how much weight loss from wet to dry? - Page 3 - Cannabis Harvesting & Processing - International Cannagraphic Magazine Forums

I already have some dried and it seems like 75% is about right.

Lmfao TGT I'm sorry that was truly a mis fortunate event but it was funny at the same time because I can't imagine how I'd react if I asked a friend to dry out my first harvest and came back and saw what was left after drying. It does suck how much buds shrink, that's why I always have such a hard time deciding when to harvest. I always want to give them more time to hope for more bud mass even though I know they'll still shrink to miniature colas and buds compared to what they used to be. Well I guess for those that don't pull 1-3 lb a grow(dry), that's why it's good to grow as much as possible/perpetually

yup, 75% loss in weight

Wet weigh number divide by 3 always worked for me.

Ive weighed wet, then dry, then again @ 45 days cured on my last 3 harvest and the number is 22-23% when finished.

my end formula is wet weight multiplied by 22.5%....

Depends on how dry it is to start out. Usually it'll be 75%, but if you don't water for a few days before harvest, they will already be more dry, and the loss is more like 60%. Doing this also means drying time is reduced.

shit at least it isnt 85-95%

Are we talking about pre-trim, or after trim?

And I assume most people in this thread are talking about indicas or indica doms?
