i have a humidity issue as well but my plants dont really seem to mind that much. if youre really worried then go spend about 25 dollars at wally world and get your self a humidifier.

put a pic on of one of them and and your room, what soil you used or mixed, when you water and feed what you feed and how much. sq. ft. of room, fan model in and out. but i think i have a pretty good idea what is going on.qft

your intake fan and you outtake fan. thats were i would start sounds theres a slight vacuum going on which just a depressuring will give the plants a dull look. Make sure you intake is more powerful than the outtake. plus co2 will bring back you healty shine your looking for, theres a few ways you can do this(on a side note if your plants had a shine, means there should be a nice shine till flowering for like 99. percent of plants). NEVER LET YOUR ROOM GO ABOVE 72F AND NEVER COLDER THAN 55 FOR INDOORS.
I had the same problem,was advised it was low humidity and told not to use my extraction all the 18hr.but this caused the temp to jump up.so i just keep spraying the plants with water till there was enough green mass to up the humidity,it got to the right levels by week 4.hope this helps a bit as iam not a vetran grower.

yeah i have the same prob get a humidifier. I have one of the nighttime ones but get a 24 hour one. My leaves get saturated from the 45 % then the exhaust fan sucks them dry when humidifier is not on. Can't be good for them stress wise but can't help it right now
