Dry weight vs Wet!!

Hello! I've been reading different smoke reports lately, and decided to make this thread just to see about how much the dry weight is, compared to the one you get when you harvest.
I've been hearing that it's about 75% of the original wet, when it completely dries out.
My personal experience, is from a friend who harvested 13g and got only 3.something, dry weight! (Fail!)
What's yours??

Don't know, never weighed after harvest because i knew the results would not matter. All I've ever done is weigh em after they hang dry for about 10 days and i snip em off the stick. Did you harvest the nugs off the stick and then dried? Lay them all out or something? I hang cause its easy.

Yeah, it's about 1/4.. Do you guys think that if you water your plant the last, let's say 3 days or not, it affects your wet weight? Cos if so, it isn't 1/4.. :shock:

its not really gonna affect your wet weight really because if your flushing its just to get the plant to use up all the nutes that its been feed over its lifespan

Yes, I wasn't talking about flushing, just watering.. If for example I stop watering 2 days before harvesting and another guy stops at 7 days, will his be drier, and show less wet weight?
That's what I'm asking! :?

I never weigh wet it's a waste of time and damages the moist trichromes, it's best to wait until dry. Wet weight means nothing anyways.

I have lots of ways to increase wet weight. Soak your freshly cut plant in water before weighing is a simple but effective way to gain wet weight.
