My understanding is that up to 85% of the freshly harvested bud weight is lost to evaporating H2O and other gases but as usual, there are mitigating factors.

Nice looking buds, PW!

I haven't grown sativa for years and had no plans to grow it until a friend returned from her home in the Rif mtns of Morocco and laid a few seeds on me. I planted 2 seeds and have two healthy plants (one male and one female) in veg ATM. Moroccan growing/harvesting methods haven't changed much over the past 1,000 years (the growers tend to be a conservative lot), they primarily grow for hash, but I have a special place in my heart for the country and am looking forward to seeing where I can take my unexpected gift through breeding.

Sorry for the detour ^ The pics of your beautiful buds inspired me. Thanks for sharing some of the nuances that I might be looking at w/ a sativa grow.
