Those of you that hang entire plants to dry… if you weigh the entire plant wet, what percentage loss in weight are you looking for before you buck the nugs and start curing?

I hang the full plant to dry, but I never weigh the full plant wet, but to give you an answer it would lose 90-95% depending on the plant. I've done it before where I weighed the plant wet and was just devastated when I then trimmed it all of the stem and compared the 2.
Robertsanswered grow question 2 years ago
You will lose about 75 percent of weight from moisture in flower as it dries

Ready for Harvest?Hello, I'm a newbie and that's my 1st try growing at home. I created my growing box with LED lights and ventilation—3 plants from Fast Buds auto mix. Question: Are they ready for harvest (100 days old)? And I would love to hear advice on how to dry them. Thanx!

What do you all think?What do you all think?
The harvest will be in a few weeks, in Germany only 50g is allowed dry
Do you think it will be more or less?
I know it will be hard to tell from a picture how much dry remains, but I hope there are some estimates.

I have two drying options for my one plant. Wine fridge with perfect temp or closet with perfect humidity. Which is best?Should I dry my one plant in a wine fridge with a compressor that causes the humidity to fluctuate between 50-70% but can be set to a perfect 60f, or should I dry in a closet with perfect 60% humidity but temp at a steady 74f with no way to lower it? Perfect humidity or temp? ThxOther. Harvest - Drying

How long after the last flush, do you wait until you chop your plant?
Do you let it dry out so the pot is nice and light before you harvest? Or is a little moisture left in the soil ok? Did last flush 48 hrs ago and I'm itching to chop her down, but still slightly damp soil

Drying.Hi all!
I currently have 2 plants growing. 1 of them has clearly bloomed faster and I will have to harvest it earlier.
Because I have only one grow box and I don't know where to dry it. Can I put them somewhere for two weeks to wait for the 2nd one?
Could u tell me what to do?

Drying conditions still good?Drying for 8 days and 10h
No SNAP and smells a bit like grass/hey
Unfortunately I have to change my conditions from 16.1c 65% rh (rh was slow raising from 55%to 65%)
To now 16.6c 51%rh.
Is this still good for the last days?
Last drying took me 16 days.

Harvest in 2 times, seeking advice, top big branch/buds first and then lowerNow 7 days from harvest. 3 plants with cloudy tricomes, no spottted ambar it's fine.
Is necessary to harvest in 2 times? Give a week more for the bottom "popcorn" buds and the third plant, shorter in shadow?
Should I cut whole largest branches entirely, or cut all at same height

Edible out of fresh harvestHi, I'm not very much into smoking weed, more like eating edibles. In cause of financial and space problems, my plan is to make edibles stait out of the harvest or after the drying. My question is: Does the curing/fermentation effects the potency or effect of the weed?Buds. Other
