diminishing sunlight!

sup guys! well i have a nice outdoor spot and it used to get a decent amount of light. but now since the trees have filled in, it doesn't get nearly as much as it used to. I would guess its now around 3 hrs of direct light off and on throughout the day. I can tell it's having some effect because it grew to a foot in like 3-4 weeks and now it's on week 6 and is only about 3 inches taller (if this is normal let me know!). Should I get decent buds? Use molasses? Most of the trees around it are massive, so I can't even trim for more light to get through :sad: any advice would be appreciated!

You need to be getting 6+ hour's of direct sunlight to have a nice grow,also your plant's look the same as mine but a few inche's taller.

I am growing mango by kc brain's and wondering what strain you have?

Thank's

At this point, there's not much you can do but take what you can get.

I've seen what appear to be spindly ten foot tall plants produce over a half pound each, in similar circumstances.

If they begin to look top heavy, take measures to support them through budding.
