I only want one of them to be growing at the moment but could not see anything on the commercial tab to make a colony neither a destination or a source of colonists.
That's because it doesn't exist. In fact, it's even worse (unless Steve has changed the DB recently) - if a population is below 25 million, then it will ignore any attempts to set it as a source (rather than a destination). You can check if this is still the case by clicking "source" on the tab for a small colony, then closing F2 and looking at it in the tab again. If the feature is still in place, then the radio button will have magically set itself back to "destination".
Basically, those pesky civilians will settle where they want to, even if you tell them not to. The only control you have is whether or not to populate a colony in the first place.
