Highasamuhfucka, my advice to you is, go to a seed bank like drchronic or gypsy nirvana, look at all of the characteristics of the strains that interest you and find the ones that are most suitable for outdoor growing in your area. Most of the time they will either tell you that it is an outdoor strain, or it is mold resistant, or something of that nature. Also, where are you located? You may not be able to grow a sativa dom plant outside due to the length of your growing season.

True about the Afghanis, I had 8 females in 2006 outdoors and had mold problems with 3 of them I had close to a swamp. Grown in a dry environment I had no problems because it finished before the moldy weather hit my area, middle October that year, I already had the other 5 in and drying. Afghani is very fast finishing.
Definitely listen to hootskers advice about reading the strain profiles on Gypsy's site and others, the profile of the strains will usually tell you what you need to know. Dont know where you are located but I can't really grow too many strains that need to go far into October, the mold comes then for me here.
Another one I would like to mention is Female Seeds' Maroc, very fast finisher, I couldnt get any beans this year because they were sold out everywhere but they should have new stock soon I hear. Seedsman may have a few 4-packs left, I seen he had a couple but I have never ordered from him so I passed. Very popular strain though, I will be buying some as soon as they replenish stock so I have them for next year.
Some more Sativa dom strains that should finish: Early Pearl(Sensi),Mexican Sativas will also finish, this is most of the schwag around the US, it really is good weed when dried and cured right
