it's not the light and reducing light if it is a hot soil will have opposite of the effect you want. the plant's rate of use of nutrients will reduce but provision rate stays same, so the toxicity gets worse in that context.
Yout doil id probably a little too hot for a small plant. if it made it this far it'll survive. May get more damage before the plant is robust enough to handle your soil's nutrient level.
also, you are warering wrong.. not an opinion. you do not choose teh volume of water. that is a big red flag of doing it wrong.
water until entire pot is wet, no less. Wait for top 1" to dry. Repeat. Don't deviate until you know what you are doing.. even then in soil, don't deviate, lol.
the volume will remain the same if you water at same point.. the time between will change. as the platn drinks at a faster rate, you'll have to irrigate more frequently. Transplanting will reset that trend a bit, but it will continue.
