Aprox. how much water will you lose in weight when you dry and cure? I am trying to figure out what my wet weight will/should equal in dry weight.

Depends on factors such as relative humidity for your area, how long you let them dry for, and things like that. In general though you can expect to lose 75% of the buds mass to evaporation.

Dry weight is generally 18-21% of wet weight. So multiply the wet weight by 0.18 to 0.21

Example: wet bud is 200g. at 18-21% it will be around 36 - 42g dry.
