How can the 75% loss be minimized???

[Leo B Anderson]

This 75% weight loss from picked weight to dry weight is killing me!! Has anyone found a way to reduce this percentage??

grow outside...
really i dont think theres anything you can do but grow in the best possible conditions
or you could grow more plants to make up for lost weight...

Smoke it while its wet.
I don't reccomend that though.

Wet weed is weak sauce...wouldnt even consider that an option.

He was joking dude.

 

[Fishy:)]

pretty stupid question man, the 75% is water

 

[dannyboy602]

Interestingly we are also about 75% water

 

[racerboy71]

should be grateful that you're not growing shrooms as they are up to 90% or more water weight..

 

[genuity]

well...or you can just not give the plant water the last week/days,how ever fast your plant drinks,that should help reduce the "water" weight loss.
but its still the same in the end...

Just part of the process

Don't count your yield till AFTER its dry.

Use more/better lights CO2 to get higher yields. Either way when drying your bud its always going to lose weight and there's nothing that you can do about it

 

[theTinker]

I'd love something to add some weight to this.
I guess increasing the compactness of this is all we can do. Im always looking into bud hardeners and boosters to increase cell matter and not just water content.

Winner! ...

the moisture content or weight for that matter has nothing to do with how many cannabinoids are in the bud. a wet bud contains no more thc by weight than a dry bud of the same size - in fact, without properly drying and curing your bud, many complex cannabinoids will never be formed and your bud will be far less potent no matter how heavy! i scowl at all those trying to sell uncured weed to turn a larger profit.

 

[slabhead]

You just grow the best bud you can and the rest takes care of itself. If you come up short you just didn't grow enough huh?

This was a silly question...
