Sounds like you have a pretty good line-up in mind, if total yield is what you're going for.
I guess there are a few different strategies you can follow - in regards your seed selection. Total yield, variety (indica, sativa and crosses), purposed for outdoor growing (mold resistance, drought resistance - I'm thinking about strains like Auto Frisian Dew, for example). The later would be more important if you are thinking about a guerrilla type grow, rather than a home garden grow - as its not always possible (or even desirable) to visit a guerrilla patch every few days.
The same applies for nutes. If you're growing in the bush - you'll want to invest in a really good soil mixture, rather than a nute line-up, as its unrealistic to expect to visit your plants on any sort of schedule (and in fact, should be avoided).
The bonus of a good organic (and well cooked) soil mixture is that you won't require tediously PH'ed water to feed it. I did that the first year I grew guerrilla - but subsequently found that water from a nearby fish-supporting creek (in addition to rainfall) worked out far better for the photos I was growing.
In fact - water from local creeks is all I use now, even indoors. One local creek had a return of something like a million salmon, this year, very nearly all of which have now spawned and expired - and while the water I've been grabbing from it smells like an Alaskan salmon cannery - the indoor autos have been loving it!
I learned that sometimes mother nature will supply a much better product than anything I could mix up in my kitchen sink with PH balances and expensive nutrient line-ups - ha ha!
For myself - variety is the spice of life, and I'm currently looking at seeds that will produce a nice cross section of cannae genetics for the first harvest (which will be 8 plants out in the bush). I have one seed left of both Bubbleicious and Think Different - so they will be out there. In addition, there will be two each of Auto Purple Kush and Auto Wappa - the last two bush babies will likely be Auto THC Bomb - though that may change before spring, depending upon my whims - ha ha!
What there will not be are any very large yielders, or "super autos".
I tried two Berry Ryders in my patch, this year - both were planted in May - neither even began to flower until a week ago (which means there will be no harvest from either of them, as they are not going to beat the approaching winter). Now, I realize this is abnormally late even for a "Super auto" - but I won't take a chance on it again next year.
As I'm hoping to plant two crops next summer - the second crop will be all about quick maturation - probably 60 Day Lemon, or something similar.
My decision to put a long maturation plant like Think Different into the ground as a second crop, this year - now seems a rash one. I had to cut one of her developing buds off when I was out there the other day, as it had been infected with bud-rot - and I'm not sure the rest won't succumb to the same malady before she's finished.
Anyway - just some food for thought. There are a lot of variables at play when one takes their grow outdoors. One thing I can guarantee is that your first season growing outside will feature a whole new learning curve - and you'll have a much better understanding of what works and what doesn't by October of next year!
Great luck to you - and I'll hope for great, ferocious swaths of sunshine (interspersed by gentle, misting drizzle!) for your next year's garden!
