What is a good over the counter soil for transplanting seedlings from trays to 3" pots. The garbage peat mix I'm using wont even absorb water.

You need to put it in 5 gal bucket with water and let it soak overnight. It gets hydrophobic once it dries out. Or just get a block of coco coir.

Fox farms and promix are both good, but expensive. I usually just mix miracle grow organic with perlite and peat moss - for up potting.

This is our first attempt, but I bought some Miracle Grow Starter soil. The tomatoes my wife planted about a week ago are getting close to an inch tall.
At what point should she transplant these to a 3" cup?

Since Walmart started carrying ProMix, that’s mostly what I use for OTC.
For tomatoes and peppers, I don’t bother with starting mix, I just use ProMix and add a little vermiculite.
Garden Status, Ozarks:
-Tons of Yarrow ready for the yard, as I’m slowly converting my steep backyard to yarrow.
-Flower starts ready to plant once this severe weather is over (Viola, Blanket Flower, Globe Amaranth, Marigolds)
-Peas direct sown last Friday are up, let’s hope for no hail
-Lettuce trays are about 2wks out from garden transplant
-Starting tomato and pepper seeds today.
