Miraclegro will usually kill seedlings, and many plants.

I recommend any soil labeled as a "seed starting mix" as it will not contain much nutrients. This is what burns the young plants.

Soilless mixes are best suited for this. There are may options, and you can make them yourself! This article will help:
