Do Any Of You Have A Preference Between Roots Organic Original Soil And Their GreenFields Soil For an Indoor Tent Grow?

I am setting up a 5x5 veg and 5x5 flower tent soon, and am planning on using 5 gallon fabric pots filled with either Roots Organic Original Soil, or their GreenFields Soil.

I messaged them on instagram, and they said the GreenFields has an extra week or 2 of nutrients in it, but holds more water. Original is quicker draining so you can do more frequent feedings.

Im curious which one you guys think would be better? Im planning on keeping it simple and feeding with only Gaia 444 and 284, and possibly brewing compost teas.

Thanks!

I always use Roots Organic over all the rest. Theres a cult following with this potting mix because all it needs is pure water. Super question thanks friend.

I really appreciate the reply!

When the you use the Roots Organic brand, do you use their original soil blend, or a different blend like Roots Organic greenfields or Roots Organic 707?

And also, do you use absolutely nothing but pure water for the entire grow and get good results? No Top dressing or compost teas even? Do you grow in a tent, and what size containers do you use?

I use either Roots or FFOF, which ever is available or cheaper at my local store.

Original soil blend, and water only until the EC drops below the good EC range. When the EC drops below 1000 ppm I supplement.
