Im currently in my 9th Week of flowering big buddas - blue cheese. Trichomes all milky, still waiting for amber. However, whilst i was pulling around the branches to view under the microscope, I bent a branch, and it folded over :sad:

I rushed to get on here for some advice, but decided the damage was allready done, and it was the smallets on the plant, so i removed it, gave it a trim and i'll give this water curing a try on this particular bud.

Anyways, Using information from this site only, this has been my first grow using 300W of cfl, cheap ionic nutrients and a simple hydroponic system built myself using bits off ebay.

I decided to weigh this bud as its the smallest so I could roughly gauge how much the overall plant will produce. The bud weighed in at 25g (wet) Being a first time grower I was expecting some poor results but I have 4 main colas all much much bigger than this and loads of smaller buds branching off this also. I am very happy and cannot wait to start my new grow using 600W HID/HPS :-P

My question is how much weight should i expect to loose once dry?

*expect to loose 35%-45% of weight after dry/cure.. cheers
 
That nug looks like it will be close to a quarter when dry, my guess would be 6 grams. It kind of depends on how dense the buds are.
