Ex Illinois here so I know what you mean about weather systems moving through, good old midwest, choose something indica dominant that will finish by mid October, Sensi is a good company but they don't ship to the US, I live in Europe now so I can order whatever the hell I want, they have good descriptions about their genetics and I like that all plants/seeds are grown in the crappy Dutch climate, this makes them more hardy, sounds like you're a beginner so don't exagerate, choose something hardy.
