If the weather is tropical or subtropical, like here in the tropical rainforest, sativa dominant strains will handle the climate conditions better. Fat packing indicas get very mouldy in high humidity weathers.

Get sativas. Preferably strains related to Thai stick strains. They're acclimated to your climate.
My place is subtropical, Very hot and high humidity in summer and spring. normally could get up to 100℉ and 80~90% humidity in summer(Jun ~ Aug) .
Thank you for your advice.
I am thinking Arjan's Haze #1 from green house, is it OK? any one is familiar with this strain?
More, Purple Paro Valley is also in my list, but I didn't get much information about this strain.

Yes. Haze should be fine. Since your humidity is high you want to grow plants with more airy buds to prevent mold. Hazes can flower for quite a while though, 3-4 months. Yeah, you want some mold resistant strains.

Yes. I like Arjan's Haze. I also have Neville's(Nevil's?) Haze. Great smoke and huge plants.
Thai strains? sounds good, can be more specific?

Look for landrace Asian Sativas. There are some that are called 'Thai Stick'. I've seen them in breeder catalogs.

I received an oz. of Thai Stick in '75. In one tiny bud on one stick were 7 seeds. I didn't sprout them until '84. Only one female came about, and I didn't keep a boy. I cloned that one amazing girl for eleven seasons. The sun leaves were tiny, averaging less than three inches across, with 7 fingers. Extremely potent smoke. I lost it, and dozens of hybrids from her in '94 through a comedy of errors.
