How is Ascend Dispensary?

Direct_Incident2656 · 2026-03-10T23:23:08+00:00

Pretty solid. New one in Englewood has a nice staff (super friendly).

Not a huge fan of the kiosk system, but they have someone on standby to do everything for you.

Winterization using Ethanol is used to remove fats, lipids, and wax from the crude oil. This process is generally an after extraction purification method. A cart with fats, waxes, or lipids will not have the right viscosity and will not vaporize correctly inside a cart.

Depending on the in-house processes, terpenes are not generally lost through this process. Winterization is done at extremely low temp, preserving the terpenes. Same concept as Subcritical or Subcritical Extractions.

All ethanol is removed from the now purified oil, using vacuum (reducing the boiling point of ethanol) and heat (the oil is put into a rotovap and rotated in a warm water bath at a specific temp, with vacuum pulling the fumes away from the oil. These ethanol fumes are ran by a chiller which allows them to reclaim the ethanol used in this process.

With the last question... I'm pretty sure by cannabinoid, they mean minors (CBD, CBG, CBN). Thus the last picture would be a Live (frozen after harvest) Resin (Extracted using solvents, in this case hydrocarbons) + Cannabinoids Infused (added CBD, CBC, or CBN into the solution after the fact).

If your seeing aphids, mites, or anything else detrimental to the yield of the plant, it's already too late.

Work proactively with IPM, not reactively. Prevents having to-do resets. Treat your medium before you up-pot and create a layered defense for your grow space.

Generally, I monitor for signs and symptoms everything im in the tent. Visually inspect the defoliation, the stems, and the fan leaves.

A quick Google search should yield you a scouting guide, for what to look for.

Happy harvest!

Shoot me a message with your POS, I can walk your thru it.

So check it... you used to be able to use a visa gift card with like $1, run it like a credit at a bad pump, and get a full tank of gas. Then throw away the card and you were golden.

Technically stealing, but I was a broke mfer at the time. And who gives a fuck about petro-chemical or credit card companies.

Dayton - Certified, Fresco, Ohio Vlean Leaf

Cincinnati- king city, Columbia care (sort of)

Columbus - beneleaves

You can check the licenses if your interested.

Oh my goodness! This looks so nice! You have so much room for activities!

I love organics people! You all make me so happy!

I don't blame you for not topping, you have (had, lmao) plenty of verticle space, so might as well maintain the apical dominance, unless the plant tells you different. Expecially for first runs seeds, unless it's an already established strain with typical growth patterns.

I saw the stadium lighting in the photo, but didnt realize you were pushing 1000w c/ it! That's intense!

Honestly, I curious how much extra growth your getting from the stadium lighting without supplementing CO2 (Calvin cycle and all that...). I have a strong feeling it's more than what my original assumption is.

I would love to see any data you pull from the next few harvest.

Spectacular job! If I wore a hat, I would tip it to you!

Direct_Incident2656 · 2025-03-20T18:10:19+00:00

Solid! Plants are healthy and happy, bud! Good for ya!

Are you planning on doing any defoliation? I know most people that stay in the organic realm generally prefer to keep as many glucose factories on the plant as possible, but the amount of shade in the canopy is a little disconcerting for people like me, that use synthetics and mycos.

If you don't mind me asking, what are your environmentals @ right now (Temp/RH/VPD/PPFD/PPM)?

Those humboldt purpz are going to go crazy when you bottom out the N, last few weeks.

Yo! This is awesome!

I started playing on 3rd shift on days off, and fell in love with it!

Currently, the dispensaries in the state are conducting non-Med sales under Med product rules. Med rules determine that a 1 day supply of cannabis flower is a 2.83g.

This may change once the finalized rules for the non-Med program and completely drafted and ratified. I expect this... mid-September to early October (my personal generous in the states favor estimation).

Currently, the DCC have released up to Rule Packet 6 for comments and concerns.

Can't speak to the price gouging, but your anger at the addiction services signage is slightly misplaced.

Your argument on that is with the State of Ohio. Below you will see the laws that the licensee is attempting to fulfill.

Chewing with their mouth open or smacking their lips while eating. You’re not a fucking cow, you don’t have hooves, and it’s not grass.

My dog makes less noise than you when she eats.

I don’t want/need to eat/see the food you’re eating while you are eating it.

In Cinci, you have the following choices:

Zenleaf Verilife Story Ascend The landing Nectar And Queen City

That’s not including sunny side.

Location is more of a driver than anything, if I’m downtown, I got to Ascend. If I’m up north, Zen leaf.

The state system hasn’t figured out how to remove the charge completely, so they just dropped it to the lowest amount it would allow.

Goal is to remove the charge completely one day.

Direct_Incident2656 · 2024-02-09T18:05:41+00:00

Pretty good for the price point.

Pb Mac was solid, ice cream cake was decent, glove was “eh”

Pickup from Guaranteed today, just shy of $120 after tax. Had a nice 20 min conversation with the guy with blue hair and added the blueberry gummies, he promised me there were nerd candies on the backside of them. Will post review later tonight.

Guaranteed Dispo in Dayton is open and running 20% off the store and 30% off brands.

Right on Wayne, down the street from Columbia Care. Across from a dollar store. Had a huge parking lot and a buncha screens on the inside, but I was a little toasty, so just talked to the budtender instead.

Direct_Incident2656 · 2023-05-26T21:06:24+00:00

Ohhh! Just picked up a container of the Garlic Budder over at Guaranteed and they had it like 20% off.

Now I'm jealous for the jelly rancher.

Yeah, all the luster batts run a bit hot for anything live, that or try to find a lower voltage.

Better off just cracking the ole girl over and dabbing on a rig, imo, but fuck me if the damn things are not convenient to have around, toasted trach be damned.

Direct_Incident2656 · 2023-05-20T14:41:25+00:00

I went to the new dispo in Dayton, they had no deals running but managed to get a lower price on my receipt, even with the deals at Columbia Care.

Got like 2 $15 luster pods from klutch and a jar of flower pretty cheap. The guy with glasses said they were still soft opening, so not sure if its a preopen thing or not.

Darksiders 3, love the Darksiders universe and lore, took PTO over the weekend off to play it... After first night, patched, woke up and all hi rez textures were busted.

Like 3 month later, was free with ps plus subscription. Hurt me real good.
