hi austin....also from michigan here up north in fact......my 2 cents.....i have ordered a bunch of early indica strains...now, i am not an expert on strains but been outdoor growing for a long time, but it seems like in our climate, indica is a must! here is my list and hopefully someone(s) with more experience will correct me or add comment. good luck

early misty
early bud
purple power
top 44
papaya
shiva....this may not be an early strain but have read many good things about it.
