using peat isn't nearly as bad as people think.
1.) we'll never run out of peat
2.) theres peat conservation projects (ex. you can't harvest all the peat in a area - as mentioned above)
3.) theres national parks with like hundreds of square miles of peat bogs.
4.) spagnum moss isn't peat moss.
5.) your silly if you think using peat is horrible.

no sense arguing
your right it damages eco systems using it
and coco is a biproduct your doing the world a favor by using.
I just don't have the same eco values as you.

coir is also a biproduct so it's use is beneficial and I'd prefer using it over peat but that's just me.

Does this acts as a normal soil, and mean you dont fertilize it and add just micronutes to the grow?
And why would you use spaghnum instead of peat? Any difference?
with that kind of mix you probably wouldn't feed till a few weeks into flowering.

soaking for 20+ hours (24 same shit) makes the acidity neutralize so you don't burn your plants from a pH flucuation... incase anyone was wondering.
this goes for any N hot fertilizers that may be acidic.

molasses is for natural carbohydrates, I'm sure it's full of nutrients too but it has a lot of sugars and stuff in it so your plants will taste better.

im assuming during flowering would be most vital as that's when people use carbo load products.
id say during flowering up to the last 2-3 weeks.
