early on higher humidity is recommended. It reduces transpiration and stress on a young plant. It is not required. If you do, you also have to sloly ease it off the excess humidity to harden it off. slowly expose over short period of time to ambient air.
Temp + RH% are the primary driver of transpiration in leaves, which is primary driver of water intake to the plant. Read up on VPD - vapor pressure deficit. Not all calculated VPDs mean the same exact thing.. if you reference a table you can see you can react "1.0" an infinite combinations of temp and RH... not all will have exact same reaction, but is still a good guide... as long as it's not an extremem combination, should be similar, though. 100% humidity and super high heat may equate to 1.0 but probably not optimal
for mature plants, 1.2-1.5 is probably a good upper range. Seedlings suggest lower VPD around 0.8, but don't quote me on that.. use google.
unless you live in a desert or your furnace makes the indoor climate very arid, probably not necessary -- clones benefit more greatly from it during intial rooting phase, though. Even so, it may result in slightly faster growth overall... trial and error.. is it worth it? depends on results of your garden and it's esoteric variables.
