Sputnik 3.0
Also known as: Sputnik 3
Sputnik 3.0 Strain Overview
Sputnik 3.0 is a modern cannabis strain developed as an enhanced version of the original Sputnik genetics, which trace their lineage to Space Queen and Cinderella 99. This strain represents a refinement of earlier Sputnik varieties, with breeders focusing on stabilizing desirable traits while increasing potency and terpene expression. The name references the Soviet satellite program, continuing the space-themed nomenclature of its predecessors while indicating its status as a third-generation improvement.
Visually, Sputnik 3.0 typically displays dense, conical buds with a frosty trichome coating that gives the flowers a silvery appearance. The coloration ranges from deep forest green to purple hues, often accented by vibrant orange pistils. The strain's structure tends toward moderate height with good lateral branching, making it suitable for various cultivation environments. Growers appreciate its relatively fast flowering time and resilience to common cultivation challenges.
Notable characteristics include its balanced hybrid effects and complex aromatic profile. While specific breeding details for the 3.0 version are less documented than its predecessors, it maintains the reputation of the Sputnik lineage for delivering potent effects with cerebral stimulation and physical relaxation. The strain has gained popularity among both recreational users and medical cannabis patients seeking reliable, consistent results from a stabilized genetic line.

Sputnik 3.0 Strain Growing Information
Sputnik 3.0 is considered a moderate-difficulty strain suitable for growers with some experience. The flowering time typically ranges from 8 to 10 weeks indoors, with outdoor harvests occurring in late September to early October in northern hemisphere climates. Plants tend to reach medium height (3-5 feet indoors, 5-7 feet outdoors) with good lateral branching that responds well to training techniques like topping and LST (low-stress training).
Yields are generally above average, with indoor growers reporting 14-18 ounces per square meter under optimal conditions, while outdoor plants can produce 16-22 ounces per plant. The strain performs well in both indoor and outdoor environments but prefers a Mediterranean-like climate when grown outside. Sputnik 3.0 shows good resistance to common molds and pests but benefits from proper airflow and humidity control during the flowering stage. Nutrient requirements are moderate, with some sensitivity to overfeeding during vegetative growth.
