Wet to dry moisture loss.

[zippy420]

Here's an interesting question that i have regarding the percentage of fresh wet bud weight to dried cured bud weight.

i measured on a digital scale 150 grams wet. but dried for two weeks produces 35 grams. so i am assuming 150-35=115% moisture loss.

Am i correct in my figures?

Thanks!

No, dry weight is approx 1/4 of the wet weight. I think 2 weeks is too long to dry, they might get over-dry and crumble to dust. Just make sure you cure em for a good long while now to let the moisture at the stem redistribute.

I divide my wet weight by 6 and am usually really close to what i end up with after I've dried and manicured it.

I am confused, from the figure above originally 150g of wet bud to 35g of dry bud, that's exactly around 1/4 of the wet weight. I tot time isn't only the factor to measure the period of drying, because it depend on the humidity of the room and etc...
So....how do you really judge that it's time for it.
