Default full sun 4hrs or partial 8hrs better?
I've got a few xtras that I've been hanging on to this season as my "real scene" is not where I reside. I put em in 45 gal pots and have recently been moving them around the yard as the sun/trees shade them out. They were getting 12hrs full sun prior to the sun/calendar shift.

I don't know anyone that uses a greenhouse, everyone I know grows full sun and/or indoor scenes, so I can't compare potential yields between full sun and greenhouse. I know the full sun will typically have tighter/denser buds compared to the ghouse.

I prefer plants outside versus a greenhouse but here's my deal.
the plants are outside right now. they get 4hrs full sun and the rest of the day they are either fully shaded or partially shaded.
the greenhouse only gets 5hrs full sun and and fully shaded otherwise.
The ones that are outside are the same height as the ones in the greenhouse, the differences being the outside ones have beefier stems and more budsites. Needless to say, the outside ones look awesome in every aspect.

I've got 50 monsters elsewhere so I am not super concerned what happens with the few in the yard and ghouse in this situation.

if i keep them outside, i can move them around and maximize full sun exposure to 8-10hrs. As I am home most days, I usually give them the 8+hrs of full sun.

I know the best option (for best yield) is to move them around for maximum exposure, but I wanted others' opinions/insight.

Should I
1- put it in the greenhouse and stop fussing with constantly moving them around and whatnot--rains will b coming in a few wks and these are late finishing sativas, so i like the idea of the protection the gh will provide.
2- leave them in the yard and let them get the 4hrs full and th rest partial shade
3- move them around for maximum exposure
4- YOUR input, options I am overlooking, etc.

Thanks and stay safe as we come closer to harvest season!
