yes it will, but you have to add ALL of the nutrients, simply because there is no soil to provide it, this method of growing is called a hempy bucket.
it is actualy a great growing medium because of its balanced PH, 50/50 mix is what it use for my hempy buckets.
search "hempy bucket" and you will get all the info you want and more, personaly i love them

Good medium imo.
The peat moss probably aids in moisture retention. Id bet it gives you a tad more lee-way when watering time comes.
Half perlite, half vermiculite will drain so fast! Careful of getting too dry. That mix sounds almost like a hydro medium

I was just reading an article in skunk mag(I think). They recomended 3 parts perlite to 1 part vermiculite instead of the half and half I always see here on the net. You can use this in hempy buckets or drain to waist just like soil. Either way it should be a good simple hydro medium.
