My favorite strains to grow outside are all Indica leaning. I do this because Sativa always take the longest to flower and sometimes they are not even ready by the time frost is hitting. You are talking about a few weeks of time outside with an Indica vs Sativa. So my recommendation is whatever strain you have going now, to choose whatever one is more Indica leaning. Also, I would like to note that Sativa plants are usually the 10-12 foot monster plants you see on the internet. Whereas Indica will get around 6-7 feet tall in a season. I hope this helps and I really want to see this journey so hope you keep us posted.

I'd use what you now about the plants. A plant can look awesome in vege an dstill be less than awesome at end of flower. Don't get me wrong, picking the most robust at this stage still correlates but not a guarantee. so pick the one you know more about or just have more interest in.

100Gal, dam thats a big as pot. Pick a plant that has better characteristics your looking for. If they are the same strain I like the 2nd ones more on structure. it looks like it was topped early on and has two main growth nodes. If they are different plants then pick the one that will have better resistance to moulds and finishes faster. as I am guessing this 100Gal pot if going to be outside. Don't over feed em either they will be hard to correct or flush in 100Gallons. Good Luck!
