People stress about humidity to much and to be honest the stated humidity levels on most forums are for "optimal" growth.
Weed grows well in very arid environments without our help.
It's a good idea to have more than one humidity meter also for comparison reasons. I have 2 in my tent. One shows 25% humidity and the other says 48%. That's a huge difference.
Keep it simple and let the plant do its thing. It will wilt and tell you if it's not happy.
Good luck.

Best tip to any new grower is to not stress. I'd consistently screw up when first starting out because I was attempting to do TOO much. Read forums like crazy, tried to treat every little leaf spot, curl, suspected invisible mite; you name it. My best results came when I simplified. Good soil, plain PH'd water until flowering with minimal nutes thereafter, and some god damned patience on my part. This plant is supposed to relieve your stress not cause it.

If your walls are wet and your humidity meter says 40-50% then your meter is fukt. Get 2 new ones. They don't have to be expensive to be decently accurate.

BTW 40-50% is about perfect, IMO (but I doubt you are actually at 40-50% with wet fuckin walls).

Also, the humidifier I have just blows air through a wet filter. Is yours blowing a plume of actual water?

Ole' Faithful brand humidifiers bro. LoL, nah, I use a CVS brand cool mist humidifier in my tent. It was like $20. I aim the geyser of mist at the intake fan and it dissipates instantly. No condensation buildup for me, I am running an AC in the room, however.

do you have a humidifier that uses a filter or is it just a water tank and fan set up. if it doesent have a filter than thays why your getting condensation. I had that same problem. switched to one that uses a filter. problem solved. Walgreens carries them for like $30
