Growing Tips for Our Seeds

Ace of Spades grows well in the hands of first-time or novice growers. The strain actually grows better indoors than outdoors and produces a higher yield indoors. If you can grow this strain in climates similar to that of the Mediterranean, then you should have no trouble bringing it to fruition. Plenty of light and air will benefit this grow greatly as well as ample vertical space because the plants tend to grow super tall. You will also need lateral or horizontal space because of how bushy Ace of Spades grows and because of the root system under the soil. The roots like to spread out and soak up as many nutrients as they can. The strain thrives in a wide temperature range, so it requires less work than other, high-maintenance strains.

Dial in Your Growing Conditions

• Indoor or Outdoor: Ace of Spades marijuana can be grown indoors and outdoors by novice growers. The desired temperature for this strain is between 60-90 degrees Fahrenheit. This strain requires 18-20 hours of light during the vegetative stage and a 12/12 light cycle to induce the flowering stage. The same light cycle will help you reach harvest.
•  Moisture control: Humidity levels of approximately 60-80% during the vegetative phase, gradually decreasing to 60% or slightly lower during the flowering stage. This change in humidity will help keep mold and bud rot off of your plants.
• Training Techniques: Topping this strain and Low-stress training (LST) will ultimately increase your yields by allowing the entire plant to receive light and air from top to bottom.

Yields, Flowering Time, and Harvest

• Flowering Time: Growing indoors, you can expect the Ace of Spades strain to harvest after a short flowering period of 55-65 days. If you are growing outside, then you can expect flowering to occur in the middle of October.
• Yields: While Indoor yields are around 600 grams per square meter, outdoor grows typically produce up to 500 grams per plant. Either way, indoors or outdoors, you are going to go home with a hefty yield on your hands. Employing the correct training methods will help you reach these desired yields.

Dominant Cannabinoids in Ace of Spades:

Cannabinoids play an important role in Ace of Spades seeds and are generally a huge part of most strains of cannabis. That relaxed, euphoric, and sleepy feeling you get when enjoying the Ace of Spades strain is due to its dominant cannabinoids. Each cannabinoid does something different to the user.

• THC: The Main Character – THC is the most dominant cannabinoid on the molecular level of this strain. The crystalline compound tetrahydrocannabinol is the main ingredient of cannabis. Topping out at 20%, the THC in this Indica-dominant strain is responsible for the euphoric and relaxed feeling you get when enjoying Ace of Spades cannabis.
• CBD: Very Minimal Amounts – While the CBD levels in Ace of Spades are around 1%, the cannabinoid is still present, and the effects are noticeable in this strain. CBD plays a smaller role in what the strain does to the user. CBD is non-psychoactive and can produce effects that help with anxiety, sleep, pain, and even stress. The CBD in the Ace of Spades strain, even in its lower amounts, definitely has a positive effect on the user.
