Smaller than expected, help?

A question from a fellow grower:

After germination 1 did not make it, sad.
4 started to grow in soil. I used miracle grow to grow the four that survived. 3 seemed to be doing awesome but 1 is stunting in growth. The three larger are 5 in tall and the runt is two in tall. Now the plant are getting spots on the on the leaves. The runt it’s leaves are turning white and the larger plants are getting brown spots and the lower leaves are turning white.

I have a meter that looks at light, water, and PH. The plants are outdoors in 72deg with lots of sun. Water is between 4 and 7 on the scale, ph was above 7 but I added peat moss to the plans soil to try and bring it down to 6-7.

Please help before I loose them all this is my first attempt and want to make this work.

They have been growing sine Feb 1 and I would have thought they be much bigger.

It’s your soil miracle grow is to hot for seedling.
if you get some clean soil no nutrient free or very little like 0.085 - 0.15 -0.10
and transplant them as so as you can
