Quick drying and curing question, can't find it posted elsewhere

I was wondering what one is to expect when drying in terms of weight? To be more specific, what the is percent of weight that marijuana shrinks from fresh to dry? Do I lose like 50 percent, more? Less? I'm just curious so I can get a rough estimate.

75% is about average.

That sucks, lol.

Yea no shit!

Ya cut this huge bud off and go damn thats going to weigh a quarter of a oz. Then when it dries its about a gram. Its heart breaking.

Dry em out as slow as you can. Hang em upside down in a shed. About 3 quarters of weight is just the plants waters so yes you get a dramatic decrease of weight.
