it was 18 pounds wet, but after it dried I also trimmed out alot of stems ,there wasnt alot of leaf left, not counting what i gave away its a 86% loss in weight.

take 18 pounds subtrate the dry weight 18-2.5 = 15.5 and devide by the 18 again.

18 - 2.5 =15 devide by 18 = .861111111111111 or 86 % easy see !!!!
