About Sputnik
Sputnik is listed in public strain databases as a sativa from the breeder TGA Seeds, Subcool. Its listed parents are Black Russian and Apollo 13.
How strong is Sputnik?
Public listings give Sputnik a THC level of 7–11.5%, which is on the milder end. Compared with all strains in our research dataset that have their own THC figure, it is higher than roughly 2% of them. Potency varies by grower, batch and lab, so read these numbers as typical values, not guarantees.
What does Sputnik smell and taste like?
Its top listed terpenes are linalool (floral, lavender-like), myrcene (earthy, musky) and humulene (woody, hoppy). Linalool is the lead terpene for about 1% of the high-confidence strains in our dataset, so it is a less common lead. Terpenes shape smell and taste; their levels change from batch to batch.
