Is there an average loss of weight From weight to dried?

I was thinking about this earlier, I believe that it is around 75-80% loss.
Is that number correct? My thinking is for newer growers to weigh wet and then weigh after a few days so when it reaches that magic number they can start to cure. Now the problem with this is that I don't know if there is in fact an average or if each strain has it's own ratio of loss. Does this make sense to anyone?

I meant WET to dried, not weight. Maybe I should not ask questions while sampling.

I'm weighing my first buds when picked this week and will compare when they are cured shortly. Will let you guys know. Its getting close to summer here in Oz with temps at 20-30C (70-90F) buds are drying real fast. In the jars after hanging and bagging for 4 days.

When I quick dried a couple smaller buds on my girl, one bud weighed 4.2g and the other weighed 6.3g wet. When they were dry 3 days later one weighed 1.2g and the other weighed 2.5g So 70% loss + or -

The whole point of this was for noobs to have an estimate of when their weed was dry enough to cure. I figured if there is a magic number it would be easier to weigh the bud a few times until 75% and when they start to become more experienced they can know just by looking/feeling.

A few or more issues back, there was an “article” in your mag about a dude named Jay Generation talking about his favorite Northwest strains. Turns out it was a huge advertisement about his company, Next Generation, and their newest strain, Bonkers.

A couple of issues back, Jorge Cervantes tells us about Next Generation and how badass they are and to check out to greenlifeseeds.com. He says it’s a trusted site. So I send them $180 dollars for the Next Generation outdoor special.

I went to the Web site a few days ago, only to learn that it “couldn’t be found,” and now when you go there, it’s something completely different. When a mag starts passing advertisements off as articles, that’s when it’s time to stop subscribing to that weak-ass mag.

I included my address to show that I am a subscriber, and because I wanted you to know who was telling you to fuck off.

Dear K.B.,
As we say in Spain, you are touching my balls! I don’t make editorial policy for the magazine, but I do control my own shit, and I’m very proud of the accurate information that I risk my balls to collect and dole out (as do a lot of others), even to “subscribers” like you.

First off, realize that sending seeds across the US border is illegal, and the cops have been closing down seed sellers in Canada for more than a year. Growing marijuana in America is also illegal. Pay attention to these facts and show respect where it is due. I contacted the owner of Next Generation, who is in charge of the greenlifeseeds.com Web site. Here’s an excerpt from his response:

“The Greenlifeseeds domain name just expired, but it will be up again in the next couple days. I haven’t been able to check the e-mails there for a couple days. It’s taking me awhile to get it up again since I’m on the road. Some customers freak out at the delays, but I’m still in business—it’s just a Web-site problem.
“A lot of our orders to the US were delayed or ‘returned to sender’ in December 2007 and part of January because the border agents shut down my mailbox in Vancouver. There’s going to be some pissed-off customers, because their orders were returned from that mailbox after several weeks or were sent out very late. My lawyer was lucky to get the mail returned to the customers instead of handed over to the police. All the problems have left me pretty broke, but I can’t open a bank account now, so I’m trying to set something else up.

“We acquired a new mailbox and it’s been running smoothly so far. The Greenlifeseeds shipping business is now run out of the UK. It seems to be more trouble than it’s financially worth to do business with the US these days. Now that Marc Emery has been busted by the US, they’re after the rest of us too. They’re out to shut me down in Canada, and my bank accounts have also been seized, so it’s been pretty stressful.

“The orders are still going out, but it’s been taking a couple of weeks instead of the usual week or so. The orders to the US also have problems about 10% of the time and are taken by border agents.—Jay G.”

I have found that 77% is the percent closest to my harvests. I'm sure it has something to do with the way I trim and the amount of stem I leave on etc... but 77% is the number I use when forecasting the dried weight.
