I would say 80% loss if you want it perfect for storage.

That's closer to what I've normally seems but basically 75-80% for me.

yup, thats what i see 75/80% weight loss when dryed. sems were all in agreement with that.

and yeah, it is a bit disappointin when ya have a nice big phat juicy cola one day, and a few days later it looks like someone was pinchin it, lol.

I agree with major, 50-60% weight lose.

agree with the mob here....atleast 75%, you have to consider the surface moisture, the stomata closing (and loss of leaf moisture)....
soo many things happening to the babies during dry/cure.

Uhhhhhh. I think we have it...close enough to count...lol. Considering the size of your room you can kind of bank on it.

I remember once my friend had a security issue and it was his first grow ever. He had to bring it to my house to dry so he spread it out on newspaper on my basement floor and then left. After about five days later he came over and we went down into my basement to see how well the weed was drying. As soon as he walked into the room and looked down at his now much smaller pile of weed, his face turned white as a sheet. He then turned to me and called me a thief! I guess with his lack of growing and drying experience it looked like the pile had been picked at and he swore up and down that I stole from him. So after almost getting in a fist fight he left very angry.

I didn't see or talk to him again for months and I had finally forgot about the whole ordeal. Then one day out of the blue he ended up knocking at my door. When I opened the door I was suprised it was him. He had a sheepish look on his face and then be told me he was very sorry. It turned out he did a second crop and dryed the stuff out at his house this time. He saw with his own eyes how much it had decreased from the drying process. I let him in and we smoked a big fatty and talked for a while. We are still friends today, but I keep it in the back of my head the stress he had caused me, and never again will I do him a favor. Forgive, but never forget.

So, just a word of caution to anyone that has a friend whom is new to growing and wants to use your place for a drying room - don't allow it - it isn't worth the head ache.
