Lacks Nutritions Or Over Fed ?

Some leaves' tips are turning brown, which I understand means the plant was over-fed with nutritions.
Also now I noticed a leaf's (on the left , center part) tip is "pointing downwards", which also I think means it's over-fed.

But this plant's bottom leaves get yellow and die (previous were removed ofcourse and can't be seen in the picture).

So I'm confused, is it being over-fed or lacks nutritions ?

What is the ph of the soil?

You can't determine if a plant is over or under fed without taking into account the ph level of the medium, since ph affects a plants access to nutrients.

Brown tips can mean 'salt-burn' which is overfeeding. The yellow leaves at the bottom is N deficiency which means fertilize with N.

I see, so I'll feed it less with "everything", but I want to give it more Nitrogen than before.

Is there any every-home thing I can throw into the water to provide the wanted amount of Nitrogen ?

edit: lol I read Ketchup has a good level of N, is that a good idea to throw some into the water ?

I don't know, I have no ph-o-meter or anything like that, I'm a no0b and would check only if it gets real bad, cause as of now, the plant looks quite healthy overall :)

Blood, but most people are using theirs. Coffee grounds can some quick N but really a cheap bottle of fish emulsion works great

It's not healthy if it has spots like that. You'd be banging your head against the wall to add nutrients that the plant may not be able to absorb.

Which spots do you mean ? on the leaves ? I think it's just dust, cause it's a dusty area

IMO. it looks like it is just a older leaf that is dying naturally. The rest of the plant looks healthy. Is the plant a clone? becauze that yellow leaf looks like it was cut like people do when they first take clones and chop half the leaf off.

Nope, it actually was a FIMFIM :) I missed on FIMing.... and the next node was a miss again (top instead of FIM)
