Ofc it is, the process of photosynthesis involves capturing photons of light within the leaves, The plant then goes through a process of converting the captured light "energy" and transferring it into chemical energy in the form of starches and sugars, the plant uptakes a little water from the rootzone and mixes it with a little co2 which it breathes in via the backside of every leaf using a million little mouths called stomata. As a by-product of the entire process the plant creates oxygen and water. Bud flowers themselves photosynthesize although not nearly as efficient as leaves at capturing photons it is still a marked increase in perspiration

That's not that much of a big issue but it's a lil high for beginning of flower you really want it around 50-55 to prevent bud rot but as of now is not a really bug deal but once flowering is advanced then it'll be super important. Best of luck 👍

Plant will get bigger and will sweat more, raising RH more in the next weeks. This will be a problem as plants flower, high humidity is an invitation for mold. Do you have an exhaust fan? Where do you extract your air? If you cannot ventilate with drier air, at least set some fans in your tent to have more airflow. Also a defoliation will help reduce transpiration, but don't over it as your plants needs leaves to thrive.

Te recomiendo aumentar la circulación interna del armario, sobre todo en la parte baja de las plantas, para evitar acumulación de humedad y hongos. Si la humedad fuera del armario es menor entonces aumenta la extracción. Lo ultimo seria un deshumidificador. Si bien es cierto que no debería ser mucho problema esa humedad pero en floración avanzada es un riesgo que quieres evitar. Buenos humos!👌
