Is peat moss good to use as a replacement for Coco...

TheOneWhoKnocksstarted grow question 7y ago

Is peat moss good to use as a replacement for Coco coir or regular potting mix? I plan to add nutrients or amending my own soil if you will, but will peat moss work in a pinch?

You can use just peat but it's usually better added to things. I have a few potted plants that do well with it but they're not cannabis. If you do use it, be careful of overwatering since it stays moist a long while and it's pretty acidic too. ✌️

Hey guys, I’ve seen some posts where the plant is of an auto flower type, where the growers have topped it. I’ve also heard from many people that if I top my autoflower it will cause stress and flower? Any help clarifying this? 🙈

Too much foliage? Not too sure.Should I thin this out? The canopy is about 8" deep, so 4 layers of foliage. It looks like it's still a bit much. Should I wait for the stretch to finish up and then defoliate properly? Am I being overly analytical Just need to double check with the professionals. Thanks!
