Natural Lighting - Ever Too Much?

mackdx · May 14, 2011

I am scoping out a spot for my first outdoor grow (Nirvana Swiss Cheese fems). I have a field with a brook running through it. The brook is surrounded by brushy growth and areas of raspberries. Pretty much anywhere I select will be hidden and have a nice open southerly exposure. Would I be better off plant in the open raspberries where my girls will get pretty much full sun from sun up to sun down, or would I be better off back in the taller brush a little bit so the sun is somewhat filtered? I also plan on LST'ing to keep the height under control if that makes any difference.

more light = more bud

Actually more light less bud as the plants have to reach a certain light cycle to begin budding my friend. Marijuana plants are very resilient. Where ever you decide to plant as long as they get at least 6 hrs or full on sun you should be fine.

More lighting in veg cycel = more bud in the flower cycle

I dissagree a bit.

In Mid summer growth slowes way down Due to the heat an amout of water transpiration the plant is experiencing.
My plants like a bit of shade / Diffuse Light in the mid summer heat an grow better.

it's gonna depend alot on where the OP is; if he's in Texas, the july sun full-bore will fuck your plants up. ask me how i know...

this is also strain variable; sativas can handle the sun here but indicas can't fade it.

Yeah like above post said, it depends on where your at for the heat and temp to take a toll on plants. Up north it wont be as bad for full sun as a arizona sun
