Damn if you're doing your first harvest be prepared for shrinkage ALOT.. damn I was so disappointed when i seen em drying and shrinking so much!! I knew they would shrink but not so much.. :sad:
 
Yeah....when people post their yeilds of ounces etc, ya know they must have had a LOT .....I typically get about 30% of well trimmed, destalked wet.....as dry...
 
LOL, yea I started my cure with 12 full mason jars now there almost all half full from the water loss but at least I don't expect them to lose much more weight then they have.
 
i always assumed 1 pound wet will be more like 4-5 ounces dried...water weighs a lot.

70 -73% i mean.

man, i suck at the maths...lol
 
Yeah they say around 80% loss during drying. This also depends on when last water was.

I have bought into the letting them dry out a bit before harvest, forces plant into a last ditch effort to max budding. He'll I don't know, just usually ends up going that way.
