Could you explain the 60%/cured part.? Probably on my end but I didn't understand
Wet weight to dry weight... Conversion estimate.

Sorry Db... I get rambling and forget to explain. When you cure you want to jar your product at a certain point before dry and allow a really slow dry in the jar from that point , burping or removing the lid every allows for moisture to escape slower than on a rack or open air.Its very hard to hit that same percentage point to start the cure every time. The scale set to 60%(I use 60 only for reference) will let you know every time when your product has lost just the right amount of moisture and you can now jar your product. Its just a way of making sure you are starting at the same % and the process is the same every time. JAS

Makes sense. Super practical. Will definitely use this my next go. Thanks

Seems like 60 is alot i would personally go with 40 percent. That way i can burp the first week twice a day for 10 min . The second week once a day for 10 min. Third week every other day . Once on the 4 th week and then once on the 6th if all is good by then id leave them closed and check up on them once in a while.

i recently harvested and i weighed wet to dry and this is what i came up with.
Grown under a 1000 w, and picked at 58 days of flowering. vegged for 30 days was smallest one in the room 5x5
Blue Mazar
wet=102.7g
Dry=25.2g
Pretty much 75% loss.
i will be doing this for a year in an attempt to gain as much info i can on the different strains that i have as a part of a selective breeding process. if anyone would like to contribute their details that would be great

No offense man, but that sounds like a really light harvest...
Not sure what kind of yield Blue Mazar is suppose to get but with a 1000 watt light and only 25.2 grams is not good.
Thats only 0.025g / watt. I suggest vegging for longer and making the most of your 100 watter.
Unless you meant 25 oz then you did an great job. Thats about 0.7g / watt

I think he is saying thats one plants from the grow . the smallest in his grow. i would hope thats not just the only plant and the total yeild froma 1000 watt bulb or something went way wrong.

Or maybe they hate money and love the electric company.

75-80% will be the numbers somewhere in there. It is the moisture content not the strains that dictate when it is smokeable. JAS

Yes those will be the numbers. I'm aware that mousture content determines smokeability I'm tring to determine which breeds I am running produce the most finished weight and if letting the plants dehydrate their soil before harvesting yields better results for several different reasons. I am on my mobile so I won't type it all out but I will post in my grow journal my little experiments and the results I am hoping to achieve.

Thanks for clarifying, man. Lol I was a little confused as to what your total weight was.
I find the exact same thing, about a 75% loss. If you start with 24 oz you end up with 6.
