Sputnik

Sputnik is a indica dominant hybrid (80% indica/20% sativa) strain with a character all of its own. THC testing typically lands between 12% and 18%, pairing raw strength with a 0.8% CBD content. Seeds come in regular form, and demand from home growers has never really slowed.

The Sputnik high creeps in gently before wrapping the whole body in heavy relaxation — expect softened shoulders, slowed thoughts and a warm couch-lock that deepens as the session goes on. A gentle mental uplift keeps the mood bright the whole way through, so the physical heaviness never tips over into fogginess. Because of these effects, Sputnik is often chosen for managing chronic stress, muscle tension and insomnia and other sleep disorders, especially by those who want relief without reaching for anything heavier.

Sputnik has a delicious skunk flavor that lingers on the tongue long after the exhale, with an aroma to match that grows sharper as the buds are broken apart. Each exhale leaves a skunk-tinged aftertaste that keeps you coming back for one more taste. This bud has dense grape-shaped dense green nugs with rich blue-purple undertones, curly amber hairs and a fine dusting of milky white trichomes.

In the garden, Sputnik is an easy, forgiving grow that suits first-time cultivators, flowering in around 8 weeks and performing well in controlled indoor setups. It shrugs off common beginner mistakes, and yields stay respectable even when conditions are less than perfect. Plants stay compact enough for tents and small rooms, which makes canopy management straightforward. Its genetics run through the wider Sputnik family — see Sputnik 1.0 and Sputnik 2.0 for close relatives worth comparing before you buy.
