How much weight do the buds lose with drying?

how much weight do the buds lose with drying? roughly.. from fresh to "dry".

does anyone know? Im interested mabey I can predict the "dry" weight just by weighing it right after harvesting.

thanks

about 1/2 with the total process

u mean if its freshly 200g then in the end of the drying it will be around 100g?

Yea after all the drying and trimming and curing yea ..

actually it's 75%-80%, so 200 grams of wet bud will be about, 40 to 50 grams when completed drying........

lol yea thats about right

yeah 75 percent

about 75%

hmm lol 2 of u says its 50% and another 2 says its 75%.

any more input?

oh seems like its 75% then =) thank you

it's definitely at least 75% usually it's closer to 80%, depends how moist you like your buds, but at 50% you would have trouble smoking it it would be so wet still......

yup wet bud has a really harsh smoke

but if I already started this question.. could u tell me how much does it seems to have on it atm? how much yield?

somebody told me its 1.5-2oz but mostly they said its 2.5-3.5oz.

whats ur opinion?

With all the buds on that plant trimmed, dries and cured you should end up with atleast 3 ounces. Mine usually lose 2/3's of the weight after drying and cured.Nice looking plant.

Thats a beast!!!

75% jigga. dont be lettin nun o dees foos tell u uddawize. YAWADAMEEEN?

Your final dry weight will be about 70-80% lighter then when you set it up to dry

Oh and from the picture Id guess around 3 oz dry nice plant

the majority rules, It all depends on how u like your buds, I know some people who like them moist, when others like it bone dry. Me personally, Im the Bone dry, roll it up and burn it kinda guy. I lose roughly 65 - 75% when said and done... and your plant looks good, my prediction is about 2 1/2 - 3oz.
Be sure to let us know how it turns out. Have you thought about how youre gonna cure yet?

I have have been reading about curing..

something like that:

1) I trim all the leaves and stems off. (and keep them for making hash)

2) I hang the buds upside-down in a dark place with temps around 70F.

3) after a week or so I try to bend the stem. the perfect time to take them is that point where it ALMOST snaps (u can feel it).

4) now I put them in a glass jar which has to be airproof. still they have to be in a dark place and temps should be same.

5) next day I check them and if the glass jar is moist inside I lay the buds out to get the last water out. I open the jar daily and if the glass jar wont get moist anymore the buds are "ready".

6) I put the glass jar into a fridge and let it be there for a week or so. temps should be over 0 Celsius so there's no risk for freezing the buds.

7) I take the buds out and... as a result I get a smooth, tasty and potent buds.


lol that was my concept of curing the buds.

correct me if Im wrong please and tell me know if u have a better version or something to add.

thank you!
