Depending on your problem you could also find a strain that finishes earlier like in September. This last few days have been the time when people are having small problems like mold or caterpillars so if they had pulled them on like 9/10 they would have been all set. Easier said than done but I'm sure if you went hunting for it up in Humboldt or wherever in Cali you could find something that is known to finish early. Any ideas out there?
If your in Cali a good disease resistant strain is grapestomper aka sour grapes, anywhere around the Oakland area. You could also try fire OG or even more resistant Chemdog 4 I believe its called. All are very sturdy plants and an excellent producer outdoors. Ck my greenhouse thread for pics of the gs and others. The gs is mostly sativa I believe and it stretches nice. Another good disease resistant strain or that has had no problems so far at least in my circle is Sour Diesel. If you get the right cut it produces large stinky colas but its probably best to have the right environment because it may not be finished until late Oct im guessing.

Im having problem with leaf spot disease
Check out Mr Nice "Shit" it's very early and highly resistant to many ailments that can cripple other plants, strong yields, Skunk #1 genetics, and very potent plus the seeds are cheap! I have grown these and they are very fast growing & vigorous plants. 
Hey bbrandon
i too suffer leaf spot/blyte. I have seen the disease mathced up against 25 or so strains, that ranged from nearly pure sativ to pure indica. Ive found one strain that has some albeit limited resistance to blight and disease. SENSi Star from paradise.
Ive fought the disease for 3 years. The first year i noticed that the only plants that didnt have the disease were my sensi star plants. Of 6 plants that first year, 2 sensi stars got the disease and they were planted in between 2 other strians, both terribly infected. But in many cases, even if the star gets the disease, it responds much better to treatment and the disease rarely kills the plant. Other strains can die very quickly - 2 weeks or a little more if the disease is rampant and the plants untreated. Ive seen some defoliate in short order and wilt.
The 2nd year, again every strain had the disease but of 8 stars, only 3 caught the disease and they responded well to treatemnt. The remaining 5 plants were the only plants of 30 plants that didnt have the disease.
This year the disease was biblical and nearly whiped out the entire burley tobacco crop here and there isnt a ripe tomatoe within 100 miles of here becasue every plant was devestated by this fungus. Elm trees, cherries, crabapples and dogwoods defoliated in august and when you look around the natural enviroment, the leaf spot is on everything in sight. Rain every other day and 95 degree temps turned our area into a fungal greehouse.
Sensi star has about 60% resistance and thats it. There may be others but i have my doubts that there are many that are resistant. Ive grown 7 GHSeed strains and all got the disease immediately, 2 strains from magus,2 from sensi, 3 from dinafem, G13, Mr. nice, Djshort, Dutch passion and a half a dozen others
Its a tough disease. Next year, it will be the only strain i try to grow

Besides a resistant strain consider:
Besides a resistant strain consider:
Control
In order to be effective, the proper fungicide must be applied as a protectant before the fungus spore is disseminated to the leaf. Most leaf spot fungi infect trees early in the spring just as the leaves are unfolding. Successful control usually requires two to three spray applications. In general, the first spray is applied at bud break and the second seven to 14 days after that. A third spray might be necessary, particularly during rainy periods. The more rain the more frequent the spray applications must be.
Some recommended fungicides for control of leaf spot diseases are: chlorothalonil (Daconil 2787 or Bravo), fixed coppers, mancozeb, maneb and zineb.

Maybe there is a strain called penicillin.

I use serenade as a preventative measure for moulds and mildews, they say you can spray up until harvest but I only use it up until week 2 of flower.
Another important aspect is the spot you are growing in, if you want to avoid moulds and mildews you want to pick the driest and sunniest spot you can find. Stay high and dry, lot's of airflow around the plants helps to, strip off everything except the tops so you have air moving underneath and pick off all the dead plant matter.
Grow in large pots so your plant are high off the ground, if you have a rainy fall and the hole your plants in turns into a mud puddle best believe you will have some fungal problems.
