Need to make a decision, need experienced help

I am going to be growing outdoors next season, for the second time, and i need to find a better strain this time. I've done closet/box/stealth grows before, but i'm new to outdoor. I live in Georgia, and on an average summer day it is 80-100 degrees [but usually 90-100] and somwhere beween 75-100% humidity [but usually 80-90%]. Last season i used one of those "grab bags" of sativa strains, and ended up with 2 hermies, 4 males, and 2 females were stressed so much they turned hermie [total of 4 herms]. This time, i wanna get something that can stand up to this tourture of this climate.

-------------------------------------------------------------

I've come up with a list of strains that sound/look good. I prefer yield over THC content because of my limited financial situatiton. I need y'alls help to pick out the top 3 for my situation, so i can narrow it down to 1-2. Keep in mind I am going to veg a few [probably one of each strain] in a growbox from Jan/Feb and transplant outside in Mar/Apr/May, which is when i will start all of the others.

This list is just strains from marijuana-seeds.nl and are in order from what sound best to worst with 3 main things in mind: my preferences, ability to withstand the climate, and yeild. Feel free to add to the list or suggest other banks...

1. Purple White Widow
2. Durban Poison
3. Big Bud
4. Northern Lights/ Northern LightsxHaze
5. Afghan
6. PPP
7. Bublegum
8. Mazar
9. THC Bomb
10. Crystal


[Plus, if you scratch my back, i might just scratch yours ;-);-);-)]
 
I'll let others suggest a strain but as far as your growing environment don't sweat it . These babies love the heat in the summer outside. Some of the best weed i've smoked is fom waaaay down Kentucky way where its just as hot and humid. Good luck and keep us posted.

So any of these strains would survive?

Also I forgot to mention, as I am going to be guerilla growing, i won't be able to water but about once every week are 2, and GA is in a record long drought... it might rain 2-3 times a month, but only a little sprinkle...

Will these still be alright?
 
no they will most liklry dry out and die as for the strain id go for afghan great out door strain can go about a day later for water then others can get by with watering every 5-6 days if needed

Yeah, thats what i've heard about it, it was at #9 on the list til i heard that. But i've also heard the the Durban can go longer than the Afghan without being watered [thats why its #2]. Is this true or false?
 
So after a late-afternoon on the town [i have work again tomorrow:sad:] with my dealer, i "sampled" 10 of his best strains foh free! And i have some things i wanna look for in my plant/bud....

#1- I want a monster!!!! :fire: One that can touch the sky or one that is wider that i am tall [fdd style]
#2- A plant that can withstand the beating i bestow opon it, is decently pest/disease resistant and just all around tough.
#3- A relatively high yielder with decent amounts of THC.
#4- The high has to be on either side of the spectrum of functionality. It either has to be completely uplifting and happy/giggly, or it has to be a stony couch-lock/unable to move or think high
#5-This buds gotta have some color to it baby! :bigjoint: Plain old green is just boring. i dont care if its purple, white, blue, red, silver, gold, orange, pink, purple, neon yellow, cyan, burgundy, tye-dye, whatever!!


I know what your thinking... either
-"well done! thats what everyone wants!"
or
-"do your own research idiot",

keep in mind that i just consumed over half an ounce of Grade-A, top-of-the-line, what jeezy smokes, ATL's finest. purple haze, OG kush, silver sticky, super skunk,*ak-47, G13 haze, northern, jack herer, white widow, and last, but certainly not least, the stick-icky chronic its self, all foh FREE! i can barely function right now. it took me about an hour to type this...

so on my usual trip to my local headshop for my cigarettes, something amazing happened. i walk into an empty store, except for the man behind the counter, who i am very friendly with, because i am a "regular" i there, and after i buy my cigs we start conversing. it starts out about an ashcatcher that would fit into my roor steamrollers, and slowly shifts to growing. this is all happening with the man who's thrown people out of his store for even mentioning pot. so it turns out that he is quite a grower himself. he himself had been growing for 14 years, since he was 14 :-P. he runs a 40-50 plant perpetual harvest sog, and yields about 5 pounds every 2 weeks. we then turn the convo to my seed situation and how i'm deciding on a strain. it turns out that he has plenty of seeds [a gallon bag full] and he offered to give me some for free. he even said that if this strain wasn't exactly what i wanted, he would buy me 25 seeds of any strain i wanted no matter the cost. promptly after this, he pulls out his personal stash and we "sample his product" in his 4footer bongsmilie. he also informs me of a local hydro store that i'd never heard of, and if i mentioned that i was refered by him, i'd get a 10% discount.

i leave the store very, very, VERY high and with a little spring in my step knowing 2 things. a) i now have a strain that is very good, or an insurance plan to get anything else i want for free if it isnt :-). -and- b) i just made a new unexpected friend that is going to make this a hell of a lot easier on my part :-)

so if you couldn't tell, i had an AWESOME day, maybe one for the books :peace:

just got my new babies, and it didn't set me back a dime :mrgreen:

**EDIT**: comparing to the prices of other "kush" strains [hindu, violator, grapefruit, purple, etc.], i just "made" 200-450$, not including shipping :mrgreen:
