Outdoor growers, I need some advice! Does anyone have experience or insight into how the sun’s movement during the season might affect our ladies?

I’m growing Purple Kush in pots in what I’ve determined to be the sunniest spot in my backyard, surrounded by trees. But here’s my concern: as the season progresses, won’t the sun’s path shift, potentially narrowing my window of full sun and leaving my permanently staked pots in the shade at some point? My plan is to set up cages around each plant using t-posts and 4" trellis netting staked into the ground. I’ve got all the materials ready to go, but before I start staking, it hit me—obviously, the stakes will make it difficult to move the pots if the sun shifts.

I thought about putting the pots on wheels to keep things mobile, but that seems a bit expensive. Any suggestions on how to keep my setup flexible without breaking the bank? And just to clarify, my pots aren’t big enough to hold 4 t-posts. My original plan was to stake them into the ground around the pots. Thanks in advance for any tips or advice!

I have 15gal pots that i move from one side to the opposite side of my property to follow the sun. And a patio to put them under if it rains during flowering. I used to have your issue with shade but don't anymore. I used to move those plants around so much it was a real pain. It's hot dry and sunny where i live now. This is last years grow.

There is an app called Lumos that will show you the path of the sun on different days. I know this is a little off topic but it should help you plan
