~75% of the plants weight is water weight.

New growers should not expect more than 15%-25% of the wet weight, once fully dried & cured.

Every strain has the same 'limitations' when it comes to water weight.
~75% of a cannabis plants weight is water weight, you cannot grow the plant without the water, and the water will evaporate during drying & curing.
