Soil question EB Stone 420 recipe

WIthout taking a long drive, Fox Farms Ocean Forest would cost me around $40 a 1.5 cubic foot bag. There is a hydro store a bit of a drive but last year I think I paid $21 or so for a bag.

Green Acres Nursery sells EB Stone 420 Formula, the regular and one called Bhang, which is cheaper than the regular 420. I bought a bag since I will need more soil for transplanting soon, and used some for tomatoes and strawberries. I did notice the soil (or something) is burning my strawberries, I dunno, maybe because they are in direct sun all day they are burning? Tomatoes seem ok, the soil doesn't seem to have perlite and dries out relatively fast.

Who has used the 420 Bhang soil with weed, and if so any burning issues? I have read it may be a hot soil, even compared to Ocean Forest, which I haven't had issues with. If it's an issue I'll wait and take the long drive for FF. Or....would the regular 420 be ok? It's like $5 more than the Bhang. I'm just so used to Ocean Forest so I'm afraid of different soil causing issues.

Here's more info on the 420 Bhang:

Since no one seemed to have an answer, I bought a bag of the regular 420 and had a half bag of Bhang to use as well, transplanted today. It was the perfect time, roots had filled the small pots (2 gallons maybe?). I did talk to a few people at green acres about the difference, the 420 is a little more expensive ($16 versus $12 for the Bhang) but the reason is the plain 420 is organic, and Bhang is not. I can't really figure out what ingredients make that difference. But I've read elsewhere the soil is great quality, the Green acres folks said some think it's better than Ocean Forest for cannabis. We'll see
