You don't need a scientific answer.

Rackitman just gave you your answer.
Miracle grow organic is simply too "hot" for seedlings

As a result,they fail to develop a decent root ball.
That means they can not transpire rapidly enough to keep from drowning.
Root need water, and air.

So, overfed and overwatered.

Might be salvageable.
Try gently rinsing the soil from the roots and repotting in moist, (not wet), starting soil.
Sunshine mix #4 seems cool enough to start seeds in.
When the roots fill the first 16 oz. container, you can transplant into FFOF, or MG if you wish.

When it's through with the cotyledons it will discard them.
Best not to interfere, she's got enough trouble, yah?
