Due happens because of moisture content in the air being "forced out of solution" when temps drop. More water is solvable hot air then cold air.

For example...: if your temps are 85 before lights go out and your RH is 60% then lights go out an temp goes down to 60 your RH will shoot up to like 99% an water drops will form on windows, walls, or in this case leafs.

In fact I would guess your humidity is just too high for other reasons too, your leaves are very wide because the plant is trying to cool itself but can't. (I know the plant is indica) when RH is too low the leaves will narrow like a sativa and when this wide it's past the point of indica and into the range of widening from high RH. Remove all standing water from grow environment and stop misting them for a few days if you are.

Its called condensation. Definitely something you need to sort out before you go into flower. I guarantee you will have mold issues if that is happening during flower. Get a dehumidifier.

Good luck.

I wouldn't spend your money on that dehumidifier. You'd be better off to get a full size that correct more air. If your room is real high in humidity you'll have to empty that thing a lot. I had to buy two 250 dollar ones for my basement. One is in the garden side and the other is on my living side. My approach was to keep the whole basements rh in check that way the exchanging air that goes in is always at the proper rh. When my plants are all full grown in flower ill have to empty res for dehumidifier 1-2 times a day it holds two gallons.

what kind of ventilation you got going on?
a inline fan venting outside of the grow should help...
and cost less (to buy and run) than a dehuy....

the door of grow closet is open when the lights on , and i have 3 fans in there . 85-100m2h.
one in the hight of the bulb to reduce temperature and push air out , and the other two is near the plantes .

It's called "transpiration" and is akin to evaporation while not being evaporation. It is normal.

Read and learn:

"Transpiration is a process similar to evaporation. It is a part of the water cycle, and it is the loss of water vapor from parts of plants (similar to sweating), especially in leaves but also in stems, flowers and roots. Leaf surfaces are dotted with openings which are collectively called stomata, and in most plants they are more numerous on the undersides of the foliage. The stoma are bordered by guard cells (together known as stomatal complex) that open and close the pore.[SUP][1][/SUP] Leaf transpiration occurs through stomata, and can be thought of as a necessary "cost" associated with the opening of the stomata to allow the diffusion of carbon dioxide gas from the air for photosynthesis. Transpiration also cools plants, changes osmotic pressure of cells, and enables mass flow of mineral nutrients and water from roots to shoots."

beutiful pic thanks for sharing! has to do with the rise and fall of your temp, and the humidity. usually water drops form under my leaves(between leaves laying on top of each other) in veg but that pretty cool right on the tips like that. completely normal tho, if your in flower, you would want a lower Rh. in veg it wont hurt anything, actually IMO its a good sign of healthy plants that got extra energy to be able to throw off moisture.
