Bagged super soil questions - looking at Coast of Maine

I hope this is the right spot for this thread - had some trouble finding the right sub forum for it.

For my first couple of grows I am hoping to use a bagged super soil to avoid the hassle of mixing/making my own. I understand its going to be more expensive this way but hoping it simplifies the process a little bit. I've done some reading across multiple forums and it seems that Coast of Maine is pretty popular, so that is the direction I am leaning towards. I am definitely open to other suggestions though if you have something you prefer.

I've read that it is a really heavy soil, what are suggestions for cutting it down so that it drains better? I will be running these in 5 gallon fabric pots. I'll likely be starting in their seed start before transplanting to the 5 gal pot with the stonington blend.

Mostly just looking for advice here so I don't completely screw up my first grow! Thanks!

Maine is great it's my home!

I only grow out my outdoor smoke in my vegetable garden so I buy bulk load compost from a local farm, but I have only heard positive things about Coast of Maine, it is quite popular.

Adding in perlite will improve drainage in most any medium.

Use whatever soil you want. They will all need nutrients unless you build a soil and let it cook etc.

Use your coast of Maine and find some nutrients that you want to use.

if you want to stay organic there’s cheap and easy like Jobes organic.

For me, their bar harbor blend is way better than their stonington blend, and it's 1/3 the price. The bar harbor blend will take you all the way through flower if you do your final up-pot (2) weeks before you flip. But if you do the same thing with the stonington blend, you will need to top dress with com stonington blend plant food, and some com fish bone meal at around week five to make it through flower!
