Hi there, I'm doing my first grow this summer with Dutch Passion's Auto Mazar strain. I am doing it quite discretely so I am digging holes and lining them with 5 gallon grow bags with drainage holes and filling them with my growing medium. For nutes, I am using the General Organics Starter Kit Box. Should I use;
PRO-MIX ALL PURPOSE OUTDOOR PLANTING MIX:

or
PRO-MIX ALL PURPOSE CONTAINER PLANTING MIX:

They both sound like they have benefits to each, for example, the outdoor planting mix contains mychorrizae, and the container planting mix contains extra water retention. The water retention would be good for me because I do not plan on visiting my sites daily, although I will be checking on them a few times a week. I do not quite understand what the benefits of mycorrizae are but I have heard it is really good..
Using the grow bags in the ground, would I benefit more from the mycorrizae or the water retention?
I know there are many better soils and things I could use such as Fox Farms Ocean Forrest and others, but for accessibility and price reasons, I have narrowed it down to either of these, so if you have any input please share!
