Just curious how you estimate your dry weight. 28 grams dry would be 24.5% of the wet weight. Is that basically what you do? Divide wet by 4 to get an estimate?

This is the first time I've taken a wet weight. Someone can correct me if I'm off on the number but I thought you lose about 70% of your weight from wet to dry. So 114 grams times 30% comes out to 34.2 grams. Even at 25% it comes out to 28.5 grams.

I've read as high as 75 percent but that's the highest I found. Either way, you pulled an oz. that's impressive.
Since this is my first go with wet weight I just googled it and the numbers vary a bit. Like everything in MM it's probably strain dependent so I guess I'll find out later.

I must dry mine way too much! As I usually end up with 20-22% of my wet weight....hurting myself all these years I suppose

It really depends on how much you starve the plant of water to. If you water before you chop (not saying you did) then there will obviously be more wet weight but yes I have heard 70% as well. I have never taken wet weights though as I dont like to handle the buds more than necessary

No sarcasm.........I really can't vote and it will be an extremely hard decision this round.
thought you jumped in and backed out....

I didn't think that wet weight had any bearing on dry weight.... lemme go pull mine down..... Ummmm.... my scale says overload.......its got a 200g limit....

Hey everyone:) Here's my cup girl at the end of her days... Here she is pre-chop, pre-trim:

And here she is after a rough trim, I chopped her at the base and hung her up right after this pic:

Not an ounce, but I think she did pretty well...especially since this is my first run with these COBs and I have no idea how far away to keep them, haha. It's been a fun comp with all of you guys, so thanks for having me:)

That's pretty sexy. What strain is she?
