Miracle grow mix is fine for the novice backyard grower. Especially for tc'.

This mix is affordable and one of the best mix's for plants.

As for watering requirements of a young banans plant.....it is the same as a seedling tomatoe...or cannibis or beans. If you can relate to that ......your good.
Not sure that's completely true about water requirements of bananas being the same as tomato seedlings. I can have a very wet soil for seedlings and they thrive. Heck I can grow tomatoes in 100% compost and they thrive and I can't say the same for bananas as it would retain too much water and cause rot.

As for miracle grow, I can't stand that stuff and I would never recommend their horrible products. If I have to buy a retail potting mix it is Pro Mix but I prefer to make my own as it is cheaper and I can tailor it to my own needs. Miracle Grow is CRAP!!!
