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. ✌️

Defoliation As these plants are entering flower stage should I defoliate more heavily? I am afraid to remove too many fan leaves as I don’t want to impact growth. I did some very light defoliation and it was well tolerated. Any advise?

I want to do some controlled pollination but prevent pollen from blowing to other branches while doing it. Anybody ever tried mixing pollen with water and pouring that water over the buds. I also wonder if it could be frozen in this form if it works.
