Ace Of Spades CBD
Black Cherry Soda × Jack the Ripper
Ace Of Spades Cbd is a hybrid cultivar that bridges classic West Coast genetics with modern cannabinoid breeding. Evolving from a THC-dominant ancestor, this version is selectively bred to offer a balanced profile, often featuring higher CBD levels while retaining the original strain's distinctive aromatic and flavor characteristics. It represents a shift towards functional cannabis, appealing to those seeking nuanced effects without intense psychoactivity.
Appearance
Ace Of Spades Cbd typically presents dense, spade-shaped buds with a high calyx-to-leaf ratio and abundant trichome coverage. The flowers often display deep green hues, sometimes accented with streaks of plum or violet, particularly if exposed to cooler temperatures late in the flowering cycle. Burnt-orange pistils are common, contrasting with the crystalline layer of trichomes.
Aroma & Flavor
The aroma of Ace Of Spades Cbd is complex, often described as a blend of candy-like citrus, sweet berry notes reminiscent of black cherry, and fresh pine. When broken apart or ground, brighter citrus and terpinolene-driven scents emerge, complemented by herbal undertones. The flavor profile closely mirrors the aroma, featuring prominent lemon candy and black cherry notes, with a backbone of pine and a subtle herbal finish.
Effects
This hybrid cultivar is generally associated with balanced effects, offering a sense of calm and clarity. It is often reported to promote creativity and provide an energetic uplift without significant overstimulation. The CBD-rich iterations are designed to temper the psychoactive intensity, making it suitable for daytime use.
Terpenes & Cannabinoids
While specific cannabinoid percentages can vary, Ace Of Spades Cbd is bred to have a notable CBD content alongside its THC. The terpene profile is often characterized by its complexity, with Myrcene, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, Terpinolene, and Ocimene frequently contributing to its distinctive aroma and effects. This combination can lead to a brighter, more effervescent bouquet compared to more common cultivars.
Origins & Lineage
Ace Of Spades Cbd is derived from the original Ace of Spades strain, a creation of Subcool of TGA Genetics. The foundational genetics combine Black Cherry Soda, known for its berry flavors and coloration, with Jack the Ripper, which contributes citrus notes and an energetic profile. CBD-rich versions are achieved through selective breeding, either by isolating naturally CBD-leaning phenotypes or by crossing with established CBD-dominant strains like ACDC or Cannatonic.
Growing Characteristics
Ace Of Spades Cbd plants are typically medium in height with branching that responds well to training techniques. They develop dense, resinous buds with good trichome production, making them suitable for extractors. Yields are competitive, with indoor grows potentially producing 450-600 g/m² and outdoor plants reaching 500-800 g per plant under optimal conditions. The flowering period is generally consistent with hybrid strains.
