Using Wood-Fiber Soil For Cannabis

Has anyone used wood-fiber soils? Did you have good results? Any issues? I just wondered about the use of wood fiber for cannabis. I did a little checking and saw that peat moss is said to increase porosity, airflow, water-flow and -retention of wood fiber substrates, see Substrates on trial: wood fiber in the spotlight The article concludes that up to 20% peat moss in a wood-fiber substrate actually integrates the soil beneficially.

I'd be interested to hear any experiences or any thoughts on wood-fiber as a soil component.

Many of the bagged soil mixes that have 'forest' products mixed in have well decomposed wood in them. Fox Farms Ocean Forest as an example says it has Aged Forest Products in it and I have always figured that it is just rotting wood.

Peat Moss is sticks, stems, leaves and all kinds of dead trees that have been sitting in a peat bog for centuries slowly decomposing. We could call the peat is a wood fiber soil amendment.

Adding the other amendments is what makes the wood-fiber soils so useful.
