hey guys, i have a small problem. im using a 400 watt inside my grow tent which is inside my room. in the room the temperatures never go over 75 f and in the tent probably 85 f. well my airconditioner vent is in the floor right next to the tent. i noticed yesterday that there is condensation all in the tent its soakes on the walls and floor. maybe this is because of the tent being a little warmer and the air conditioner be cooler i dont know.. but yesterday was my first day of flowering and i want to fix this before any buds develop because of mold. please help!

You should port the air conditioner vent INTO the tent, thus reducing the humidity differential that's causing your condensation problem as well as keeping your tent cooler.

Well a little bit of basic info will help as well... Do you have any kind of air exchange? Exhaust or intake? Do you have inline fans,booster fans, or oscillating fans? Is your air conditioner blowing cold air directly into the tent or around the outside... what temperature air is the air conditioner expelling? I will be able to tell you more once I know these things.. but at a glance it seems you

A) do not have enough air flow carrying the moist air out and conversely enough fresh air coming in.
B) The air conditioner is creating too great of a temperature variance from the outside of the tent vs the inside of the tent, causing such a large amount of condensation.
C) Both of those things coupled with the fact that one usually waters more frequently during budding all add up to way more humidity.

Let me know

So you are blowing through your can? I would suggest cutting a hole and ducting your cold air in through the floor

It sounds like you are running air through your light, but not actually ventilating your tent. Or is the inline fan taking in air from the tent and expelling it through the light and carbon filter? You should also have active air exchange in the tent, unless you are running CO2.
