Miracle Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix

Hi,
I started growing a few months ago, but my seedlings would always die in only a couple weeks.
I'm about to start up again, but before i do, i wanna figure out what i did wrong.

The only thing i could think of was the soil i was using.
Has anyone tried
Miracle Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix?
Scotts® Miracle Gro® Organic Choice Potting Mix (72983650) - Soil & Conditioners - Ace Hardware

I know a lot of people don't like miracle Gro, but it was the only type of soil my hardware store had and since it was "organic" i didn't think it would be too bad for it.

Could this be an issue?

All-natural fertilizer derived from poultry litter provides both starting and slow-release feeding for up to 3 months

You're problem sir.

DO NOT use MG anything, I learned this the hard way starting my grow, they grew fine for a few weeks, then I started seeing deficiencies and bug problems. I will not ever be using anything from MG for my MJ ever again. Atm I have each plant in a 5 gal pot with Sunshine MIx #4.
