Heck yeah the difference between wet and dry is massive, that is why I don't even check wet...if I don't know it can't bother me...besides I don't need to know how much water the plant matter was storing...that looks awesome...my first plant was grown for giggles in a widow sill until it started to flower...it was 3 ft tall, had never been nuted and rarely watered...and it gave me I kid you not---10 grams dry...lol.
I now get around 3 oz per plant with 3-4 weeks veg, off 2-2.5 ft plants...
