I have been growing this drosera along with about 6 others in the same environment for a year, and this is the only plant to have this issue. Over the last 4-6 months, the leaf tips never fully develop and instead die right before uncurling the last little bit. I have tried everything from reducing light, to increasing humidity, to not feeding the leaves before they are done developing. So far, they continue to develop the same. Otherwise, the plant is doing well. It flowers, produces a lot of dew, and digests whatever I feed it.
Below is a picture of the leaf. The far left leaf shows how even though it is dead at the ends like most leaves, it is not because it is old. The leaf is still functional and overall looks somewhat healthy considering the dew production. The only issue is that it never uncurled fully and turned black right at the end. Conditions were with two 40 W LED bulbs on for 15 hours a day two feet above (small radius of light), now down to one. Other drosera not showing signs of stress.
I am just looking for tips, because from what I can tell it is not humic acid buildup, and it does not seem like too little light as happens with many plants on this forum.
Thank you again, below is a picture of the plant:
