Transplant them into the Scott's, asap, because that MG is killing them. IDK whether it's acidic, or what, but it just looks plain unhealthy, and the plants aren't liking it. It might be okay for bigger plants, but doesn't seem to do the trick, for seedlings. It doesn't even look like soil, it looks like wood chips.lol Anyway, it doesn't sound like you are overwatering or underwatering, so I'd say it's the soil.(as long as your water PH/PPM is okay)

Does the Scott's actually look like soil?lol I've never used it, but will recommend that you add perlite to it before using, especially since it's labeled "moisture advantage". That's pretty much telling you that it holds moisture well, which isn't desirable for growing cannabis. Add at least 10% perlite(20-25% is better), or there will be a good liklihood that you'll run into overwatering issues, and possible premature acidity, due to the soil always being damp.

Your soil mix looks a bit coarse for seedlings. You have them in the proper size container, make sure you have really good drainage, but transplant then into some type of potting mix that you can add perlite to. In some of your pics, there's huge chunks of hard dirt and wood, that's hard for roots to get established in those conditions.

Avoid that miracle grow.... I have bought bags to test their PH for fun and they are random as hell. 4-7 sometimes.... Thats a joke Also I hate MG because it is like pure bark and crap. I sift the soil to remove large chunks for seedlings for my catnip,basil,etc (only stuff I use it on) and I lose half my bag. Buy some Fox farm, Roots organic, promix, or another different quality soil and start over Let me know if you need anymore help
