Why is my plant sweating/ spraying water?

I have a small grow box, with one plant in it. Not sure of the strain, but I know its a indica. But on the leaves of the plant, and on the top of the inside of the box, there is water on it. Is this normal? Is it some sort of defincisy?
How to fix? Thanks

I believe its called "condensation" from too much water in the area do you have any airflow? Cmon really a deficiency ?o_O Observe your environment conditions before you jump to assuming a deficiency

What you have is an uncommon situation where water from underground aquifers is trans-motivating through invisible tubes in the air. When the tubes revinserate the water seeps into your growbox. and collects at the highest point.

Simple as that.

Thanks, that's probably it, considering I have no fan in such a small space.
Please don't think a fan is the same thing as a vent, it can be in some cases, but blowing a fan on your plants is not venting. You need to fix your venting deficiency not your fan deficiency that will included a blower/booster fan and duct in most cases.

I've had plants sweat when leaves touch and my temp get a bit high u need put in hydrometer and monitor the humidity and temp
Cause if u start to flower in a sweat box u gonna have big issues with moldy buds

If it's a little box 1 PC fan will do cut a hole in box and mount the fan and the built a type of angled cover so air can flow but light can't get in
Got hardware get 3 or 4
45 angled pipes and just make like a chimney and just sit over PC fan hole quiet easy
The few bends will block the light getting in

You can make a magnet powered fan, with an old computer fan and hard drive magnets, can power the fan without any power. Just youtube it. super simple and nearly free.

Yes, it does work, not all fans will spin as easily, so i used a new one. if you use an old one the bearing might be dirty and hard for the magnets to get the first push in. There are tons of videos look at each of them, everyone builds them differently, if anything you can just wire a 9v battery to it and change it every once in a while. or find a 12v dc power adapter/computer power supply to run it if you dont want to build something cool. lol

You are either doing a poor job of describing it or you are talking about a perpetual motion machine, something that is nearly impossible or impossible for you to make. If you made one, please show the world, there are billions of dollars waiting for the first person to successfully build a perpetual motion machine, especially one with enough energy to spare to perform a task. We need you to get to work on cold fusion next.

I watch this guy all the time because im an electrical engineer, you're basically making an electromagnet around the fan that can power itself and keep itself charged. Dont mind the light bulb trick at the end its a sneaky trick.

That is a video explaining how they are faked, did you even watch it? Start the video at 3:00, the next words will be "Want to see how I actually got that to spin?" followed by him revealing batteries taped under the magnets. Anyone trying this with just magnets will certainly fail, even with ultra-low friction bearings. I'm telling you dude, this is a hoax.

Here's ANOTHER video, this time not trying to fake it but trying (and failing, of course) to actually get it to work.
