Why Grow Maruf “Black Selection”?
Collected on the harsh, rocky slopes of Maruf (31.57 °N, 1,200 m), Maruf “Black Selection” preserves one of Afghanistan’s rarest gas profiles—layered diesel fuel, naphthalene (mothballs) and fresh paint‑thinner bite. Greasy bracts darken toward charcoal at full maturity, while a deep, narcotic stone locks in for hours.

Cultivation Notes
- Outdoor/Greenhouse: Desert‑bred for 40 °C days and chilly autumn nights. Harvest mid‑to‑late October at 31 °N.
- Indoor: Moderate stretch; flip around 35–40 cm. Responds well to 11/13 flowering for tighter internodes.
- Feeding: Medium‑high EC (1.4–1.8). Elevated sulfur and magnesium in weeks 6‑9 sharpen the solvent funk and deepen dark hues.
- Pro Tip: Cure 4–6 weeks in glass: the naphthalene edge settles into a sweet kerosene‑toffee undertone without losing punch.

Grower FAQ
Q: How intense is the odor during flower?
A: Extremely pungent—run a fresh carbon filter or vent outdoors. The payoff is unparalleled jar appeal.
Q: Does it require heavy staking?
A: The central stem is sturdy, but side colas benefit from a single stake or light trellis to keep greasy buds upright.
Q: Typical yield?
A: 1.0–1.1 g/W indoors with a dialed canopy; 500–650 g/plant outdoors in 30 gal soil.
