About Sputnik
Two space-race names collide in this lineage, Apollo 13 lending its famous mission history and Black Russian its darker, denser reputation, and the result is a strain named after the satellite that started the whole competition. Sputnik sits at 70 percent sativa to 30 percent indica by genetics, a ratio leaning firmly toward the rangier, more cerebral side of the family without eliminating the indica influence entirely. THC testing comes in between 17 and 20 percent, a solidly strong range for a cross with this much sativa in its genetic split. The space theme running through both named parents and the strain's own title gives Sputnik a coherent branding story, one where the lineage and the name actually point in the same direction rather than feeling like an afterthought pairing.
