
My next diary will be with the paper towel method.

I’m in Colorado so similar weather swings to our friendly neighbors. I would definitely get a radiator style heater for your setup, it will help.
