Need help picking outdoor strain for *VERY* high humidity area

I live in the very deep South. My city is top 10 in rainfall. Humidity hovers at 90-100%, 90% of the season. Attempted to grow Cindy 99 outdoors a few years back and they died of mold; no smoke was salvageable. The average frost doesn't hit until mid-November.

Which [specific] strain should I get and, more importantly, where should I get it from? My last order from Attitude was seized in Chicago, so I need a stealthy company offering that strain. Links would be appreciated. Thanks, guys.

I'd think a quicker flowering equitorial sativa might work. Strains bred for the pacific northwest tend to have high mold resistance also. But a lot of them might autoflower in your climate outdoors. I know Timewarp for example autoflowers at lower latitudes.

AMS from greenhouse seeds? AMS stands for Anti Mold Strain so should be quite mold resistant.

Thanks. I was looking at Purple Power from 420-seeds (I've ordered from them, very stealthy), but it's a strain bred for the Northwest/Holland.

Anything that isn't equitorial is going to have a tendency to flower at your latitude. I guess keep it in mind. Better to harvest when it's sunny even if it's humid.

I'm doing Dutch Passion Durban Poison atm. Seems very mold resistant but my environment is quite favorable to growing. Also I've heard Frisian Dew from the same company is a good outdoor strain for poor growing climates.

Kandy kush from DNA is awesome for high humidity, supersilver haze from Gh was also a winner, train wreck , gigabud for. G13labs, chemdawg strains, also DNA og kush was great, any blue dreams crosses will be awesome. I grow in a greenhouse and the humidity is always about 80% rh. Any kind of short indica type plant I.e. bubba kush or purple kush will just rot out. Another secret is to spray with nova 40 when buds are just forming, and top your plants when they are small to have smaller mood resilient buds.

Kandy Kush is not a good anti mold strain and neither is OG kush, both are known for getting bud rot. Anything crossed with OG kush runs the risk of bud rot because buds can get so large and dense. Stay away for short squat plants with lots of leafs, they don't have as much air circulaton as larger sativa dominate strains. Durban Poison would be good, green crack would be good, any thai sativas would be good.

Top it 4-6 times then train it so it's super spread out. You'll probably have to stake it up later in the season but that's better then bud rot.
