Don't have pics right now but I can describe it, basically, the new leaves aren't producing much dew and are very thin. the older leaves are totally fine, I have noticed a big drop in humidity in my 32qt. box. Any ideas? I'll try adding some type of humidifier in the meantime.

I can say historically that I had an Adelae die from low humidity but it was very small. A number of factors could be at work there, the humidity, may have mineral buildup, or possibly a light losing its potency. I've had all the above cause issues like that. Other factors to consider would be pests or mold.
