Every time I attempt this the time I dried never matches the wieght. Not enough to be reliable to under 1/4oz. I wiegh the herb once the feel of the bud is right and enough time was expired on the callendar.
Most times a quater of my wet weight is approx my dry weight, i have little problems using this method and its served me well so far.

I try to count but when I get past 10 it starts to get tough. Just to throw it out there, who's got an opinion on counting when they take a month to flip? I've been playing with pulling 2-5 minutes off daily. Personally I make note of when I identify and confirm males, that is the start of flower to me.

You can work out dry weight from wet weight so i dont see your point!
and how may I ask do you do that?

plus you should weigh your tiny budds and sugar leaf (unless it is going right into the fire pit) I make my medibles from my sugar leaf and tiny budds, and if leo finds your leaf and tiny budds they are going to use it against your weight, they are also going to use your wet weight if they pop you while it is drying!

always weigh your medible waiste weight, and take the necisarry precautions so you dont get caught with a 1/2 lb of stuff you may throw away! or may be waiting for enough to make a nice batch of what ever extraction you make!

leo dont care if it is dry or wet, they are supposed to but dont hold your breath, pack a tooth brush and keep it handy for your stay at the county hilton!

Peace

Weigh the fresh harvest, subtract 75%= your dry weight.

I assume the seed breeders run tip top rooms. I keep mine the same, with the same temps, c02 augmentation, air flow, RH, and even nutrients/fertilizer, and most often share their experience of suggested flowering finish times. they say 60 , I see cloudy trichs on day sixty--From the day of switch btw, silly rabbits

I just weigh my bud at harvest and a week or so later its about quater the weight, buds shrink a fair bit too when drying. Its not mega accurate but a good approximation, i dont bother doing it now but i do often divide the harvest into quaters and take a rough guess based on that.

Home growers can have more fun making a guess where as legal and med places just ruin everything.

Reference weight, I grow for personal use. So weight is of no concern.
What is of concern is harvesting a plant at the stage it's mature and gives me the desired effects I'm growing it for.
Rather have one jar of quality over ten jars of shite.

stick around, you'll see journals ending in "how much did it weigh", or " how much will this yield" or "how much did yours yield",
or "grams per watt?" , so yeah, there are many reports of weight here.

Harvesting time, quality, maturing, reasons for growing...all very subjective terms around here, but I tend to agree with you.

good day

Im not sure if a more exact number is 70% and 75% just keeps the answer more conservative plus easier on the maths. I believe a lot of this is relevant to the science of curing and storage.

I followed the guidelines in the grow bible, garden and drying space. I set both and forget it. temps, rh, c02, air flow, light, and the results are the same each time too(go figure right). the book suggests the 75% and I find it to be exact, using the same parameters.
but yes, numbers could be different surely, depending on which book you read....lol

View attachment 3870286 People, why can't we all be on the same page? Count your flowering from the day you flip. If you count when you see flowers it becomes a subjective matter. Do you count New Years when you see fireworks. NO! You count from midnight (In your area) like everyone else! Simple, right? That means everyone's week five is the same. No questioning. Give me one good reason to count from flower development. Here is my day 31, FROM FLIP!
And it will still run one or more weeks longer then the breeder report says!

I don't count anything! They're done when they are DONE! If you harvest by days of bloom? Your quality is going to suffer!

The days of bloom are a general amount of time! EVERY grow is different then the breeders environment - part of why you don't get the "same" results he does!

I tore your page out of my book! Who cares what "everyone" counts! If it works for them? It WORKS! :dunce:

:wall:

 
Yep exactly evreybody gunna argue hell hafe the time just read your plants there done when there done
Totally agree. When they are done, they are done! So everyone needs to be on the same page and count from flip. Remember what I said, if you count when you see flowers it's subjective.

Why would everyone need to be on the same page? What difference does it make to you if my plants were on day 1 or 15, it isn't changing anything.

I think it would help with comparisons to other grows. If I'm baking the directions clearly state every time to preheat the oven. The it gives the the approximate time for cooking. It doesn't give you the exact time it's ready. You decide. But everyone agrees that you don't put it in the oven until it reached the disired temperature. You don't hear cooks saying, I put my roast in when the oven is half way heated. And the other cook say, I put my roast in five minutes after optimal temperature. But they all agree it's done when it's done. DROP THE MIC!
