Powdery mildew is seen on a Banana Split cannabis plant grows in a backyard legal home grow which includes cannabis strains Meatbreath, Hulk Angry, Banana Split, Platinum Punch Remix times Platinum Kush Mints, Platinum Punch, Strawberries and Cream, and Runtz, in Springfield, Massachusetts, on Wed., Oct. 14, 2020. Outdoor grows are susceptible to various garden issues including mildew and caterpillars, but Mike, who helps oversee the grow, says that those can be mitigated with proper gardening technique. The crop has sustained a drought this year in Massachusetts and recent storm bursts including 70 mph winds, and a couple of the plants have reached 12 feet tall. The plants will all be harvested in the next week before cold fall weather arrives or more drenching rainstorms hit the area.
