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

Is My Drying Humidity Too Low?Humidity is hanging right around 60% but sometimes dips to 58%. Temp is around 66°-68°. Those numbers are coming from my AC Infinity controller, while a cheap little temp and humidity gauge I placed in the plant says humidity is 71%.
Is my humidity too low? Get a humidifier?

Estimating wet bud weight from dry bud weightThe harvest report for the diary asks for wet bud weight, which I didn't measure. (I think it'd be hard to provide that number if you didn't wet trim, right?) So, what's a good conversion: using dry trim weight to estimate wet trim weight?

How close to harvest?This is my fourth grow and every time I'm doubting myself when I should chop her down.Can I get your opinions? All microscopic pics are on the buds and not the sugar leaves. To me it looks like I'm close, about a week? If I'm off a lot in my time can you explain why? Many thanks!

Wet trim and get the kief?Is it worth it to pause the drying process and wet trim?
I am mostly asking this since I read it's easier to wet trim and I can hopefully extract some kief from the sugar leaves with a grinder in the process.
What are your thoughts, leave it as is, or get that kief?
