2-3 days and water it in that to where that line is.

How much Miracle-Gro (per gal) are you using? Not a fan of MG for my indoor garden. If you're using MG every watering, it's probably too much. Try flushing the soil with plain water a time or two.

Yeah, man, my first instinct is too much M-G. Give them a good flush. Water them without the M-G until you see a good flow out the bottom of the pot. Same next watering. After that, only use the M-G every other watering.
Miracle-Gro is 24-8-16 (I think, I don't have it in front of me). THat's pretty concentrated and can lead to pretty salty soil if you're not careful. I think there's a mixture for indoor plants (because they are confined to pots) on the label that's much more diluted -- you may want to try that

Its way too often in my opinion, unless you have a heap of perlite, and drainage.
Which by the looks of it you don't.
You don't have much choice, but to dry it right out for several days, before watering.
That droopyness looks like lack of aeration at the rootzone to me.
Water less often. Let the centre of the pot where your roots are dry out some more, before watering again. Id give it a good 4 or 5 days, even up to a week.
Next grow, id suggest adding a heap more drainage, and aeration.
Happy growing, plant looks really nice. Just a little over watered is all.
Peace,
Tim.

I’m confused .. you said water them without the M-G ??????

My thought was overfeeding, Tim says overwatering -- probably both. To incorporate Tim's advice, let it dry out for a couple days. Then flush with *no* M-G (you want to rinse out what may have built up). Then follow up with watering less often with less M-G.

Yes I picked that up, but I think there was some confusion
I've never used Miracle Grow soil except out in the Tomato patch but I would just feed plain pH'ed water, and judge by how the plant looks going forward before I started adding any nutrients again?
Good luck
