Location of grow

My outdoor grow is housed in a fence/building that's 12x12 and 8ft high.(See diary for pics). Since the trees have filled out they are blocking some direct sun. If I moved EVERYTHING over it would be a huge pain but would receive more direct sun. What would you guys do? Worth it?

Thank you for your answers. The structure stays where it is. They get approximately two hours of shade or "ambient light" before the sun is back around. Seeing that I've been dealing with heat and light stress I'm glad I kept it where it was. I've thinned put some trees which also allows for better placement of additional cameras and devices. I also have poles that can be thrown on top in a jiffy if needed and a tarp that can go up quick. I also took several air mattresses and cut them apart and zip ties and gorilla glue/taped them. It's big enough to throw over the top. If we get hail or other horrible things I'll be ready I'm glad I did this as the first tornado I've heard of touched ground about half hour away.

Fellow Mainer here👋 I would definitely move it. Not just for the direct sun now but especially later on when they're finishing up in the fall. When we start getting that cold and rainy weather in Late September into October it's going to provide the perfect breeding ground for mold. You'll want them to have as much direct sun and air circulation as possible. You may also want to think about throwing a couple clear corrugated roofing panels on top of that structure as well during the fall to prevent potential mold. I made a roof over mine last year with good results. Good luck!

The structure doesn’t look like it would be too hard to move. A couple of buddies will make that an easy job. Either that or start thinning the trees out.
