Browning leaves
Overall, this plant is doing ok. I’ve been paying attention to soil for when to water. I noticed the tips of some leaves are browning. I was using a grow lamp. Should I lower the time? It’s on for 6-9 hours. Maybe it should be 1-3. It’s near a window, but not direct light. Thank you!

@CopiousCat55 I don’t think it’s the grow light because the browning looks more like overwatering damage than a burn from too much light. Having said that, how close is your plant to the grow light? I have all my nerve plants under grow lights for 10-12 hours a day and mine do not have the browning on the leaves. My grow lights are about 4 feet above the plant. I water every 7-8 days and I use dissolvable plant food once a month instead of fertilizer to feed them and keep them healthy.
Your plants look great! Ok, good to know on the overwatering! I was definitely overwatering at the start. And have since realized and have been adjusting it to the feel of the soil. I will keep the light on and be more cognizant of watering. The light it about 3+ feet anove the plant. Good call on the fertilizer. I’ve fertilized once with water that had a banana peel soaking for 24 hours. I do have dissolvable plant food. I’ll focus on that once a month as well. Thank you!!
