Strawberries - new leaf wilt

Hey!

A bit out of whack but can anybody help a bit regarding strawberries orat least direct to where I could find help?
I've been growing this gal for a couple of months and recently (about two weeks ago) started to notice some brown/wilting new leaves. I wounder if it's something with the plant or I've been watering it wrong. I water it irregularly - when the pot feels light - like a pepper. Once per week I add some special strawberry nutes - as much and often as the packaging suggests.
Any ideas, thoughts suggestions?

PS. To the US members out there, stay safe!

The plant looks healthy, no apparent signs of nutrient burn. Looks like a watering issue, either they got too dry or too wet. You would know if you let it get too dry though, it would have been left for quite a while. That's assuming under correct conditions... I notice the plant is indoors. Are you growing this plant indoors to fruit over winter? Did you bring it indoors to photograph? Has it already fruited? It could be plant stress. Strawberry plants are herbaceous perennials, they need to die back at the end of the year, if you are keeping it indoors after it's fruited you are giving it a perpetual summer and that's going to stress the plant.
 
Plant diagnosis is not an exact science but I would suggest if it's already fruited put it outside for winter, else just regulate its' watering a little better.
 
Thanks for the answer!
Yes, I'm growing it in a pot indoors. It's been there for quite some time already and has picked up 200% since it was in the ground in the middle of jul

I don't really have a place to overwinter it but the balcony does get a tad cold. I'll figure that out but it's good to hear that it isn't anything terminal.
