They’re really not that fragile.
Soil moisture is more important as is light distance.
Get those right and they’ll thrive in any RH.

Thx man. Huge problem tho. New humidifer I bought won’t stop turning off.. is that a problem? Because I want it to be set to a certain temperature and running 24/7

I start seeds all the time. I don't even worry about humidity or bother checking it.
Like @drsaltzman said. They'll grow just fine regardless of humidity. Unless you have them in a really humid dome. Then they can dampen off.
You're making the process seem harder than it is.

Appreciate it. U don’t use a humidifer. What do u use? Because I’m having a super harder time using my humidifier currently. It keeps turning off

I don't use anything. They grow in whatever the humidity is. I only worry about humidity in flower as the buds start forming.
Why do you need a humidifier to start a seed?

I thought u did. But the problem is when I actually need a humidifier for veg … what do I do then. This thing won’t stay on

Why do you need a humidifier for veg? I think you're focusing too much on humidity. I have a small dehumidifier that I use sometimes in the flower tent to lower the humidity not raise it.

I’m a first time grower and every single grower I see has a humidifier for veg and flower so I assumed it was needed to grow really good flower

Cannabis will grow at a wide range in humidity just fine. In flower though high humidity can pose risks of bud rot. People grow outdoors where the humidity can range from 30-80%. It's really only a problem in flower when there is too high humidity. Some dial in everything to keep all factors optimized but unless you have a large grow you really won't have any significant gains to bother worrying about it. Just make sure that it's not too high during flower.

Ok thank u. I recently lost my other seedling to damping off. Cuz I had too high of humidity and a humidity dome. Both which aren’t needed

Sure. Moisture meters. IGNORE the cheap prong like pH meters they are completely inaccurate regarding pH.
Can get a decent moisture meter for under 10 bucks
