General Notes:
To their credit, The Green Ace seems to hand select very high quality cannabis. I had a hard time finding anything in these samples that wasnāt at least approaching a quad. The cure of the cannabis in general is some of the best I have ever had over many strains from a single MOM, and I was highly impressed by it. It might seem as though these ratings are inflated, with so many 5ās and 5+ās, but the bar for quads is continually pushed higher, and I may have to start dishing out cinques. The Green Ace really challenged and reformed my notion of what high end cannabis can be.
Pink Kush: Indica-Dominant Hybrid

Folks who read my reviews know this is one of my personal favourites and always a welcome addition to my cannabinoid receptors. Iām always excited to see how each MOMs Pink Kush stacks up, and The Green Aceās is some of the nicest Pink Kush I have had in some time, and that includes from local dispensaries prior to shutting down. It has the same brilliant cure that the Romulan strain has, and working with it for the purpose of vaporization is a cinch. You can tell your Pink Kush is high quality when itās typically musty odour and flavour is fairly faint, which it is with this batch. Typically I find the vapour a bit harsh with Pink Kush, but this was the exception to that rule, I hardly coughed at all. The bud is dense and has the same quality cure that seems common among all of The Green Aceās strains. The quad nature of this Pink Kush is markedly apparent by the trichome varnish that coats its surface, and it boasts a vigorous body buzz, which is long lasting and not overly sedative--great evening bud! Overall, I loved this offering of the PK!
My Rating: 5/5
Pink Star: Indica

Geeze, G.A., way to send me the crappy buds (sarcasm). :P This bud is like a post-impressionist painting (think Van Gogh); it is painted at level of colour and beauty typically reserved for art. The resin that has sapped out of this primo nugget is so thick, the trichomes so dense, that it felt like I was getting cumulus clouds out of the vape for weeks. The vapour flavour and the bud aroma has a strong gassy/diesel quality--so strong, in fact, that there is a bit of a lingering aftertaste. The Green Ace isnāt mucking about when it comes to potency at the high end--this is strong, strong stuff--itāll get ya proper goof-balled. Like the Black Diamond (see Part I), I found this strain to have potent indica effects (strong body stone, very relaxed, etc), but didnāt have the heavy couch lock that the Tom Ford has (see below),--couch lock can be nice, but it's not very often that I want to feel paralyzed. Definitely not daytime weed, and probably not a socializing weed, this strain would be good for medical patients and chronic 'thing' sufferers. It might be a bit heavy for playing video games or really doing anything halfway functional, but it depends on your constitution. Good strong medicine, and a top-3 reorder consideration.
My Rating: 5/5
Romulan: Indica

I have no grow experience, but having sampled and reviewed over 40 different strains and grows lately, and I can honestly say I am beginning to understand what represents an expert-level cannabis cure. It breaks up very easily by hand, it does not crumble it just comes apart, it has a softish texture that is not moist, but not dry, it will immediately increase in aroma the second it is broken up, and when you pack it into a vape, it leaves natural gaps and neither falls out the end (too dry), nor squishes into a wad (too moist). Many (but not all) of The Green Aceās strains have this quality cure, and the Romulan might be the best of all--it was just a pleasure to work with and to vape.
The Romulan that The Green Ace provided me was highly intoxicating, its not quite like being drunk, but it will certainly throw your coordination off kilter, while also being extremely relaxing. I didnāt find that this grow of Romulan had quite the body-lock I am used to with this strain, it was perhaps harvested just prior to that stage, and I didnāt feel overly fatigued by it. The aroma of this Romulan was rather floral with a skunk tail to my nose. The amount of resin on this bud is reaching preposterous levels, it has the appearance of having been laminated in some spots--thereās little denying this is a quad! The buzz is a bit euphoric if daydreamy, and I melted into a chair for a time. Romulan remains a popular strain for a reason.
My Rating: 5/5
Skunky Diesel: Indica Dominant Hybrid

Some strains have extremely practical names that perfectly describe the aromatic qualities of the bud, and Skunky Diesel is certainly one of them. It reeks to high hell of its namesake, and the vapour quality is the same. Nothing better than opening a fresh bag of weed and having the smell overtake the room like a hovering ghoul. The skunky diesel bud is lithic--dense as stone, and seems to just keep breaking up, more and more and more! Like all of The Green Aceās strains, the Skunky Diesel bud is glazed-over with highly mature trichomes. Vape quality is fairly smooth, though not as silky as the Black Diamond (see Part I) seemed to be. The effects are heavily sedative--I wasnāt tired and it knocked me out for four hours, so donāt expect to get a lot done smoking this bud. Clearly, it would be welcome therapy for insomniacs, but would be good for pain relief as well. The high hits fast and lasts a good nap-length amount of time.
My Rating: 5/5
Strawberry Cheesecake: Indica Dominant Hybrid (70/30, according to Leafly)

https://i.imgur.com/Pj3hWvT.jpg
Iām glad I received one strain that does not live up to its namesake in aroma and flavour. While it is a sweeter smelling strain, and I might have even got a hint a vanilla, I donāt get strawberry cheesecake at all, in either the smell or flavour. The vapour was interestingly cool, and I have not experienced this sensation very often from cannabis. As far as The Green Aceās primo buds are concerned, this one is a little on the ugly side (a tad leafy), but itās lacking in sex appeal shouldnāt dissuade you from giving it a try. I found it has a primarily cerebral high, which I was not expecting from this strain given that it is indica-dominant, and might be due to the harvest time. Regardless, the potent, euphoric high was a welcome change from all the heavily sedative indicas that Green Ace provided me (I think they were trying to put me into a coma for two weeks). Not unlike the previous strains, the lackering of trichomes nearing the top of the bud is a thing of wonder, and just a pinch will keep you lifted for a good minute.
4.5/5
Tom Ford Pink: Indica

I have heard tell of this mythical strain, and now having tried it, all I can say is F$#@ing WOW! Firstly, letās start with the fact that it looks like it was grown on venus by xenomorphs. Purples, oranges, browns, blues, greens--you name it, this bud is the gay pride parade of weed! Both buds of the Tom Ford Pink I received were smallish popcorn in size, but I have to say, the potency took me by surprise for such little nugs. They are fully painted in final-stage trichomes, consisting of a thickly-cloudy, amber colour, which typically signals a more ācouch-lockyā effect. The couchlock was definitely apparent here, though it takes 10 or 15 minutes to fully cripple you, and I experienced a good degree of the classic pressure behind the eyes sensation. I absolutely loved the smell and taste of the Tom Ford Pink--to my senses it comes off with a strong diesel quality, and the vapour was impressively dense and smooth. The effects are strong and very long lasting--if you arenāt in a wheelchair, you will be after one square-dance with this freak. Top-3 reorder contender.
My Rating: 5/5 Fantastical!!

Notes:
Damn near every strain I tried from The Green Ace was a potency champion, and while the prices at The Green Ace may be slightly higher on average than some MOMs, the quality is a guarantee, and some of their sale prices are phenomenal. It seems to me that The Green Ace is gearing itself toward the cannabis connoisseur, and if I were looking for guaranteed potency and bag appeal, I would be ordering here 100%.
