You’re talking about the difference between keeping it organic and not. Definitely a choice.
I think they are both organic
Buds and bloom : Fish Bone Meal (5-13-0) with 1% Calcium
Plant food Stonington Blend Plant Food ( 5-2-4 )

I’ve been using COM for the last few years in my perennial garden. And only COM for cannabis so I can’t compare it to other brands or incorporating other brands with COM but if you want my advice I would use the plant food for 1-2 feeds and then switch over to the fish bone meal for 1-2 feedings till they’re done. Oops! I lied, I do use the Down to Earth Seabird guano (I think it’s 0-11-0?) 1 feed for a final boost. I find that when using the COM you don’t have to overfeed, or water a lot and they look healthy and lush.

Here’s a Sour Diesel in 25 gallons of CoM Stonington Blend. I’ve been feeding compost tea weekly and fertilized according to the feeding schedule about two weeks ago. I’m mostly
Sticking to the schedule but They want a little more nitrogen coming into the last few weeks before full flower.

If your bags have the OMRI seal on them then they are organic. Buyer beware, just because it says organic doesn’t mean it is. Do your research. Know what’s in it and why it’s in it. I am still a grasshopper for sure!

True. Organic labeling standards are anything but standard. I’m constantly amazed Fox Farm is allowed to label in the manner they do

I’m using it in 7 gal. bags in a tent, autos. My first grow with tent, seeds and soil. So far - I’m only into day 44 am I am looking good. I’ve LSTd one White Widow, left a Blueberry and Northern Lights totally alone and had a Blueberry runt but come back REAL strong. I really like the soil. I’ve used the COM organic fertilizer once on all. Gave their worm cast once. And the 2 that are flowering now, COM Fish Meal. I’m used to outdoor grows but I really like what I’m seeing from COM and indoors! I’ve thought of trying FF HP and OF but don’t know…

Most people would say making your own soil with local amendments is the best way to go. There are plenty of places that promote that. Build a soil is a reputable company, and I have used them. Coast of Maine has a good reputation if you buy your own soil. As far as the question of whether you have to amend it or not, you probably will. If your goal is living soil you will need to amend it to feed the microbes, who in turn feed the plants. Here is a little printout of it.
If you just want to buy a soil and be done with it then I would go with Build a soil or Coast of Maine. Hope that helps you.
Peace…
