A sativa such as a haze hybrid will have more open bud structure than an indica dom like The Chruch, so it would make sense that they would have less risk of mould.

mites absolutely love skunky stuff, so stay away from skunky strains if this will be a problem

the church:
is very mold resistant, you can throw clones in a humidome and leave them unchecked for days without a single one molding up when others would be screwed

ive never seen it mold on a growing plant

that being said,
it doesnt like high humidity and it will sag if room ventilation is not sufficient

the buds are not big but they are all decent sized nuggets and it produces a lot of them
the church has a slightly arm pit stink and orange smell
its not mite resistant, but mites aren't very attracted to it like I have seen in other strains

the high is more clear - you can smoke a lot at a party and still be social

The Church is definetely the most mold-resistant strain in the Green House seed Co collection.
It has a natural resistance to mold due to a specific terpene-profile.

For the rest, sativas are less likely to mold than indicas, as Ganja Pasha confirmed.
The Arjan's Ultra Haze #1 is very resistant to mold, more than the SSH, because of lesser bud density.
Ultimately, humidity control and filtering the intake air for spores are the best options for mold control.
Also using Colloidal Silver can help, as well as some sulfures (careful for burns!!!!!)
