Ace of Spades
Also known as: Ace Of Spades
Overview
Ace of Spades is an indica-dominant hybrid cannabis strain created by TGA Subcool Seeds through the crossing of Black Cherry Soda and Jack the Ripper. Originally developed to take advantage of the popular sweet and sour flavor combination, this strain exhibits a 30% sativa and 70% indica genetic ratio. The strain is renowned for its distinctive appearance, featuring colorful buds with vibrant hues of purple, blue, and pink, all covered in bright orange pistils and a generous coating of crystalline trichomes. Ace of Spades has gained significant recognition in the cannabis community for its balanced effects and exceptional terpene profile, combining the citrusy euphoria from its Jack the Ripper parent with the rich, fruity vibrancy inherited from Black Cherry Soda. The strain produces dense, heavy flowers with an earthy berry and citrus aroma that translates into distinctly lemony flavors with sweet and sour notes. This cultivar has become particularly valued among both recreational and medicinal users for its ability to provide relaxation without overwhelming sedation, making it suitable for evening use while still maintaining functional clarity.
