how much weight do buds lose when dry??

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