Humidity vs Air Movement?

Having trouble keeping my humidity at 60% for seedling/early veg. I have a humidifier and fan in the tent, as well as an exhaust fan. Would you prioritize keeping the humidity at 60% or have the exhaust fan running?

I think I have it sorted now thanks guys! Should have given more info, 5x5 with 6 bar 650w Led - inline 8”Ac infinityT8, had fan on lowest setting (1) and was running it 24/7. My humidifier was set to max output @65% and would run out of water every 8-12 hours. I have lowered the humidifier to 55% and put it on lowest output setting. The T8 comes with a controller that I need to get more familiar with but I’ve set up automations to run it for 30mins every 2 hours for air exchange. Seems to be helping

Turn your exhaust fan down. You are drawing the humid air out faster than your humidifier can put it in. I am fortunate enough to have a lung room. I control temperature and humidity in the room around the tent. Then when my tent's fan runs it draws air in of the proper temperature and humidity. So, during sprouting and early veg I will keep the lung room humidity at 60%. The tent vent fan can run all it wants and the humidity won't go below 60%.

Decrease exhaust fan velocity. of course you have troubles,because the humidity you are producing,is istantly pulled of the tent. If you cant dimmer the exhaust fan,u can shop a control unit,there's plenty of choice out there. Hope it helped! good luck 🙏

Depends how low you are at.. you said not at 60 If you’re are 55 I wouldn’t sweat it. But if you’re down at 30-40 I would make some changes
