It varies based on the water content of your fruits. If you mist a lot during the final stages of fruiting or pick late they will contain more water and lose more weight when dry.

The 90% thing is just an approximation but usually pretty spot on. Of course the bulk of the weight is water so if they were particularly wet that can happen.

Ive also had some very dense fruits that dry to much more weight than normal, and some very hollow ones that go less

:whyyy: dude math... It's like 93-94% not 200% you can't lose more than 100%.... Holy shit American schools.

That's well within acceptable range. 85-95% about 90% water usually

55-2.8= 51.2
51.2/55= not 200%

10dry 100wet = 90%
5dry 100wet =180 rite?

Aside from making OP feel bad about his elementary school pre algebra quiz 93% is totally normal

Yes I have seen a lot of variance in dry weights. 90% is a very ballpark figure.

:laugh: I understand its actually not 200% but what I wanted to say is that normally you would divide your fresh harvest by 10 and you'll get dry weight, right?
So in my case it's:

55 / x = 2.8
x = 19.6 instead of 10

Sorry for percent nonsense btw, the problem is that i got only half of that 90% :smile:

Hope you understand what I mean

Yeah its normal. I've had 2000 gram harvests dry out to 160 grams and I've had 80 gram fruits dry out to 10.5. 90% is just a ball park figure.

100g should endup up being about 7-13 dry. Usually it's more like 7-10 though. As they're usually 90+

Thanks for answers, I was just curious, my first grow and as I understood, 90% water was the highest water concentration in fruits... Little bit sad but still ok :laugh:

if 55g wet  =  100 of shrmz%
then 2.8g  =  5.09% total weight retention


5.09  =  100% of dried shro%
55 orig start 1080% loss from Orig not 200%.

Thy do just shrivel up don't they :laugh:

Sounds legit.

Muda what me? The calculations are as follows


55g of wet un dried shroom is what your stared with that is equal to 100%

Then you dreid your 55g to 2.8

55g=100%
Then you dry them and calculate again

2.8g after drying. Then you just cross multiply/

2.8 multiplied be 100 divided by 55



so if 55g is 100%
then  2.8g is 5.09%

a 94.91% loss in water weight
