Regular soil + sheep dung vs Coco coir with nutes (pics)

Check it out. So here's my story: I began growing with indoors and I went to a weed fest where I was given free coco coir substrate and nutes and so I grew my first auto plants with it and the results were satisfactory. I realize now that that coco coir had something in it, like nutes already, since it said not to feed the plant in 1 month.
Well, I know used coco coir again, but just regular one and all of my plants got stunted until I realized through this forum that it needed to be constantly soaked.

The plant on the left grew in coco coir and got stunted after 3 weeks, and now is 10 weeks old and starting to flourish, it will yield very little. The one on the right is 4 weeks old and growing in soil I bought in a nursery mixed with sheep dung. I used 30% more dung than recommended and haven't added any nutes in 4 weeks. It is growing strong, super green and beautiful with 0 deficiencies and very little care and waterings. I think coco coir is bullshit, I think its purpose is money grabbing. They are both growing with natural sunlight in my balcony overlooking a Mexican beach, I only use supplementary led lighting at night to keep them vegging. They are both Choco Candy by Zambeza. The stunted one has more sativa-like leafs but I don't know if is is due to the nute deficiency-stunted growth. Check for yourselves:

right I use to grow in coco ha but my pops facilitated the purchase of everything and just had me do the labor most the time. I also was like 16 so not really understanding what I worked with. we grew amazing cannabis with it. pounds! @coreywebster
 
after a few nights of research I'm ready to make a decision on what grow medium I want. just realizing I need to save a little more for the coco and everything else I need for it.

Say whatever you want, but with regular soil and sheep dung I'm getting pro results with little effort.
