Ok so how does the sun change through out the summer? if it gets good southern exposure in the spring will it get southern exposure in the later summer? Just like to make this a general discussion on sun light!

Peace and have a good spring!

The sun gets higher in the sky as the solstice aproaches arcing from east to west in the southern sky. As the solstice recedes it gets lower and the arc less pronounced.

The Spectrum also changes from a white blue dominant to orangey red.

When choosing your grow areas in a forest take a compass with you to determine south. Remember to find the declination for your area as you must use the geographic south, not the compass (magnetic) south. The declination (the difference between geographic and magnetic north) can be quite substantial in some areas. It is always shown on topographic maps.
