Ace of Spades is a modern hybrid-indica variety developed through the breeding of the parent strain Jack The Ripper. This plant is suitable for cultivation in both indoor and outdoor environments, offering a high yield for growers who possess moderate experience. Maturing relatively quickly, the strain typically completes its flowering phase within 56 days.
The terpene profile is dominated by myrcene, followed by caryophyllene and pinene, which collectively shape its sensory identity. These compounds contribute to the specific aromatic and flavor profile associated with the strain, balancing earthy, spicy, and sharp notes derived from this particular chemical hierarchy.
Users often report that Ace of Spades produces effects characterized by a sense of calm, relaxation, and mental focus. These qualities make the strain a common choice for individuals seeking support with pain, stress, and sleep. The influence of its genetics extends to a notable list of offspring, including Black Cherry Soda, Gumball Assassin, Panty Shot, Snow City, and The Kragle.
