I have had that as well. It happens with any "live" potting soil that is moist. It is a good sign and does no harm. Go ahead and use the soil.

Does it matter that vapor from a humidifier is going directly to leaves?
I got a humidifier which was outside the tent because of little space, the vapor was going high and then being sucked into the tent due to extraction fan running constantly. So i had a brainwave and got a bottle, duct tape, positioned it so that it is pointing down. This Q ok?
