Why Grow Maruf “Red Selection”?
Collected on the arid slopes of Maruf (31.57 °N, 1,200 m), Maruf “Red Selection” is a no‑compromise Afghan sedative prized by hash‑makers for its rare volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs). Expect greasy, red‑hued pistils and a pillow‑heavy body stone that lingers for hours.

Cultivation Notes
- Outdoor/Greenhouse: Desert‑bred to handle 40 °C days yet finish under cool autumn nights. Harvest mid‑to‑late October at 31 °N.
- Indoor: Moderate stretch; flip around 35–40 cm. Thrive under full‑spectrum LEDs with 11/13 flowering for tighter node spacing.
- Feeding: Medium‑high EC (1.4–1.8). Extra sulfur & magnesium in weeks 6‑9 intensify that trademark eggy funk and deepen red pistil fade.
- Pro Tip: Burp jars lightly during cure—the sulfur note smooths into a sweet fuel‑toffee undertone after 4–6 weeks of glass‑cure.

Grower FAQ
Q: Is the sulfur funk too strong for indoor grows?
A: It is pungent—use a fresh carbon filter or vent outdoors. The payoff is unrivaled jar appeal for connoisseurs.
Q: Does it need heavy staking?
A: Main stems are stout, but side colas benefit from a single stake to keep greasy buds upright late in bloom.
Q: Typical yield?
A: 1.0–1.1 g/W indoors with a dialed canopy; 500–650 g/plant outdoors in 30‑gal soil.
