Hi Soltan

Did the weight test for you

I filled a 200mm pot with 5-7mm size Maidenwell. Dry it weighed 1.2kg ( excluding the pot). After Watering weel till it ran clear and all the dust had been removed I waited till it stoppe running and then weighed again.

finished weight was 2.4Kg
so it absorbed its own weight in water.
