Thats more than enough and on really hot days the plants like some shade thru the day to reduce stress.

I get 6 hours of morning sun from 6a to 12pm and then another 8 hours under 100w equivalent 6500K cfl for current veg cycle and my plants love it

Ur getting more than enough ...outdoor sun cycles are 14-10 right now so if ur getting 13.5 you're good...

Mine get direct sunlight from 9 am to 3:30 pm, and filtered and shaded light for the rest. They're doing fine but I sure would like more light. Maybe next year.
Every year gets better as I gain experience and knowledge.

I keep two patches. One gets about 7 hours, the other gets 12+. The 7 hour patch just does better every year (midwest at 40 degrees). Same thing for my roses.

you guys aint gonna yield shit. cannabis grown outdoors love 24 hrs of sunlight......just saying if you can get it in a spot that receives 24 hours or MORE a day of sunlight I think you will like the extra yield.

there IS an android app for this I just found called SUN/MOON shows the days and times of sunrise set for suture past dates..

In SO CEN VAL here says we get 14+ this time of year but.. realistically with the shade houses etc the sun hits my plants directly at 9:30 till 5:30 ish but will get indirect from 6-8pm


it's pretty simple looking at Alaska's mammath veggie growth..

24 hours = MASSIVE ASS PLANT


but as much as I want to move there... the season is short unlike ours here is the Valley!

I started that with my wheel barrel. That was wayyyy too time consuming. Plus all it takes is one tiny rock for your finest lady to end upside down on the ground.
