Bwahaha, you had the right format or phrasing that tricked cangrowz's automated script. How the fuck did his/her script copy and paste the truncated portion of the grow question? Kinda feels like the script is working from both ends, which wouldn't be the first time.
Clearly not a robust script/bot.. something tripped it up.

Avoid the average marijuana sites and forums until you know how to differentiate unsubstantiated anecdote from reality. Some anecdotes are true, but most are not. 200,000 years of track record doesn't lie about that.
e.g.
cocoforcannabis.com - guides and articles plus doctor photon's corner. Avoid the rest.
That site is more geared toward soilless, but outside of a slight difference in how you water, it's mostly the same. with soilless you want 10% runoff or more, with soil, you want full saturation and limited runoff - unless trying to fix an imbalance in the soil. Soil has nutrients you paid for, so no reason to run it off down the drain. if a soil is giving too much, some extra runoff can help dilute it a bit, but when doing things well this should not be required often..
Most sites perpetuate pop culture myths mixed in with some good information. Check out normal gardening guides and such. While there is variety, this is a pretty 'normal' plant that requires normal procedures throughout its life. Gardening is a hobby that preys on people's wants and desires. So much predatory marketing and advertising trying to sell people smoke and magic. If something promises a lot, it's probably bullshit. Doesn't mean it isn't a useful product, but the promises rarely hold true when it's glorified.
Keep it simple. Do things in orthodox ways until you form a good baseline based on a variety of plants. Once you better understand normal variance caused by genetics, you'll be better infromed to recognize what is real and what is smoke as you try new things.
last suggestion - grow photoperiods until you have a well mapped out process. Mistakes are worse with autos. You can't just leave it in vege to compensate for early mistakes. With a photoperiod you can ensure it's healthy as it enters flower, and you can compensate for early mistakes if necessary with a long vegetative phase. If it grows too large doing so, can always prune it down to size and give it some time to heal before flower.
If you try soilles, i'd suggest jacks 3-2-1 fertilizer trio or anything that ends up a similar ratio and concentration -- i think their instructions are about 10-15% too high, fwiw, but local variables will make what you find to work well slightly different than other gardens.
No matter what suggestion you take, always let the plant decide if it worked or not. Observe and adjust. The plant is the ultimate guide... Also, don't blame outside sources. always be accountable for your own behaviour. People like to blame the boogeyman, but that's a good way not to learn anything over time.
