I'm thinking 2 oz for about a week for a red ipa. Itd'd be 1 oz CTZ and 1 oz of falconers pellets
What about you guys?

I have 1oz of whole citra hops I'm thinking about dry hopping an imperial IPA with. Any thoughts, experience with citra as a dry hop?
usually do 1-2oz in a PA, 2-4oz in an IPA, 3-6oz in a IIPA

+1 Yeah, go for 2oz or more to smell like the prosI think anything under 2oz is a waste of time for an American style beer.

do it, dry hopping is one of its best uses. it has a tropical fruit like aroma. are you dry hopping with anything else? 1oz is pretty lite for a IIPA

Nobody mentioned whether you're using whole or pellets. What's the general concensus here. Would 2-3 oz of whole pellets in a 5 gallon batch cause much more of a loss in the final product due to absorption/increased trub?
Just to offer a rebuttal, I brewed a pretty basic American Pale Ale with leftover ingredients. It came out fine but not complex at all.
I tossed just a half ounce of whole cascade in for a week, and it definitely added a nice nose to the beer, and a bit of flavor, without being aggressive.
That's what I was after, so it wasn't really a waste
