Help with strain selection. Shade Problems.

Hello All. Posted this on IC with not much luck. I was hoping you guys could give me some advise on strains that have short flowering times & high yield that would do good in my shady situation. Here's the deal. My Outdoor grow located in Nor Ca site has poor direct light. Jun 63%, July 65%, Aug 59%, Sept 40%. Then by October I'm filtered shade most of the day. I ran Blue Dream this year and it did ok but barely finished and lacked big colas. I grew out of 30gl smart pots and was thinking about going to 100gl, just not sure if it would be worth the effort without that much sun. What you think about the pots? What strains can you guys recommend for my situation? Anybody else with sun issues & what strains work best for you? I know sun, sun and more sun is best but that's just not my case. Here is a picture of my site. I can't cut down anymore trees since they are on my neighbors property. I'm in Lake County so if anybody would like to use my Solar path finder pm me. Thanks for the help.

what i would do is find anther spot. and kill a few trees in that area. dont have your plants near the tree when your killing it i like to leave them standing when i take care of them dont draw as much attention.

I had ashady garden at my old house, and grew there 2 years and I hd best luck with full indicas. My Grandaddy Purp did pretty good, and LA Cons did good to. Stay away from Sativa heavy hybrids, even if they're fast. They usually require more intense light to flower properly.
