Hmmm 20-28 degrees really?

Also your not going to want to water everyday I water every 3-4-5 days just depends on how much water my plants absorb....

Test the moisture of the soil by place your thumb down in the soil... if you feel moisture .. too much moisture will mean over watering..

Now if you test the moisture and its dry give it water until some leaks out the bottom... but of course you said your plant is still very young so until it gets to about 5-6 inches, just spray with regular distilled water... not everyday, just when it needs it... and no nutes the first two weeks unless you started from clone...

If you have AIM id be glad to help you with all the problems your having with your plants...

Its better to water thoroughly and let the soil dry out between waterings. No more watering daily

I don't know for sure, but I remember reading somewhere that pure distilled water is not healthy to be persons only source of drinking water. Maybe it's bad for plants too.
