Indica on the US Gulf Coast?

The general rule of thumb is sativa for hot, humid climate and indica for arid climate. Have any of you guys had success growing indica or hybrids along the US gulf coast? I have long grow seasons and summer temps approaching 100f from July through August. Humidity where I live will be 90+ almost every day. Cold weather late in the season will NEVER be an issue as I can grow 'til at least Thanksgiving. I ask because I prefer the taste and effects of Indica. Thanks for your input.

Topping often to make smaller buds to reduce rot probability? Sorry that's failed logic mate. Rot spores everywhere big, bud, little bud, even tiny larf bud can get it. Any dense, tight nug will be susceptible unless ur preventative. Take an alternate approach and be proactive with some sort of spraying or something.

Only thing I cannot speak for is humidity. Where I live the humidity is always >10%
But as for heat. Oh yeah. 100-113F all summer. Sometime encounter 90+F into late November. I grow indicas as large as they can go all year. Doesn’t really render a difference for me. I just keep them very shaded under screen. Sativas will always go over the fence before flower for me, twice that if I let ‘em.. So lots of training with those.

Have you encountered bud rot issues mudballs, or am I being overly concerned?

Yes, sativa will do better with rot. But everything will rot when it rains every day. The problem I run into is the short days in summer leads to flowering when the rainy season is still going on. I've been trying to start later in the summer to time the flowering closer to the end of the rainy season.
