I run soiless and I feed every watering, my plants get upset if I don't. If you run soil then feeding should wait until the soil is depleted and then start feeding, usually about 1 to 1.5 months.
A bowl of water is fine but probably won't help much with humidity unless you put a fogger in it. If you are in a tent and exhausting then you will blow the humidity out as fast as you add it.

I don’t use LED. I use MH. Those things run hot. So I don’t worry about temps too much considering I’m growing in the basement in tents. It’s also bloody cold here to it evens out. I’ve never had problems with water in the tent to increase humidity for sure. But my bulb like I said is a heater in itself.
Moral is. Don’t feed your plants right now. When you see them asking for nutes then go to it again. Let them use up what they have already. You want to finish your dinner right? Don’t keep putting food on your plate if you haven’t finished the first round.

1. Soiless can be treated as hydro or soil, depends on the type of soiless. 100% coco should be treated as hydro, coco/peat can be used as soiless or hydro depending on preparation and nutes used. I have seen people use 100% pest as hydro and soil also but I wouldn't use it as hydro myself.
2. Soil should self buffer mind do just fine when they get just r/o water which is close to 8.0 and when being fed the roots organic regimen which tests after mix at 4.5

It looks like it could be over-watering in my opinion. Wait til the pots are like scary light without drooping leaves before you water again.

Now for the OP. Plants look good. A bit of tip burn shouldn't be bad as long as you dont let salt build up in the medium. That is actually my advice. When my plants start to droop a bit it is a good sign that salt is building up. In osmosis water wants to move from areas of low salinity to areas high in salinity. I would bet if you gave a good flush (flush with nute solution not just water) they will be perked back up by the next day.

I'm a little confused with your soil / soilless comment..? What are you growing in?

if you're in soil just wait for the pots to dry out and you'll be fine.

I had a plant that died months ago, I bought the medium at a nursery, but I don’t remember what kind ...

Depending on the size of your plant, you can put a dome over it (like a 2-liter bottle) and spray the inside of the dome to raise the humidity, just make sure there are some hole for ventilation.
In soil, you may also be 'locking out' some nutes. On your list it showed you watering in the 5-6 pH range. In soil 6.5 is optimum to allow the plant to absorb nutrients better. Some will not be absorbed if the pH is too low, others if it is too high.
