first grow need help please

Ok so heres the deal i have 4 plants total. 3 of them are in the organic miracle gro mix, and the last one is in the garden soil mix. when my first planted my seedlings i used the garden soil then 2 weeks after i repotted them in to their 3 gallon pots but i kept 1 as an experiment in the non organic mix. its been a week since i moved them to the new soil and the only one the didnt stop growing was the one in the garden soil the other 3 in the organic soil are the same size they were a week ago. and their botton leaves are starting to fall appart kind of.

so my question was since its obvious why they stopped growing is there any way i can transplant them to new soil? and save them? i tested ph with this crappy walmart tester and they were both at about the same. so i dont know i just want them out of that soil but i dont know if i will end up disturbing the roots to much. i could really use some advice please! dont wanna lose my babies :[

first one is of my plants

this is the good soil

this is the bad soil, also came with little bugs. AVOID THIS SOIL(unless you know wtf youre doing)
 
I would try giving them some liquid nutrients before re-planting them. I am having some problems currently because of the miracle grow organic soil and it seems to be because it really doesn't have much in the way of nutrients. I have been giving my plants very small doses of fox farm grow big and that seems to be helpings with the miracle grow organic soil a lot.

If you can't do that then I would definitely recommend re planting them. It should have been long enough that you can re plant them without hurting them to bad. They just may be a little more shocked then normal so don't be surprised if they don't grow for a day or two after the re plant.
 
i actually did give 1 of them some general hydro nutes and a fairly good dose of it too and it didnt do anything. i just came to the conclusion that i want them out of that soil but i dont want to hurt them.

is there any way to clone them since they are that small?
 
i flushed them once, they have been like that for a week, if i dont do something they will slowly die :[ , so i still dont know if its a ph deal or nute deficiency.

Well miracle grow organic soil is known for fucking with PH and PH problems can lead to nute block out and ultimately nute deficiency. From looking at your pictures and my personal experience that's still what I would be leaning towards. Can you take some closer up pictures of the damaged leaves on the plant to get a better idea?

As for cloning them the best way to do that since they are so small would be to instead of cloning a branch cut off the whole top several nodes and root those like you would a normal clone

i use MG organic garden, can be good, but has quirks
one thing about it, it's big time acidic, that may be your issue, used it straight?
the cheap ph meters often give bad results, be wary of trusting what it says without someway of verifying it
i mix in dolomite to help with ph, but it works better as a soil additive than as a top dressing
 
thanks for the advice guys i switched one of them to another soil a couple days ago and until today it started growing again, but very slowly. but then again its better than nothing haha. i think im just gonna repot them, im getting a new soil tomorrow hopefully.
