wet to dry forumula?

What is the average conversion weight from fresh cut buds to their properly cured final weight? Let's say one has 100 gms fresh. From faq's it seems they imply 80% reduction, but I'd like to hear from a few current growers on their formula.
Thanks!

mine went down about half in weight

I'd say 70% to 80% loss of weight during drying is about right.

Quite a diff between mjetta's estimate and WSlayer's . . . I'm rootin' for Mjetta, but guessing it's closer to Slayers. Bump-a-roo!

its always a little different. plan on somewhere in between

i always weigh my wet to dry and i alsmost always get 20-25 back. No more than 25

This'd be the answer I most expected.
So 100gms MIGHT yield one ounce.
Thanks!

So you're saying smaller, looser nugs tend to lose less drying weight? Is that right?
And that thinner stems/stalks also result in less curing loss?
That makes perfect sense.

"Plant with dense bud..lose about 70-80%...lighter..50-70%..depends on how much lumber." Twisty

One of us is confused more than the other?

How do you interpret Tw's comment?

In my experience u should expect to lose 60
to 75 percent,max! I have a suspicion that the 80% figure is put out there so ppl wont b disappointed. I have never seen that much loss in a fresh bud, ever.

That's good news. I thought not even an ounce out of 100 gms was a bit pessimistic.
Only time'll tell now. Thanks.
