EXPERT GROW ADVICE
SUBJECT: Guess the Weight
FROM: Andy C.
Hi, Danny. I’ve read many growers’ forums, and some people weigh their weed wet right after trimming, while others say this is a waste of time and weigh theirs only after drying and curing. My question is: Which is better? Also, when seed shops, etc., talk about the yield of different varieties, do they mean wet or dry weight? Thanks!
Dear Andy,
Cannabis loses about 75 percent of its weight during the drying and curing process. This means that if you weigh your buds wet, you can get an idea of how much you’ll have once it’s ready to smoke: 25 percent of the total wet weight, so that four pounds wet, for example, will ultimately yield you one pound dry. Keep in mind that this is a rough estimate and your results may vary. Seed companies that post their yield per plant are referring to the dry weight after harvest is complete.
Always store dried and cured cannabis
