"Majestic earth" brand peat moss. I bought a big bag of it for repotting some other plants, and I'm wondering if I can use the rest for repotting CP's eventually.

It says it's "organic" on it, and I couldn't find any info about any additives.

If I like the LFS better I may not even use this stuff lol. It was only 9 bucks for 3 cu. ft. though so I don't mind.

Yep, that stuff should be good. I'd still recommend flushing it with water a few times (preferably low TDS water) to get out any minerals. We normally use low TDS water (about 35ppm) and repeatedly flush until the TDS of the runoff water measures less than 75ppm or so. We do this with all of the peat moss we sell and ship to FTS customers. It's a bit of added labor, but it could save the plants from potential mineral poisoning.
