your humidity is way over 49% if you see this much transpiration. verify your rh monitor/gauge is correct. i run 3 cheap analog temp/rh gauges just to keep things honest

Yeah good thing to point out always have multiple RH/temp readers. I also have 3 RH/temp readers in my grow room one on ground level one on a shelf and one hanging over the plants.

How far away do you have the lights they arnt the best diods and don't give off much par value at a decent distance I would hang that light around 14-16 inches away during veg. I would look for some better lights when you can because they might be the problem they only have a par value of around 300 at 24 inches. A good range of par for veg is 500-800 and for flower around 600-1000 at least that's the range I find works good.

Brother, my light is 1200w actual power is 265. I have another light In There 600w only pulling about 145-165 actual power. My light is 18-20’, so maybe you right I may need to lower them just a couple inches.

Yeah I would lower them to around 14 inches away. How much did those lights cost? I can point you in the right direction for better lights in your budget. It's not the power draw that's wrong with these ones it's just the diods in those leds arnt the best quality. You can still grow good weed with it you just won't have as good light coverage and penetration.

Well I don't know if you can get that good of lights for that much maybe good smaller ones but for a good 250w one mine were around 200$ and they flower 2.5x2.5 i have 4 of them. The lights you have I would use for veg but I would get better ones for flower I have some Phlizon Cree cobs 1000w (250w actual power draw) but you can get better ones like spider farmer for around the same price.

Yeah I looked at the lights. Me personally I would only use them for veg I wouldn't expect much yeild if used for flower mainly because it can't penetrate much through the canopy it's par value drops off quick so your top nugs would be fine but your lower ones would be lacking from not having much light get down there. But that's only my opinion.
