Morning Sunlight Vs Late Afternoon Sunlight

  1. Marijuana plants love direct sunlight at most any time, but it is said that the plants respond particularly well to early morning sunlight.

    During my current potted guerrilla-grow, which I only get out to in the wild about every other day, there are two locations (within 40 feet from one another) that offer a (reasonably) great amount of sunlight throughout most of the day...

    Location One, which is where I have them currently, offers an extra hour or more of early morning sunlight than Location Two does.

    Location Two, however, offers probably an extra hour and a half of late afternoon sunlight than Location One does.

    Since these are late-season Autoflowers, I believe every little minute of high-quality direct sunlight will help my little girls out, and so I wonder what the opinions are amongst you "advanced growers".

    Would my plants get more benefit from early morning light than they would late afternoon light?

     
    The area I'm currently keeping the plants offers an extra hour (maybe more) of direct morning sunlight, but a little bit less daylight overall, dig?
     
  2. deppends on what you want
    but i think the afternoon will make them flower faster
    its the same thing as flower initiator but natures version i guess
     
  3. I believe I read somewhere that plants produce the most photosynthesis during the morning....then they go through a mid day depression where the rate slows, and then it tapers off through the day.
     
  4. The morning sunlight is best to burn off the dew condensation. Unless you are watering regularly It's best to avoid the hot afternoon sun and have some shade during those hrs. But if water is no issue full exposure from dawn to dusk is preferred. Big outdoor plants will need a lot of water in the direct afternoon sun.
