Steal my thunder you dog! Which I stole from the link you led me to :firedevil:

This thing helped me work out some planting and germing dates.

Graphical overlay on android camera to show sun path for any time of the year. No guessing, just point and look to see when the sun will hit your potential spot.

Has anyone actually used this up against the clock to see if it's bang on?

Hello!

I hope it is safe to post in an old thread (even though it's a sticky), but I have found a couple of websites that might help with the sun and the time.

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/sunrise.html
The first website provides what time the sun will rise and when the sun will set. It also provides how much total time the sun has been out for that day. All you have to do is choose where you live from the drop box, and click the "See sunrise/sunset" button (If you the website does not provide the location where you live, then choose a place that is very close to you).

This next website provides where the sunlight will be located during the time you have chosen at the bottom of the map. To make the search a bit faster, just choose the location you are closest to, and pick your time. This website requires adobe flash player to work correctly!

I hope these websites will help you with your outdoor planting!

(TBH, I use this website to figure out when I can go bow shooting as well as fishing, since the places I visit are outdoors and they close when the sunsets.)

If you really want to work out the hors of direct sunlight your girls will get, you should learn sketchup. Make a layout of your growing space, then use the geolocation settings to sync the orientation with google maps and activate shadows. You will get a perfect picture of the sunlight at any point of the year. Is truly amazing.

If there is enough interest on this I may make a little tutorial for the community. There are some pics;



I hope you can see on the picture what I mean. The thing on the blue cube suppose to be the pant, I put those horizontal sticks every 10cm so I know how high should the plant be to stay out of the shadow. If you take your time you can even work out perspectives to know where the plant can be seen from. I have even using to plan indoor grows so you can easily try any combination.

Hey! Found this thread really helpful for exploring light cycle times and sun paths for outdoor grows.
I always check out the situation on the ground, but for planning through the whole cycle -- thank you!!
