Weight Lost During Drying?

My experience is in line with everyone else- very close to 75%, perhaps a little closer to 80% but surely somewhere between those figs.

i'd say a good quarter pound. yeah if you got an oz. before drying after expect it to be about a quarter oz or 4 lbs before wow!! seems like a shit load right after drying it will only be around a pound kinda disapointing. but hey thats life. i like to weigh my before and after i know its done when its lost 70% of its weight any less and its prone to bud rot any more and it gets brittle and falls apart like powder. just a little helpful advice cause i hate judging buy eye. looks good keep it up!

I use 20% of the wet weight and come close to the dry weight.
Just harvested two plants and got 1431 grams wet weight., so 20% would be 286 grams or 10.25 zips.
After drying I will see what I come up with. Hopefully I will get between 25 and 30% return.
The majority of the buds are very tight and the branches are heavy.
Trimmed and hung.

Got one more Wedding Cake to do and one Mimosa EVO. The EVO is very heavy branched, my assistant is growing them now and just harvested also. Two plants down and he should do around 12 zips off those.

After the third plant the wet weight conversion @ 20% is 16.1 zips. Most buds are good and tight.

One plant left in the tent, the Mimosa EVO around another week for that one.
