Yep, they'll be about 1/3 to 1/4 of the wet weight.

Properly dried buds lose about 75% of there wet weight.

If they are trimmed and you are talking just buds I think they only lose 50%, that's my experience.

hate to say it but if they are dried properly you could lose up to 80 percent which leaves you 4 oz

There is another factor at play here. If you are loosing 80% of the weight of trimmed buds in drying they were way too wet when they were harvested. Late flowering should be in humidity of low 40s or 30s if you can get it that low. This is too prevent bud mould. I think over 50% lost in drying is an indication that there was too much moisture in the buds at harvest.

So the answer to the question: how much weight will I lose in drying? can only be answered with the question: how wet are your buds?

this is what i follow for an idea of what my dry weight will be

i gotta agree with the osterich on this one,besides how can you turn down that illegal smile, btw thats one of my favorite john prine songs

75% is pretty general, maybe 50% if you werent watering the last week.

My personal experience,70 to 80%

over 9000%, so if everything goes how it should youll be left with about 0.3g

The crazy thing about this thread is there is no good reason to weigh until dry anyway. A pound of fish wrapped in 10 pounds of paper is still a pound of fish.

yeah so i reckon you will end up with a 4 oz of cod

You will probably end up with 2 or 3 ounces when dry.

You will still have 10z just not in bud!

I'm sure your post will have meaning. Fourteen years ago.

You will loose around 70% - more if you are weighing the entire plant with main stem.
I remove and dry the individual stems and I loose around 70%
