Hey
I hope I'm posting in the correct place, please assist if not. I'm in Cape Town, South Africa, my first time growing,first flush and harves, Cubensis Puerta Rican, nice dense shrooms. Could I get a rough estimate on wet and dry weight please?
First image is dried and 2nd and third are just after harvesting.
Thanks

There is really no way to tell what the weight is from a picture.
You could make some sort of counterbalance scale, or just spend a few bucks on one.
If you just want a guess I'll say 4.7 grams, or enough for 4 people to get a buzz or 2 people could get high or one person could possibly trip face.
Nobody can say I don't deliver.

^lol all I can say, those mushrooms do not look "cracker dry", so even if you weighed them with a scale you'd still have no idea.

they clearly are not cracker dry in the "dried picture" so like said above the weight doesn't even matter it won't be correct

Those aren't dried yet. If they are still squishy, they are losing potency. You need to be able to crumble them into a powder with your hands (if you were so inclined)

Kitchen scales don't cut it. They don't weigh fine enough. You want a scale that will weigh in the 10ths, if not 100ths, and that doesn't have a minimum weight before it triggers (some kitchen scales need *grams* just to kick start them. There are lots of pocket size scales that will do the job for you. Check some of the head shops. See the scale in my sig.

yeah man, I never feel like the difference between 2.7 and 2.9 is worth needing that extra decimal point a kitchen scale is fine for shrooms, but if you're like most of us and dabble in other extracurricular activites a good scale is a nice thing to have around.

A prime example came up only a short while ago. Friend and I splitting ~6 g. dried. Wanted to be dead on with the weight so we got an even split. Tried friend's kitchen scale. It weighs in 10ths but had a minimum 10 g load to start it. We ended up using teaspoons and 1 for you 1 for me tek. And, as pointed out, the pocket scale is utilitarian and very portable.

maybe your scale is telling you to eat more 
but seriously you wouldn't recommend a pipette for sharing a cup a tea?
I have a kitchen scale that's +/- 2g but I dont bother using it.

If it were just me, I'd normally eyeball it. Or if that had been the situation and it was just me, eat the whole lot and keep a couple of phatties handy.

I have no idea what an eighth looks like cause the density of the fruit will change what you think it might weigh by looking at it. APE or KSSS fruits tend look a lot less than what they often weigh out to, I would be very hesitant to tell someone to just eyeball those.

Those fruits are definitely not cracker dry either.

I was just going to say the exact same thing. Also, weights vary due to fruiting conditions. An isolate will fruit more hollow stems when fruited in warmer conditions than others from the same isolate that where grown in cooler conditions.
Also, throwing this out there... IF you were able to weigh the fresh picked shrooms, then you can bet that when FULLY dried, it will weigh 1/10th of what it DID weigh. Fun fact.

It's even tricky sometimes with single big fruits to tell. Even with scale material to assist.

 These are all over eBay for 12$ shipped, some of the best scales I've ever had especially for the price.

I just think its hilarious that most of these people dont know what a quarter oz of shrooms looks like. Maybe our friend will get a scale and tell us what it weighs. Just 4 fun

How could you possibly tell how dense a mushroom is by looking at a picture of it?

Why guess? Dry them all the way and get a scale. Either that or eat em all and damn the consequences. Buy the ticket, take the ride.

At any rate if the OP don't get them things dry all the way soon, it really won't matter how much he eats (or doesn't).

Broken clocks are right twice a day. Even Einstein got things wrong. The real issue of this thread is not the weight of some half dry fruits, it's why the fruits are only half dry.
