Peat Moss Amendment
Peat moss amendment refers to the incorporation of decomposed sphagnum moss into cannabis growing media to improve water retention, aeration, and pH buffering. This organic material, accumulated over thousands of years in anaerobic conditions, has long been a standard component in professional and hobbyist cultivation substrates. Peat moss typically comprises 30–50% of commercial soilless mixes and coco-based blends used in controlled environment agriculture. The material's acid nature (pH 3.5–4.5) requires careful balancing with lime or other pH adjusters to reach target ranges for cannabis cultivation. Breeders and commercial growers evaluate substrate composition as part of phenotype expression research, since growing media directly influences root zone chemistry, nutrient availability, and plant architecture.

Substrate formulation, including peat moss ratios, is standardized in controlled breeding trials to isolate genetic traits from environmental variables. Consistency in media composition allows breeders to reliably observe morphology, flowering time, and nutrient uptake patterns across seed lines and clones.
