Is organic soil better than regular soil?

[Hypnotic420]

I’m on my second grow and I was wondering if organic is better than regular soil? I have only used organic and I have noticed that the soil stays moist longer than my house plants that have regular. During my first grow, one plant could never dry out no matter what I tried, then developed root rot and died. The other plant I was growing lived until harvest but I cut back the amount of water a lot to keep the soil drying out. Instead of a once a week I was doing 3 days with 1/3 of the water. I’m noticing one of my 3 plants are constantly damp and I haven’t given it water for almost a week. It seems like the same cycle. The only thing I question is the soil.

What are you using for pots and do you use perlite in your soil?

Yeah I mixed it in to soil. Not the first that died, I found out about that before I started this grow.

IMO, If you need to wait more than 48 hours before you need to water then your soil is not aerated enough.
You should have about 35% of your soil composed of Pumice, Rice Hulls and Precharged Biochar.
And put in fabric pots with air space under it.
If you go a step further and go No-Till in 15+ gallon fabric pots and use cover crop and worms then your soil tilth will get to where you will water every single day just like coco.
