I have been using Miracle Gro Seed Starting Potting Mix to germinate, which works great, but I am also using it to pot up until the plants are ready to go into the ground.

I am not happy with its performance - it tends to get water logged, and take ages to dry, which rots roots and slows growth. It also encourages white flies due to the water logged character.

What are affordable, better soils I can use to pot up from the germination tray?
