I had similar results with Jiffy Mix. Seeds grow faster and bigger for me in Scott's Seed Starting mix (I got it at Home Depot). There are a couple of threads on this from a few months ago. Don't wait for the second set of leaves on your smaller seedlings. Plant them up to the cotyledons in Scott's Seed Starting Mix (along with the ones with 2 sets of leaves) and they should be 5"-6" tall by April 15th. You will see them perk up in 2 to 3 days after you replant them.
