I don't even weight mine before they are dry, because it is kinda depressing. :bigjoint:

Now I don't like to weight the stems either, just buds.bongsmilie

I usually weight them when I put them in the curing jars, just to get an idea of what I've got. :eyesmoke:

Actually I use the weight drop to aid in calculating wetness as part of my dry and cure process. When the weight has dropped by 70% i cut them off the hanging branches and let them sit in a couple of large opened resealable containers. when they get the right fell \I mason jar them. couple of days burping and I am good to go on in the storage cupboard. dark, cool.

Just so you dont think I am gonna weigh everything I tag a couple of branches per plant. weigh those for the ratio...

I am not depressed by the shrinkage. It is part of the natural process to get to my happy place.

No disrespect intended, but once you get that cleaned up, and trimmed you won't yield near what you are expecting.

There is nothing to those buds - they are light and airy, and mostly made up of leaves once trimmed there will be nothing left.
Also you are weighing ounces of stems that yield nothing - just trying to tell you the truth.
