they lose 70 to 85% of their weight, while they are drying they will lose weight daily until dry...

Lol.. yer probably rite.. lil fucker puffing mine.. jst found it strange that it lost so much weight.. he does hydro n i do soil and 2 be honest his buds were no bigger than pop corn.. n his eyes popped out his head wen he saw my buds.. so he suggests he'll take it n dry it.. I had chopped it 2 days before i gave him it at 26oz n he reports back after 1wk that its now dropped to 9oz.. Friends eh.. :(

Why did you agree to let him dry it, it doesn't make any sense... It sounds like he might be taking you for a ride.
"Here you grew it right but let me dry it right"... Don't be a sucker drive over there and pick up your nugs asap!

Well its kind of hard to tell the weight from wet to dry because it depends on the grower and how he drys out the bud, could over dry them, not dry them enough. but usualy in general you lose about 2/3's of the weight. hope that helps :bigjoint:

Did you mean to ask how much weight will it lose during the curing process?
Cause you said "After its done drying" ... not "after curing".

Anyway, if you dry your buds until 90% snap-able stems, how much more will they lose in the curing process.
Lets say someone hypothetically has 10 dried ounces, that are going into jars, how much more will they lose after the hang drying process?

I would like to know too.

You will lose minimum 70% from of weight when drying from wet to smokeable. More like 80-90% from wet to dry when its cured properly, depending how dry you like your buds.

I would say average 75-85% though.


:peace:
