Hi Nikita, you didn't mention what your starter is composed of, but with your environmental temperatures it would probably be wise to start feeding your starter twice daily. We don't consider the float test a reliable indicator of starter maturity or readiness, so I wouldn't worry too much about that. Look to see that your starter is rising predictably and has a pleasant aroma before you use it in your baking. It usually takes at least 10 days to develop a fully mature starter. Good luck and let us know how it goes!
