It is a retro fit unit installed in the HVAC system producing Hydrogen Peroxide 27/7. killing and preventing most indoor pollutants and cantaminants on surfaces and in the air.
Sweet! Well this is a great place to get your feet wet, so to speak, in the cannabis industry. There are many welcoming and accommodating cannabis professionals here on GNET. Feel free to reach out to other @ServiceProviders, @EquipManufacturers, @EquipSuppliers, @mastergrowers, @growopowners, @Caregivers, and @GrowOpEmployees about their experiences with environmental controls, HVAC, and IPM , as your product fits into all these categories. This is a fantastic place to bounce your ideas off other industry professionals.
Howdy all. My name is Dave Aars, Sales Mgr here at Trimbag. Our product is a bag that is a collapsible, hand held dry trimmer that trims 1-2 pounds up to 90% complete within minutes. We sell direct and through many of the major Distributors in the game.
We joined the GNET to meet other folks in our industry and ultimately get the Trimbag to become more of a household name than it already is.
I look forward to chatting with anyone who handles, buys, or sells cannabis harvesting tools and equipment for this is one bad ass addition to your arsenal if you don’t have one or more of them already!
Hi! I’m Rebecca! I work with @allacespromotionalstaffing which is an award-winning event staffing company and a certified woman owned business enterprise. We are dedicated to handling logistics, easing stress and enabling memorable brand experiences at conferences, trade shows and other events, including outside experiential marketing campaigns (street teams, truck tours etc). I’m excited to connect with caregivers, growers and cannabis business owners as well as anyone looking to present their expertise and services to the industry (lawyers, insurance agents, anyone)
On a personal note I’m a consumer of medical hemp and cannabis products, have worked on farms and have written articles and blog posts about my experiences. I’m most passionate about helping cannabis professionals, because it’s not only a rising industry with delicate legal and social concerns, but a time for natural medicine and its research to be accessible to those who can benefit on varying levels. Please ask me anything you’d like about my personal or professional background, and I look forward to meeting all of you!
Rebecca! So glad to have All Aces on the network. I am looking forward to getting your colleague Lauren started as well. It was really a pleasure to talk to Lauren about the great work All Aces is doing. Folks, this is a multiple award winning team based out of NYC.
I want to draw special attention to a couple services that All Aces does that are of special interest to cannabis companies.
(1) All Aces has a stellar trade show booth staffing program. So, @EquipManufacturers and @EquipSuppliers, if you ever can’t hit a trade show yourselves, consider letting @rebecca and Lauren take care of it for you.
(2) There are special difficulties (legally and culturally) in marketing anything related to cannabis. Rebecca and Lauren are experts at innovative marketing. Experiential marketing is huge in other industries and is extremely promising for the cannabis industry. Consider speaking with All Aces about their work on guerilla marketing in particular. This is a family of next-level marketing strategies–potentially the difference maker between being on top when the dust settles.
@rebecca I would love to see a Spotlight article on how these marketing techniques work and the value they could bring to owners of cannabis-related businesses. Let me know if that’s something you would be interested in getting going!
Hey @rebecca! What a great intro and bio! It’s great to have such dedicated, professional, and passionate individuals here on GNET! Thanks for mentioning that All Aces is a women-owned business. Many people don’t realize that the majority of cannabis businesses in AZ are women-owned. This innovative industry has a strong female presence and women make up a driving force in Cannabis. Is your group affiliated with WomenGrow?
It does sound right! Consider how many sleepless nights and stressful days you eliminate by having someone in your corner, protecting what you are working so hard for!
Thanks for your message and the lovely introduction! I’m happy to be in this community and appreciate you highlighting our signature services There are so many opportunities for dynamic experiential marketing and I’ll gladly do an article!

Guys, don’t let the name fool you: WomenGrow events are very inclusive and are aimed at empowering EVERYBODY! I sometimes attend the Phoenix WomenGrow and I always come away from the event with more knowledge in my head, new friends and connections, and sometimes a fun swag bag!
I would love to get WomenGrow on GNET…has anyone else here ever attended a WomenGrow event? What was your takeaway?
My partner who is female introduced me to them a while back. I love their YouTube channel! Absolutely informative and plan on attending events in the future for sure! WomanGrow is a great resource, no matter how you identify.

Hello everyone,
I am currently an assistant manager for a small dispensary called Ganja Gourmet, Ive been in the industry since 2016. Even though I am new in the Industry I would like to hopefully in the future start my own concentrate business in the next 3-5 year. Yes it is going to be a lot of planning and work needed to make this dream a reality but I am willing to do what it takes. With the help of this community I believe that this goal is attainable. Thank your for your time and knowledge and I look forward to comunicating with all of you.
