potting soil problems

If you have been using a commercial mix right out of the bag have you had any problems with seed flats sprouting but not growing. Tomato tops curling or bottlebrush roots. Potted plugs of annual or perennials starting to grow but then start to look bad and when you pull them up they have no new root development.

This started for us about 3 years ago until this year I lost much of my spring crop. Our water has been tested and retested and is ok. No herbicide drift either. Even replacement plugs looked bad when transplanted. Have had potting soil company replace soil and formulate product for us. University specialists visiting us are of the opinion that it is a media pH problem. Potting soil company says NO! Also says nobody else has a problem. Meanwhile I am out of profit for the year!!
