Okay, I've been having some fun with numbers to figure out the humidity post chop.
You're a numbers guy @Shane Karmann so you might find this interesting.
Two Plants hang dried in the same space at the same temps & conditions.
Harlequin:
Hang dried for 7 days
Internal branch moisture meter reading of 18%
Trimmed & jarred same day
Internal Humidity in jar 24 hr after trim - 47%
G13:
Hang dried 10 days
Internal branch moisture meter reading of 29%
Trimmed & jarred same day
Internal humidity in jar 24 hr after trim - 61%
So what have we gleaned from this? Well, for one, if a process calls for 11% branch moisture (lookin' at you grove bags), that is gonna be dust.
With four plants still to be chopped, I’m glad I’m looking at the math, because it doesn’t math.

Bookmarked. Interesting.

That’s the conundrum, there isn’t really a definitive conclusion.What conclusions have you made? How will you adjust for next round? My mind would imagine there are variables not being considered in play here and I would fret over it until they are alljarredsmoked.
The variables off the top would be the plants themselves. Different strains and compositions will account for some variance naturally I’d imagine. Bud structure, density etc.
That said, the G13 was a much smaller plant so that could be a contributing factor.
For the next four plants, I guess I’ll start taking wood meter readings at day 4-5 of the dry. Hell, I could also ditch the meter and just go back to the ‘ol 7 day dry, trim & jar.
The consistency of the inconsistency is frustrating.

Alrighty, tomorrow is chop day.
Possibly the purple-iest? plants I’ve grown.
Mission is to not fuck this dry up. With flower like this, it’d break my spirit.
All are Twenty20 Mendocino except for the ‘ol @Laughing Grass GG#4

With not needing to pop any beans for a few years, I find myself exhibiting the exuberance of a total NOOB at the appearance of the first set of fans. And I also get to answer that total NOOB question too ...
... about a pound.
What a difference 11 days makes.

264 little hours ...
brought them closer to flower ...
that lovely green strain.
Day late
Oh my frosty, like it snowed on them!
