 no wet weight doesn't matter. I like to weigh it but i cut the buds from the stems and trim before i dry.  it just gives me an approximation of what the buds weigh when dry. 

if your hanging the whole plant then just weigh the buds when they are dry.

@smokeymcpot No stupid questions, mate -- we are here to learn, right?

If I want wet weight at harvest time, I just zero a big but light plastic mixing bowl on my scale. Some people use the wet/dry weight to help determine dry-time when a large, tagged cola gets to about 25-30% of its weight when it was wet.  I use the stem snap method instead, and weigh it all after drying and before curing.

I only weigh wet if I want to cry at how much weight is lost during the dry period lol. It's really just a way to measure your yield and as others have mentioned help determine when you should be putting the buds in jars for the cure. Again as others have mentioned a plastic bowl tared out on a scale is the easiest method.  

I feel like a, like a slice of butter... melting on top of a big-ol' pile of flapjacks... yeah.

Hi mate.

I'm in total agreement with twisted and bubble 

It can be a bit of a shocker when crop a huge big bud  and it's drys to a not so huge bud lol be prepared x

Drying and curing is as important as your grow, dry slowly and a good cure is at least 3 months .

Happy to help , no such thing as a stupid question 

Best wishes

Early on it’s difficult to wait for the 3 month cure. After a few runs you will probably have a small stash built up and that 3 month cure becomes easy. Right now I’ve got buds that are anywhere from 15 months to 3 months cured in the cupboard and nothing growing for buds. After a while you can begin to accumulate quite a bit of buds. Keep at it and you’ll reach that curing time eventually. BTW, my favorite curing is in the 4-6 month but longer is good too.
