Ordering & Pricing:
First order, used 15% off coupon if I remember correctly. I f...orgot to click on the “free shipping” option. When I realized a couple of days later, I contacted Ivan, and he immediately gave me credit for the shipping for my next order!!!
Communication: 10/10
They answer emails at insane hours. Ordered late Jan. 1st, got tracking number Thursday Jan. 3rd. Package made it to my city Monday Jan. 7th, and that was the last scan. The expected delivery came and went, but no package. I contacted the mom after it was obvious that the package was lost or stolen. The Green Ace without hesitation offered to replace my lost package! I ended up placing a second order the same night, so they shipped out my two orders a couple of days later! I received my orders on January 16th. I have split my reviews in two four strain reviews
Packaging:
Plain white box, all the bud comes in a resealable aluminum bag with the strain name on them. Inside of a sealed air proof bag, no smell what so ever!

Black Diamond 7/10 http://i.imgur.com/eSPggBI.jpg Beautiful purple, dence buds with a nice trim. The bag appeal is great, frosted with a earthy, woody berry smell. When vaped the berry notes really come out, with a sweet pungent taste. When smoked it is a bit harsh, with dark grey ash. The berry still comes through, so it is pleasant. A relaxed happy high, although it could last a bit longer. A nice strain to have. AAA
Pink Star 8.5/10 http://i.imgur.com/4iBl87Q.jpg Large conical dence buds, with a very pungent skunky, earthy smell with a bit of diesel. Nuggets have a nice trim, clogs up my grinder. A very smooth smoke with grey ash. Vaping brings out the delicious skunky taste. The effects are felt right away, with a strong relaxing sedative kind of high that lasted a couple of hours. A definite re-buy. I believe this strain is AAA+
Money Maker 8.5/10 http://i.imgur.com/LMVFUWi.jpg The bag appeal on these beautifully trimmed nugs is something. The smell is piney, flowery, spicy like cardamom, not chilie peppers. Smokes smooth, burns very light grey, and hits hard! When vaped the taste is very unique, again like cardamom? And the effects are hard indica, couch lock, heavy relaxed body with heavy eyes. A definite re-buy, AAAA-
Romulan 9/10 http://i.imgur.com/SxEgmIR.jpg Wow! Surprised by this version of the strain. These buds are dence! With a nice trim job, and a beautiful earthy sweet and piney smell. Very smooth when smoked, whith white ash (I have not vaped this yet because the smoke is soooo smooth an delicious!!!) The effects are immediate, heavy eyed, narcotic, glued to the couch can barely speak, my favourite! I thoroughly enjoyed this strain, will be buying again. This strain is AAA+

Incentive for Review:
None, throughly enjoyed the experience! I’ve ordered from 5 or 6 moms in my life time, this is the first mom that made me want to spread the word
Notes:
I will be reviewing another four strains from The Green Ace soon
Very gassy nose and similar taste with a sweet/sour finish. The nugs are dense and well trimmed and covered in trichomes inside and out. The burn is clean white/light grey ash and leaves a solid oil ring on a joint. The high is a relaxing heavy body buzz thats great for muscle pain or a sleep aid. T...his one is more expensive but the quality speaks for itself. I’d rank this AAA+/AAAA-
I really REALLY liked this particular bud... It was the best of what I ordered from GA.. I’d put it way up with CWF.. Its definitely top-shelf green.. I was really happy given the price I nabbed it for.

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 poi...nts on static topics.. Hope that’s cool! Comments and constructive criticisms most welcome, thanks guys/gals. :)

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: https://i.imgur.com/TogRX5f.jpg --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: https://i.imgur.com/7GgtDno.jpg --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.
--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.
