this isnt exact. not every plant has the same moisture as another when pulled. ive seen it loose only 40% before.

used to be always something between 65-75% for me which is logical since the green bud on the plant consist of about 75-80% of water and a bit salts besides the plant material and the thc

I usually see very close to 75% water weight in fresh buds. Seems like buds left to flower a bit longer than usual (10wks vs 8wks) lose slightly less weight in drying, but only slightly, perhaps closer to 70% water weight lost in drying.
Most strains are roughly 70% water. For sake of arguement we have 100g (100g water =100ml) 30% of which is solids therefore 70% liquid. Dried weed contains aprox 10% water.
So out of the 100g we already know 30g (%)is solids. (Dry) The weed is going to keep 10% moisture so Add 10 + 30=40
Therefore expect 40g for every 100g of wet weed.

As much as that might seem to make sense, average is 75% loss from standard drying, 85% from watercure. The moisture in the bud is accounted for in the 75% loss.Most strains are roughly 70% water.

I'm confused. I just weighed a bud at 6.9 gm. I devided by 6.5 and according to this my bud will weigh 1.2 gm when dry. From 6.9 to 1.02?

When I've measured wet weight and dry weight, it's always right at 22 percent of wet weight. So you can estimate dry weight to be 20-25 percent.

So I just had 1.6 lbs of wet buds 1 day after chop.
Then 4 days later before jarring it was 1.1 lbs.
Now 6 days after jarring its just over 14 oz.

You lose about 75% of wet weight.Does anyone know how much of a loss in weight occurs from when harvested bud is just cut to when its dried?

Is this with or without the stem? When estimating for fresh frozen extraction, we should not be including stem weight.
