I take my buds from the drying rack and put them in a yard waste bag when they're around 65-70%rh. Let everything equalize for a day or two then move it into grove bags.

Check it.
This is my evolved method over the years for taking down allot of bud(indoors)
Chop plant down. Chop into hangable sections. A paid friend plucks fan leaves. Hang onto string lines. When close to done, after about 5 days in 68-70F 55% humidity, we take them down and into bins they go keeping an eye on them in case they need burped.
I usually have scissors put to them about a week later.

they cured in the totes.

Heading out for #2 ... then the sack, shall I hit.

And hopefully the coyotes are still howling in the forests. While out for #1, I could hear a few on the left side of the lake yelping with a few on the right side of the lake. A few of the indoor neighborhood dogs were answering back too.

You can hear a lot of the world around you when there is no city noise.

I use a trimming machine. Unfortunately it doesn't work well with dry weed and you have to take the buds off the sticks.

Based on what I’ve observed (and please correct me, I admire your process hence my ask)
Rough Wet trim and de-stick
Bowl Trimmer tumble
Mesh rack dry
Paper bag dry additional few days
Grove bag to finish

About right?

That's it, except the rough wet trim.

One of us will cut the branches and pull the fan leaves by hand
The other will pop the buds off the branches

I forgot about that :oops:

Not talking shit about wet trimming again but i can't imagine going back to the way i used to do it years back(wet). I want that shit chopped down and out of the bloom room asap so the next round can go in it’s place. It’s why i always have a pretty good size veg room for the bloom room/s it supports. Another benefit of dry trimming, nose being the #1, is once it’s in bins we can trim it whenever we want vs. having to do it all right when chopping down.
Not trying to change your way. If it works it works :-)

Wet hand trimming was brutal! Took all day to chop a few plants. I don't think we could do it in one day with the higher plant count I'm running now. I need more room. I have to dry in my flower tent so I'm down for a week between grows. Having my veg tent has sped that up, but still. I chopped three weeks ago and I flipped the current bbb crop into flower last night.

Do you leave your weed in the tote for long term storage?

I do something similar to her but I don't want a bunch of pot hanging about it's too much work and I prefer the intense terps of a live process. I pull fan leaves, cut off nuggs, turn on the trimmer and slowly pour my buds into the electric trimmer. Let them roll about for a few minutes, open the chute and out they come and into the freeze dryer, 36-48 hours later my pot is done and sealed in bags.

I'm considering moving to CO2 trimming but so far it's amazingly good.
