umm...like 75-80% water

[rodekyll]

figure .2 max. Mebbe less depending on you drying technique. My tests weighing fresh and dry are always about .2 - .22. Never saw .33 in cured, smokable bud.

Del... is completely right on that one, its about 70 - 80 % water in the bud, so you'll loosea hell of alot. Thats why you never buy wet weed, cos you get ripped...

i agree with every one bub weight loss during drying blows it helps to not only dry your harvest but also to cure it i have found that cureing dried buds makes better all around smoke and can also add alittle weight if tou just want your bub to last longer maybe look into a vaporizer to take advantage of damp bud accuratesc@hotmail heres an e-mail add to aroma care vaporizors
hope this helps

good luck

I was looking for a good method of re-moisturizing bud that had gotten too dry. I'd read about adding apple or orange peel, putting a wet cotton ball in the container, etc. All seemed to have drawbacks I didn't like: danger of moulding, favoring, or otherwise damaging the stash. One morning as I was burping the canister with one hand and steaming the milk for my latte with the other, it occured to me that sometimes the left hand ought to know what the right hand is doing. I put the cannister under the nozzle and gave the bud a really quick shot of steam -- as fast as I could open and close the valve. Problem solved, instantly!

Thankyou garden knowm, im gunner try that...

To re-moison my bud when im curing i usually just use lettuce... it has no flavour so you still get the lovely skunky smell
