Ace
Also known as: Ace of Spades, Ace OG
Ace Strain Overview
Ace is a balanced hybrid cannabis strain that has gained recognition for its reliable effects and distinctive flavor profile. The strain's exact origins are somewhat debated within cannabis communities, but most sources trace it to a cross between Jack the Ripper and Space Queen, developed by breeders seeking to combine the cerebral stimulation of sativa genetics with the physical relaxation of indica varieties. This genetic combination has resulted in a strain that offers a well-rounded experience appreciated by both recreational and medicinal users.
Visually, Ace plants typically produce medium-sized, dense buds with a conical structure. The flowers exhibit a vibrant green coloration often accented by deep purple hues, particularly when exposed to cooler temperatures during cultivation. A generous coating of trichomes gives the buds a frosty appearance, while orange pistils provide visual contrast. The strain's aroma is complex, blending earthy base notes with citrus undertones and a subtle diesel-like sharpness that becomes more pronounced when the buds are broken apart.
Ace has maintained consistent popularity due to its predictable effects and moderate growth requirements. The strain is known for producing a clear-headed, uplifting cerebral effect that gradually transitions into gentle physical relaxation without causing excessive sedation. This balanced nature makes it suitable for daytime or evening use, depending on individual tolerance and dosage. While not as widely documented as some mainstream commercial strains, Ace has developed a dedicated following among connoisseurs who appreciate its reliable performance and nuanced characteristics.

Ace Strain Growing Information
Ace is considered a moderately difficult strain to cultivate, suitable for growers with some experience. The plants typically flower in 8-10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests ready in late September to early October. Indoor yields average 400-500 grams per square meter, while outdoor plants can produce 500-600 grams per plant under optimal conditions. Ace prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outdoors and responds well to both soil and hydroponic systems indoors. Plants tend to stay at a manageable height of 100-150 cm indoors but can reach 180-200 cm outdoors. Special considerations include maintaining stable temperatures and humidity levels, as the dense buds can be susceptible to mold in overly humid conditions. The strain benefits from training techniques like topping and low-stress training to maximize yield and light penetration.
