THE GREEN ACE - Pink Cookies, Pink Tuna, Blue Cheese, Death Star & Purple Dream
A Note to Readers: This is only my second or third review, so please bear with me as I learn what the community prefers in a solid review. I have noticed a lot of bilingual and/or Francophone folks in the community, so I thought for the sake of brevity and ease of comprehension I’d try bullet points on static topics.. Hope that’s cool! Comments and constructive criticisms most welcome, thanks guys/gals. :)
MOM Name
The Green Ace
Overall rating out of 10:
9/10
Sign Up:
The sign up here is easy, same as most places, fill out the form, provide the deets and you’re all set.
Ordering & Pricing:
Ordering is a snap, again same as most places, pick your gear, checkout, give them your hard earned dollars, wait a while, get high. Pricing is really good for the quality I find. Though this is my first order with Green Ace, it won’t be my last, I found some of these strains easily as good as the most recent batches of Forum Cut Girl Scout Cookies and Death Bubba from Coastal Wildfire, better in some cases.
Communication:
Not a ton of communication from my end on this one, but I did send a quick few questions by email and they were answered quickly and professionally.
Packaging:
Discreet: shipping box, inside was a sealed bag containing the goodies.. No stink. Not excessive either, which is nice to see… too much garbage with some MOMs.
Products / Photos:
Blue Cheese:

--Nose/Flavour: Smells like a sweet cheese, taste is similar.
--High potency, craftish: could feel the effects pretty much immediately, and the lift was long lasting.
--Trim/Cure: Really nice trim and cure. Fresh and sticky. Slightly looser to the core than some of the other strains I got, but really nice overall.
--Lift/Buzz: Hybrid stone: great head and body buzz, not too heavy or sleepy, good for day use (but maybe a bit strong for work, lol)
--Potency/Quality: GA rates this at AAA+, and IMO that is conservative, I think this is closer to a quad. I got the droopy dopey eyes like I used to get in high school off this bud, and that practically never happens anymore. It’s good strong bud with a long lasting lift.
--Vapour Quality: Smooth criminal.. Really.
--Overall: Enjoyed this buzz the best of the indica varities, not that it was the strongest, the pink tuna was probably strongest, but this one had a stone that I just loved.
--#3 in rank from this order, reorder consideration.
9/10
Purple Dream:

--NOTE: Bud is actually quite purple, not a great photo; apologies.
--Nose/Flavour: Fairly strong sweetish/gassy aroma and flavour.
--Trim/Cure: Excellent, damn near perfect. Stellar squish and bounce, tight trim, sticky and fresh.
--Potency/Quality: Mid to High, AAA+. Fairly long lasting effects. Gorgeous bulbous buds coated in ice.
--Lift/Buzz: Hybrid lift: more heady than the Blue Cheese, slightly more sativa leaning. Prefered the indica dominance of the blue cheese in terms of hybrids, but this would be a good day weed.
--Vapour Quality: Nice and smooth, no hiccups.
--Overall: Price is good for the quality.
8/10
Pink Cookies (a.k.a Wedding Cake):
https://i.imgur.com/QzruDW3.jpg
--Crossbreed of Girl Scout Cookies and Cherrie Pie.. EXCITE!
--Nose/Flavour: Initially perfumey nose, becoming very gassy when busted open, stinks up a room!
--Trim/Cure: Freshness was damn close to CWF’s Death Bubba, not QUITE as sticky. Superb cure and sticky all over. Tight buds, great trim.
--Potency/Quality: Effects came on after only a single puff and the lift lasted a long time from an 0.1g bowl in a Dynavap. Very potent, very intoxicating. DO NOT DRIVE after consuming. :)
-Lift/Buzz: Experienced a very deep relaxed state, not exactly sleepy, but very floaty and carefree.
--Vapour Quality: Difficult to describe, almost creamy/gassy flavour; astoundingly smooth in a vaporizer.
--Overall: Top-Shelf Craft-Level Quad.
#2 in rank from this order, high chance of reorder.
9/10
Pink Tuna:
https://i.imgur.com/l66Sj5M.jpg
--Crossbreed of Pink and Tuna kushes, ultra kushy spectacularity.
--Nose/Flavour: fiery gassy/diesely stink that is almost overwhelming, like licking a fuel nozzle.
--Trim/Cure: outstanding champion-level; sticky, fresh, tight, icey.
--Potency/Quality: Do not give this to pets or newb friends, they will die/cry.
--Lift/Buzz: Effects hit immediately off one puff, and demolished my very soul after an entire 0.1g bowl in the Dynavap. Very strong, knocked me flat.
--Vapour Quality: Little bit harsh to vape, probably due to high potency.
--Overall: Top-Shelf Craft-Level Quad. Closest to a 10 I’ve tried in a long while, better (IMO) than the recent batches of Death Bubba and FCGSC from CWF.
--#1 in rank from this order, definite reorder.
9.5/10
Death Star:
https://i.imgur.com/PiYsiET.jpg
--YAY FREE STUFF! Got this gorgeous 1.3g nug as a freebie, thanks GA!
--Nose/Flavour: Very gassy, sort of subtle at first, then explodes when busted.
--Trim/Cure: superb, very dense and sticky, fresh bud. Lovely stuff.
--Potency/Quality: Mid to High, AAA+ probably. On sale and priced very competitively for the quality.
--Lift/Buzz: Good strong indica body stone, tingly head high, fairly long lasting.
--Vapour Quality: Tad harsh, but not unbearable.
--Overall: For the sale price, the DS is a steal, I am considering buying more of this. It’s a very nice quality bud, with a really relaxing mind and body stone.
8.5/10
Incentive for Customers:
Limited time 15% off all orders, free 3.5g with 1st order, referral program, free ship over $200. Really nice flowers, more high end than some places, and for the “chronnoisseur” that’s definitely an incentive.
**Update** GA dropped their ounce pricing as of today!
Incentive for Review:
Nope. Got a really nice free sample of Death Star with my order though, so I felt like a review was the least I could do.
Notes:
I chose Green Ace based on a couple reviews I read recently, and while I wasn’t expecting to be blown away, I kind of was. I tried to grab a few price points without dipping too low (high tolerance, waste of money), and I was highly impressed with the quality above AAA. It’s taken a while to learn it, but I now know that you really get what you pay for in the cannabis world, like anything I suppose, however, Green Ace has some pretty solid, high-end bud that is priced really competitively, and some mid to high-mid level bud, that is a bit of a steal in some cases. Definitely will be reordering GA buds.
