Humidity question

Hey Guys!
I live in a humid area, my average bedroom humidity is 60%.
I just set up my 4x4 tent. With ventilation running my average tent humidity is 43%. Will my grow be fine as long as I keep the humidity in the tent at that level? Just wondering if having a higher humidity outside the tent will matter if I'm keeping inside around 43%. I also plan on drying in the tent. Will 43% be safe even tho the outside of the tent is 60?
Thanks Dudes!

You are fine. The light will burn off some of the moisture, and keep in mind that many strains come from areas of 100% humidity. Fresh air to let them breathe, circulate air to lessen the impact.

You be cool... go with the flow...

Don't sweat it...imo 43% rh is a tad low unless last few weeks of flowering. In veg I like to keep it around 60 to 65% rh and slowly drop it after stretch in early flower is done (after the first 3 weeks of flower)....follow vpd

The inside of my house is 25% Rh right now, and I have to use electricity to heat. I struggle using water sprayed on tee shirts to keep 45% at 72*F in the closet the seedlings are in. In the wintertime, I need heat and more humidity, and am thinking I may put one of those 10K BTU propane blue flame heaters on the wall in the lung room. Adds heat, moisture, and CO2.

60% will be fine during vegetative mode. But in flowering mode it's best to go lower to avoid mold issues.
It goes up when the light goes out too inside your tent. I think you'll be fine with the conditions you have.
Keep the air moving also.
