Hey. What may cause plant to sweat during dark period? Its purple wreck 5 weeks old, I moved it to 12/12 3 days ago and since then every time I open the cabinet right after light turns on the ends of leafs have droplets all over like due or condescension but other plant and wals are dry so its not it. Only that one plant, is ist a reaction to fllip to 12/12

Sounds like you're leaves are overlapping. Either spread the branches out by tying them down or trim some excess , overlapping leaves. I don't recommend having fans on 24/7. Especially if you stake your plants. No excess wind is necessary if you have inline fans running or other ventilation when lights are off.

I don't think it's humidity because only one plant is affected and other one is right next to it. The foliage is kind of overlapping and thick, I trained the plant and it did the trick. On the pictures you can see the little droplets.

When the temperature drops (lights go out) the air cannot hold as much moisture. You're more likely to notice the phenomena of moisture on the leaves because it cannot evaporate off the leaves as quickly because the air is not able to accept more moisture very easily.

tldr: increase your ventilation, especially once your lights go out.

I've seen the dew.
Always sativas. I've never seen it on cabbages.
It isn't condensation from humidity. It doesn't get you high.
What is it?
We have so much to learn. . .

That could cause bud rot in a later stage I guess. Always run your ventilation 24/7. Whats the humidity level in your cabinet?

Keep your vent fan running 24/7. I had a problem in my tent with condensation at night cycle. I used to just run my can during the day cycle. Humidity raises at night especially if your vent fan is off.
 
And what does it mean to stake your plants?

Ya know a stake , a pole made with a pointed end that is inserted into the ground or container in order to be utilized by the plant naturally or by intervention with ties . We stake our plants early into flower so they are better able to hold the flower weight / staking also allows one to open a plant up by spreading it out for more light penetration .
