I am having the same problem, except mine is at 16%. I added a wet sponge in an open container. Ill let you know how that works, and ill keep posted on this thread.

i have my pot sitting on a plastic container inside a larger flat container filled with water. i turned the oscillating fan off, and right now the humidity is at 43% and the plants are sleeping. I managed to get it back to 33% with the lights on using the added water in the container.

Humidity should be 50+ in veg and down to 40s in early flower and even lower in late flower. A cool mist humidifier is $30 at walmart and works well. Misting foliage is another way, best used in combination.

so my humidity is at 42% right now and dropping as the lighs have just turned on. I've been told its not good to foliar feed during flowering, due to chances of mold, but with such a low humidity it doesnt seem possible for mold to grow. should i be foliar feeding? the plant is at 8 weeks old in flower right now, trichomes are clear/cloudy, no amber yet. I figure I have maybe another 2 weeks till i chop.

No I would not mist them in flower. 42 isn't that low.
