Thanks fatboy! Yeah, I left big stems on each cola for drying, so I'm underestimating to 1/4 to be humble. I used T5 up to the last week of veg and I added 400 HPS ON TOP of that. Those 8 T5 fluoro were supposed to supply another 19,000 lumens with a little over another 400W in the space of tiny 2'x4' grow tent. I wanted to make it as dense as possible to make into a very efficient grow. You'll see how I set it up on my journal. Feel free to click on my signature and check out the set up!

75%-80% of the wet weight of weed (buds alone) is water.

New growers should not count for more than 15%-25% dried and cured bud (based on wet weight).

My first reaction is you are trying to dry/cure it to fast. 6 days and you are trimmed and in your jar. You need to allow time for Chlorophyll, Sugars, and Terpines to break down. I also am a fan of manicuring dry, valuable terpines and sugars in the, smaller sugar leaves are what create the great taste and aroma.

Not quite. Did you check out my grow journal? I'm using Boveda Humidipak 65% for perfect curing. I did lots of research on curing tobacco, tea, etc as well. I'd love to test drying manicuring a small batch for my second grow for comparison, though. I thought about it. I really like the look of small sugar leaf curling up and protecting a nice looking bud. Lovely. And functional, so it seems.

My case

416/1906*100=21.8% I'm quite happy with the number as a first grower then.

That is a pretty good % for a first grower.

Congratulations on your first successful grow :joint:

Thanks, man. I think it will go down by a few more % as the moisture level goes down a little lower and I test smoke some more... Heheh.
