That isn't quite hot enough to be really concerned. I have a friend whose tent is regularly over 100 F, but she corrects using a VPD chart and appropriate humidity to match it. If you get a cool mist humidifier, it will both drop your tent a few degrees and raise your humidity. Add an inkbird humidity controller and you can automate the whole thing to adjust itself for you. Just make sure when buying a humidifier that you get one that will cut on and off when power is applied/cut (as opposed to a switch that you have to interact with each time) so that you can run it on a timer or controller. I started out with a $36 wyze cam pointed at my hygrometer in the tent and the humidifier on a smart plug so I could look at RH with the cam from work and cut the humidifier on and off accordingly. The inkbird controller or similar product is the way to go and very affordable though.

There's the same amount of moisture, but the relative humidity of the heated air is much less —the warmed air can “hold” a good deal more moisture than the cool air. ... It's just that, at higher temperatures, water molecules are more likely to go into the vapor phase, so there will be more water vapor in the air.

I tend to keep 80% humidity in such heat. plus even add watering water 3-4 times a day up to a spray bottle and spray with plain water. seedlings are good in warm humid environments. otherwise I used to change the water in the humidifier more often by 3-4 degrees Celsius, if it is very hot, I change the humidity more often.

Hello For humidity, you can put a dome over your plants to keep more moisture (you can use a plastic bottle cut in half, remove the cap so your plant gets air, and place it over your plants) You can look for an air inducer; it will bring in cooler air into your grow box, but if it's also hot outside, it's better to consider an AC... Good luck with your grow!

You can raise your humidity with a humidifier or by misting your plants about 20 mins before your grow lights come on as not to light burn your girl. Or leave a bowl with some water in the tent. All these should help. Aim for 70% for the best seedling growth. Happy growing!
