I run two humidifiers in early veg, until the plants are large enough that they transpire and keep the humidity around 60%.

Are you running your in-line fan with a controller? if you are not running it with a controller like Nug said pick up an extra humidifier, then run in line on lowest setting. It’s about your only option if you absolutely have to run your in-line fan 24 seven even though you’re an early veg. I personally wouldn’t run my in-line fan constantly in veg just often enough to cycle with fresh air every so often. This allows me to maintain a somewhat steady CO2 range as well.
I just turn mine down. I use drainage tables so in the wet months I dump my run off asap after watering and in the wet months I leave it in the drain pans to keep humidity. Just got to clean them out every week or 2 to make sure they don't grow anything

Yes, I have AC Infinity Controller, 4" intake, and 6" exhaust, and run it constantly on lowest setting, and triggers to ramp up speed if my heat or humidity limits are reached. Of course, the fans will go back to lowest setting once excess heat and/or humidity are exhausted out. I was under the impression that by refreshing the air constantly, the CO2 levels would stay pretty consistent with whatever the ambient levels in the lung room my tent are. I don't add any CO2, but if I were to do that, then sealing up the tent and not constantly exhausting the environment from the tent would be more sensible, and cost effective. I am sure there are ways to configure everything if using a bottle, or even the mushroom bags that create CO2, but I am not aware of all of that, and at this point have no intentions of doing that.

Exhaust your tent less. Multiple times per hour. Run your in-line fan long enough to exchange for fresh air, and low enough to try to keep humidity in the range you want. Your plants are in early veg, so there is not alot of O2 being released by your plants. I’m sure you’ll be fine Not running it 24/7, and in turn your humidity will stay more in range.
Here’s a good thread:

Fresh Air in the grow room?
Would not having a constant flow of fresh air into the grow room negatively affect the plants? I run an a/c and I just don't want to pull hot air in my room if i don't need too. any advice would be great! thanks.
