About Ace of Spades
Ace of Spades is a hybrid that crosses Black Cherry Soda with Jack the Ripper. It was bred by TGA Subcool Seeds and is known for its dark, striking color. It has been found on dispensary menus in several US legal markets, where fans of TGA genetics seek it out.
The aroma is sweet and fruity, with dark cherry notes and a light piney, spicy finish. Buds are usually dense and often turn deep purple to nearly black, with bright orange hairs and a sticky layer of trichomes. Myrcene often adds a ripe, musky sweetness, caryophyllene can bring a peppery depth, and limonene may give the fruit a brighter edge.
Ace of Spades is commonly described as happy, euphoric and creative. Many people find it flexible enough for an upbeat afternoon or a relaxed evening with friends. THC usually ranges from 16% to 22%, with little CBD.
Its balanced profile and moderate potency can suit both newer and experienced consumers who like colorful, fruity hybrids. Start low, go slow, and check the lab results on the package before you buy. Use WhereLeaf to find Ace of Spades at licensed dispensaries and delivery services near you.
