Substrate Composition
PM = Peat-mix
G30 = Peat-mix substituted with 30% green fiber
CC = Pure Coco Coir Fiber
*DAP = Days After Planting
Mean (average) Plant Height of Genotypes Studied
Different Substrates Impact Above and Below Ground



Researchers Conclusion
A limiting effect on the CBD/A content enacted by the different substrates could not be confirmed.

It can be concluded that the use of organic green fibers to partly replace the fractionated peat showed a genotype-specific option for constant plant development, a comparable high biomass yield and a stable cannabinoid content, compared to a peat containing standard substrate.
