Should I stop adding nutrients when watering cause I’m using miracle grow “soil” and I feel like it my plant can’t take it.. and as it seem it’s over waters so I’m not going to water for a few days or more.. it’s a 3gallon pot and is this good drainage or should I add more holes ? Help!! Any pointers would help

Holy shit that is a sad plant!
I'm assuming massively overwatered as a start!
Make sure your only w as teeing when the soil is DRY. Most new growers are afraid to let the dirt dry out, and that's when they hurt the plant first.

Imma share a bit about my style so maybe you can copy it.
I use big pots but you can do it on any size.. but I NEED to do it on this 30 gallon pot. Any ways, I drill holes along the side and cover it with duct tape, so I can peal it back an visually see the water level (wet dirt looks differant than dry dirt) and at the bottom of the pot I cut a hole big enough to stick my finger in.

I dont water till that finger hole is almost dry, an in such a big pot that can take a little while, 4 days on average, but it's also a massive plant that gonna give me over a lb by itself.

Next grow dont use that miracle grow... it's got a horrible reputation for a reason an your looking at it! If you wanna go cheap like I do, goto a nursery and buy a premium potting soil. You'll probably pay around 20$, but you'll get a huge bag. It will be worth every cent! For your nutrients in veg get a cheap 20-20-20. Theres a lot of brands that cost 5-10$$ , dont blow your wad on nutrients!
For flower it's a bit harder to find a cheap fix, but look for a 1-5-4 if you can find it or something as close as possible to that.

NOTHING TIME RELEASED.

Ditch that Miracle Grow with time released nutes....if you want to try to resucitate her, then don't add more nutes....I would say to flush, but with those time released ferts, it won't do you any good, they'll just keep leaching out nutrients to your soil....Miracle Grow used to be a viable option years ago before the whole time release formula came out...ever since, it's total shit. And that's the reason.
