7 Pot Yellow and SB MOA Yellow

S

ShowMeDaSauce

First time growing these and im curious how much light they prefer. 1 of the MOA Yellows will be in the ground and the other in a large pot. The 7 Pot will be in a large pot. I have room for 9 pots with drip irrigation and planned on putting all those near a fence that will block afternoon sun. I have room on my deck for a couple that will get full sun all day.
 
The small ground plot gets full sun most of the day and its small enough i can use a shade screen if needed.
 
So what is likely the best place for these? It can get pretty hot here by mid July and it can be brutal in August.
 
My plants get only four hours of full sun between 8am-12pm and are in 30L pots. All have grown around four foot tall (still growing) and have plenty of fruit. My advice would be to give them plenty of morning sun and avoid the afternoon sun after lunchtime. Good luck
 
Last year my orange hab produced pods like mad in full sun and its was a fairly small plant. The lemon drops though seemed to like a little afternoon shade by late July. Serranos all did well in full sun.

farmers grow plants in field with all day sun. i wouldn't worry about the sun too much unless you are in desert like arizona

I have definite production drop off with most of the Chinense I've grown during the peak of summer here, and our temps are usually only mid-high 90's so it's a definite possibility that too much sun/heat is possible.
