Need advice:potting mix

Hello all!

I am not new to gardening, but am new to seed starting. I have a mini-greenhouse in my basement that is heated and covered. In my excitement to begin this year's garden, I've made some mistakes that I am fixing, going much by information found here (thank you!), as well as a few other gardening sites.

My main problem, I think, is moisture/humidity. I started my seeds too early, and when I went for potting soil, could only find "garden" soil. Now my plants aren't doing as well as they should, and one of my planned fixes is to replant in better-draining potting mix. The problem is that when I went to my local store, they didn't have it out yet; I paid for it sight-unseen, and when I picked it up at the garden center, found out it is Miracle Gro Moisture Control. So much for my organic garden...

I'm wondering if I should go ahead and just use this soil, or should I take the time (and drive) to go get some organic potting mix? I really want my seedlings to thrive!

Thanks for any and all advice yoiu give!
