They grew tobacco, rice, and indigo. These were mostly grown before 1793 and a little bit afterwards. In 1793 Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin which boosted the amount of cotton grown. Cotton then became the main product of the south. Though, during the Civil War the production almost completely stoped because all the men were off fighting and weren't able to keep the farming growing.

What was the southern colonies main cash crop?

If you are talking about the southern colonies during the Civil War, their main cash crops would have been tobacco or cotton. Due to the environment, their location was ideal during the time for such products, as well as plantation life (seeing that the south used slave labor to pick such crops). If you recall the Anaconda Embargo the North placed on the South during the war, it was enplaced in order to try to "suffocate" the South by taking away their main source of revenue, cash crops, which they traded with foreign countries in order to finance the war.
