Advantages of soil?

So I'm planning on doing an outdoor grow this spring. I am join to veg inside until clones are about 18" tall. Then transplanting outside after the last frost. I have been contemplating the use of either a soil or a soilless mix. It seems that with a soil mix the soil provides notes for a while then you have to start adding your own. And with a soilless mix you must feed the entire time (after the first week or so after germing). So getting to my question, are the only advantages of a soil mix those first few weeks of auto feeding. Just as a side note I will be growing the Dr's Iranian Autoflower. Thank you.

P.S. I want to go completely organic

Unless your version of 'outdoor' means walking from your back porch to a spot less than 10 feet away.....

stick with soil.

People say that bud grown in soil / coco tastes better than hydro.

I have never done the comparison myself as I have yet to taste hydro, but this is an issue that is been debated since people started using hydro :P

GOOD soil feeds for much longer than just a couple weeks...using subcool's supersoil you can do entire grows without ever adding a single nutrient.
