Organic soil advice

Hello i currently run a RDWC and know a bit about hydro (4th grow) and the cannabis plant itself. I've done lots and lots of reading but don't have much/any experience growing in growing in soil, I have a few auto seeds of different strains and would like to plant them in some type of super soil (something minimal work only water as close to fully organic as possible). However I know creating super soil takes time before you plant, I'd like to get my seeds going in around a week if possible which I know is not a lot of time... so what are my options? Can I use a bag of organic and mix in some type of super soil amendment already made? I plan on going to garden shop later today to see what I can find... at some point next grow I may look into mixing my own soil but im kinda crunched for time. P.S. I'm basically trying my own experiment with soil vs hydro when it comes to taste and smell, ive got some autos in the tent but they wont be done for a few weeks, I would like to start maybe 2 diff autos diff strains and then once harvest comes I would like to buy photo seeds and run a 2 plant rdwc, if timed right I want to flower my autos while photos are vegging. Anyone have any experience with Hydro vs. Soil vs. Super soil in terms of taste/quality? I definitely don't mind doing my own research but idea's and more things to look into are always greatly appreciated!! Thank you

I’ve run a “super soil” for a handful of grows, looks great taste great, yeilds less and takes longer to finish, these were my results. You can establish the relationship between plant and soil during the veg stage, you don’t HAVE to “cook” organic super soils per se.

Never did hydro so i cannot compare them but super soil and organics in general definitely tastes great. You can just get a bag of amended soil and run with it if you don’t have the time to mix your own. Some good brands i‘ve used were: plagron, biobizz and canna. Also people seem to love fox farms ocean forest.
 
Awesome thank you guys, sorry for all the questions, but i know they don't require enough nutes throughout the whole grow.. so something along the lines of top dressing every couple weeks once bigger right? And maybe what type of amendments/top dress do you guys prefer using? TIA very grateful for answers

You can use a cup of ewc with 1-2 tbsp of bat guano for top dressing and water the plants with molasses (mixed 1 tbsp for each gallon). Also you can give them seaweed/kelp extract with their molasses water.
