Which of these strains has the best potential yield?

Hi, I am growing 6 plants and am about to put them outdoors for the rest of the season. They are all different strains. Where I am putting them outdoors, it is basically impossible to dig holes without a backhoe. So, I am putting each in some containers that I've gathered up. 5 of the containers are about 10 gallons then I have one really large 20+ gallon container. I am wondering which of the plants I should put in the biggest container. I'm wondering which strain has the highest yield potential outdoors. Which strain would you choose to put in the large container. The genetics I have going are:

Lemon Purps (The Purps x unknown male, from Humboldt Co.) Regular seed
The Cheese (GHS) Fem'd
Big Bang (GHS) Fem'd
The Church (GHS) Fem'd
ColeTrain (Reserva Privada) Fem'd
Skunk #1 (G13 Labs) Fem'd

Most are about 3 weeks old and all are growing really well. I'm not going to put the Lemon Purps in the big container simply because its from a regular seed and all the others are fem'd seeds. So, which should I put in the 20+ gallon container based on potential yield??

the cheese,or the bigbang.I never grew the bigbang,so i'll go with the cheese,its strong,mildew resistant,and yields heavy.

Thanks for the replies. I've always enjoyed growing skunk and skunk crosses, because they are pretty much idiot-proof. I've never grown Skunk #1 from G13 labs until now though. I've heard some negative things about them, but the skunk #1 is growing like a champ. I started skunk #1 and cole train the same day about 3 weeks ago. The skunk is about a node ahead of the coletrain.

As far as the Cheese, it says on the GHS site that its only been "tested" outdoors, so I'm not really sure. It is the biggest plant I've got right now, but it is a few days ahead of the others. I've heard the Big Bang yields a lot from a few people, its just difficult to decide. GHS says the Church grows well in hot, humid conditions (like mine in the summer) and can yield nearly 2lbs per plant. I don't know how much of that is true. I think the skunk is at the top of my list right now. I'm assuming its really skunk though and is like the other skunk strains I've grown before. I'm really hoping to pull down between 1/2-1lb off the plant in the biggest container. Has anyone ever grown G13 labs skunk #1 or any of their gear??

The only stains i have grown from your list are cheese and skunk #1... skunk is an oldschool strain though, known for a lot of great attributes. My skunk outperformed the cheese i grew... and the blue cheese for that matter. You can't go wrong with Skunk #1, it's a good all-around strain.

Thanks man. I think I'm going to go with the Skunk #1 in the largest container. Hope I can pull a really good amount off of it. Most of my plants are about the same size as the plant in your signature (about 7-8 nodes with hardly any stretching). I'm hoping they will take off when I put them outdoors. From my experience, they normally do. CFL's just can't do what the sun can. I've been putting the plants outside for several hours a day to get them ready. I'm also only using a 16/8 light cycle. I hope this will keep them in veg when they go out. We are over 14 hrs of sunlight per day now. From experience, what would be your favorite smoke on my list?? I think I'm the most eager to see what kind of bud the coletrain produces. TrainWreck x Jasmine (silver haze pheno). I think the trainwreck will be the dominant parent in mine. The leaves are extremely rounded and indica looking.

I don't think GHS even knows that much about the outdoor yields. They say they've had growers do test grows outdoors and on average they got 200-450 grams per plant I think. That seems pretty normal for most plants outdoors. If I get anything close to 1/2 lb off this plant I'll be more than happy. I'm growing strictly for personal use. I smoke for the medicinal value. If the grow is successful I know I'm gonna have to get a bunch of mason jars for long-term storage. I want this grow to last me until next year's outdoor harvest. Good bud in my area runs $60 1/8th, $120 1/4, $400 an ounce. That's just insane pricing imo and I'm simply not going to pay it anymore. I hope they get the medical marijuana legislation passed here in NC soon.
