I plan on growing in an area that gets an okay amount of light, on my suncalc it read partial sun ( there is full sun, partial sun, partial shade, full shade), I have heard indica isn't as mold resistant, and we have humid summers. I was thinking a sativa plant would be my best bet, because the height might help. Any input is appreciated.

yea I have heard that sativa's deal better with excess light, which is what lead me to believe that they prefer more light, rather than less light. I can always trellis it up if it gets real bad. thanx

hah, I got it from Burpee's seed catalogue. I am an avid vegetable gardener, its basically a device that sticks into the proposed spot and detects the amount of light for a 12 hour period, so I stick it in at 7 in the morning and get it at 7 at night.
