Growing outdoors can limit you some what, some of those equatorial sativas seen to go on for ever, with buds ripening at different time a real pain.
Cherry sounds nice, I have yet to grow some cherry bomb but is on my list.
I once saw a strain which said it had hints of black cuurant, that for me would be the Holy grail a strain that was full on black currant.
Stupidly i didn't take note of which strain it was and I haven't been able to find anything which hints at a black currant flavor since.
