Weight Loss Day By Day At 60 F/55-60% RH For 7 Days, Wet Trimmed

[SinSemillaWhisperer420]

So I wanted to do an experiment to see what the rate of total weight loss is day by day under a controlled drying environment so here it is:

Purple Aliens
Purple Punch x Aliens OG

Wet weight after trimming and cutting branch by branch: 390 g. Bud with stem weight deducted in final weighing (no trim weight included)

Day: Recorded Weight (Recorded Temp./RH)

Day 1: 390g (63F/62%RH)
Day 2: 197g (65F/56%RH)
Day 3: 160.4g (66F/59%RH)
Day 4: 139g (67F/55&RH)
Day 5: 133g (61F/60%RH)
Day 6: 128g (64F/59%RH)
Day 7: 123g (60F/61%RH)
Final Weight 123g (with stems)
- 26g (stem weight)
Final Dried Bud Weight: 97g (buds only) 24.87% of wet weight

I hope this gives everyone a better idea of what their yield will potentially look like if you wet trim. Good Vibes and Happy Growing!

@SinSemillaWhisperer420, very interesting, thanks for sharing your study. There is a 50% weight loss after the 1st day, who would have thunk?

 

[SinSemillaWhisperer420]

Yes, the first day is the largest weight lost per day.

your findings are exactly what i've experienced.
final weight is always about 25% of harvest weight. i've always lost a consistent 75% to water. there are other sources that cite those numbers as well.

I agree 100%.

Awesome! I’m happy to see that everyone else has had similar results!
