Growing In A Vineyard

Hello RIU, I've learned everything I know on these forums not really too active thought. But my question is I have a professionaly set up vineyard in my backyard about a half an acre and I was wondering if cannabis can grow in between the vines there. the vines are at most 5 ft. tall and I'm just curious if sunlight is gonna be able to penetrate through the vines and hit my lets say 1 ft. babies enough for them to grow sufficiently. If you know anything about vineyards then you know that grapes don't really create a massive canopy due to the fact that you have to prune it. Any advice is highly appreciated, thank you!

How far apart are the rows? You might consider building them 1-2' tall pallet to sit on.
What strains do you plan on running?

I would say about 5ft maybe 6.. and that's a great suggestion but I don't want them to go any higher then a foot above the vineyard cause my neighbor whos backyard looks into mine is probably about 1000 ft. from where they are going to be planted, but this guy is a k9 unit patrol guy and has about 4 sniffers in his backyard, I'm obviously prop 215 and am only doing my legal 6 limit.. I'm sure hes known I've grown in the previous years but I want to try and respect my neighbors as much as possible and not have massive visible marijuana plants, I may sound a little paranoid but I just want to be safe and keep my neighbors likin me. Also, I can go get a couple pictures of the vineyard and post it on here so you can get a better idea if that would help?

And right now I've picked out 2 blue cheeses 2 moneymakers a red diesel and a sour diesel all fem'd and then I got 2 freebies one fem blue power and then another femmed auto, I forget what kind but I might throw the auto in late summer and see how it does, I've only grown 1 auto before, there really cool plants how they grow haha but a waste of time if you ask me. I actually haven't ordered them yet though just what I have picked out cause i'm super preparing myself for next season, I plan on ordering my seeds in the next few weeks.

Maybe try a few auto flower XXL's, they are like super auto's in that they get big and finish in 80-90 days from seed with 4-8 ounces each in big holes. Cheese XXL is potent as hell. Also they are good in lower light area's in my opinion. Good luck and watch that pig next door.

I think I'm going to grab a couple of my moms house plants around the house, sizes like 6"-1'-2'-5' and put them between the vineyard and see how many hours of sunlight they get, the floor between all the vines has complete sunshine.

are you planted north-south? or east-west? They might have an easier start if you're east/west. What kind of canopy / trellis are you running??

Worst comes to worst, they'll just stretch until they get adequate light.

North-South and I'm not to entirely sure it's my moms vineyard we bought the house with it. I guess I'll just have to put a few babies there next season and see if there growing at there average pace or not and if not move them into spot in my backyard.
