Cannabis needs 18 elements in total to maintain proper health. Fifteen of those are nutrients. NPK are macronutrients, and then you have micronutrients such as copper, boron, and sulphur.

Yes but they won’t be nearly as big, swolent, smelly, and potent as of you grow with supplementary nutrients.
You need to make a super soil or buy soils and layer them In a large pot, go from 1 gallon to 5 gallon to like 15 or 20 gallon

Im growing in 100% peat soil
You will need nutrients. I suggest picking one line (Advanced Nutrients, Fox Farm) and following their schedule at 1/2 of the recommended amounts. Nute manufacturers schedules are often very aggressive and may lead to nute burn.
It’s best to stick with one line (manufacturer) so that you are dosing the proper amount of both macronutrients and micronutrients.

So peat soil can damage my plants!?
Peat soil should be fine. Be sure to monitor your pH. Peat turns acidic as it decays.
No it won’t, it’s a soil less medium but it compresses over time so 30-50 perlite would have been more ideal due to plants like airey soil.
You will need nutrients to grow.
Go to your local hydro shop and get something on sale and then for future grows look into Jack’s nutrients or chemgro 4-20-39

Is there a specific reason you want to use peat as a growing medium? Doesn’t it make sense to start with your goal and/or problem, and choose solutions that address them?
You cannot deprive the plant of the essentials: Light, fresh air, and macro/micro nutrients. You don’t need to get extremely technical with any of them, but you need to address all three to a minimal degree. Bagged soil is the easiest solution to the last essential; some are better than others, but most garden centers will have the components of a good mixture if they don’t sell cannabis-optimimized soils already. With a good soil you can add plain water through the entire grow.

Peat is the only good mixture that i have, im growing in a greenhouse, and i also made home made stinging nettle fertilizer which i will use soon. I am considering to buy some fertilizer and mix peat with humus.
Pest is fine, just mix it with some vermiculite or perlite.
No idea what type of fertilizer that is but if you want advice best stick to a brand name well known fertilizer either that cannabis growers know or your local hydro store knows
If you’re going to stick with peat, and I don’t recommend sticking with it, you need to add fertilizers to your water. Pick a product line and stick with that. General Hydroponics is inexpensive and perfectly adequate. There are many other options out there, but I don’t know what you have available to you.
You also need to pH your water so the nutrients are available. That’s why I strongly encourage you to reconsider and go with soil.

Please correct me if I am mistaken, but aside from issues with compacting, doesn’t peat also become VERY acidic as it decomposes?

I must google it
Stinging nettle for a cannabis plant? Never heard of using that. I know a lot of people who drink it themselves though.
