There is actually an outdoor growing forum on this sit but never mind. It sounds like you have the right idea but without knowing what country your in its kind of hard to comment. Im in the UK and i have tried a couple of outdoor crops and it realy all depends on how good the summer is. As it goes i think we are gona have a pretty good one in the UK this year. But good luck any way. As for a strain i grew hindu kush x hash plant and that was fantastic but there so many to choose from these days.. orange buds a nice out door crop..
