I have a bag of miracle grow moisture control, havent used it yet, because plants are in the ground, but I really dont think it could be that bad, to kill and mutilate your plants. no offence but I think you may have caused these, because John is growing his fine. So dont blame miracle grow just becuase one of your plants dies, because most of the time its the growers fault, not the soil. Grow on growers : )
