As much as that might seem to make sense, average is 75% loss from standard drying, 85% from watercure. The moisture in the bud is accounted for in the 75% loss.Most strains are roughly 70% water. For sake of arguement we have 100g (100g water =100ml) 30% of which is solids therefore 70% liquid. Dried weed contains aprox 10% water.
So out of the 100g we already know 30g (%)is solids. (Dry) The weed is going to keep 10% moisture so Add 10 + 30=40
Therefore expect 40g for every 100g of wet weed.
(Buds only)
divide wet weight minus stems by 6.5 for dry weight. never fails. usually bang on or the dry weight is 2 to five gram more[h=3][/h][h=3][/h]
You lose about 75% of wet weight.Does anyone know how much of a loss in weight occurs from when harvested bud is just cut to when its dried?
Why do people revive these old threads?Cut and trimmed wet, hung dry for 3 days till crispy, cut off the stems and weighed in at 85 g. How much more moisture do you think will be lost just in curing?
