Forgot to mention this is the tactic I used and actually JUST got my seeds in the mail an hour ago... in addition to the freebies they sent and my other pick and mix I have 10 strains for only 60 bucks... so I'm picking my best couple or more if worthy canidates for my perpetual SOG... So I will prolly grow all 10, clip a few clones off each and flower them right away to see if they have the characteristics I'm looking for... if a strain doesn't, then I'll keep the mothers I like, and flower the ones that don't pass and then I'm in business...
Shit... just realized your outdoors... mmm... well, also just keep reading other's journals!! Many have done it, see what's worked best for them!
