Decisions o decision

so I ran into a few small problems with my plants and want to still grow this outdoor season. I cant make up my mind if I should go ahead and get a full grow cycle plant that will take like 5 months or getting some auto flowers because I'm not sure if I will have time to do a full cycle grow. I live in Florida so I don't have to worry about temps being too cold until around late December sometimes late January.

Keep in mind it will take a little over 2 weeks to get my seeds, paying in cash so have to wait for them to receive payment and also receive them

Get photoperiod I'm my opinion auto flowers don't stack the same medicinal properties and effects photoperiod strains do it's worth the wait you'll pull more off reg even with shorter veg times

I lived in Florida most of my life and although I never did an outdoor grow...IMHO a photo-period Sativa would be my choice. Sativas are indigenous to southern more tropical climates and as such can handle the intense amounts of humidity in mid to late fall Florida weather a bit better than an Indica which would do better in a drier atmosphere....again just my opinion. Either way, with the extended daylight hours in that part of the world...a photo-period would have time to finish very nicely if started ASAP.
