From half to three quarters will be lost weight wise.

i think three quarters is a little excessive, more like 1/3 to a half

the % will change alot depening if its seeded bud or not. ive had 600 grams dry out to 200 seedless and have had 500 grams dry down to 250 seeded.

Fresh buds are usually about 75% water.

Buds harvested while immature (before 8 wks flowering) will tend to lose more weight in drying. Those flowered slightly longer than normal (10wks vs 8wks) lose slightly less weight in drying, perhaps 70%.
