I've had good luck with Northern Lights in the past, but haven't grown it in some years because I got sick of it. I've done Black Cherry Punch 2 years running and it does well, seems quite pest and mold resistant, has good yields, and gets those nice purples if that's something you care about. Not doing one this year, because Im sick of it and have probably close to a half pound left still.
If you want to attempt a sativa dominant strain outside, I've done Super Silver Haze a few times and it has finished, I think I actually harvested her before BCP last year. She was also good as far as pests, the first year I grew her, her neighbor got aphids and they steered clear of her. Love the strain too, good Sativa without being too overpowering so as to make you a paranoid mess.
I've also had success with White Widow in past years, but the pheno from last year struggled to finish and actually probably needed another 2 weeks when she came down due to rot popping up.
GSC has finished for me, but I don't like it so won't grow it again.
Just keep in mind that I do extra to get these to finish as well, drying with the leaf blower, covering for frost, etc. As far as a strain that will EASILY finish here... I've yet to find one. Tempted to try some fast strains to make my life easier. My list of strains that aren't worth the effort in these parts is much longer.
Hoping the Cinderella XX is the magic strain lol. I have never grown a single strain I have started currently (other than the Zookies which I'm giving to my dad) so it should be an interesting year. I don't like doing the same strains over and over, I'm usually sick of the smoke by the following summer, let alone back to back years.
