Nah gotta get one. I just have the advanced nutirents table to go off....

It’s a bit small for the amount of medium it is in ,so no I wouldn’t be aiming for runoff at this stage,otherwise it’ll take too long to dry out,

Ok cool..yeah fair enough. Pot probably too big then. Some stuff you read say put it in the forever pot from the get go..some tell you the opposite..??

A common misconception is plant autos in their forever home, but i never have
As long as u careful and no pot bound roots u can pot-up couple times

Ok good to know mate.. but at this point leave it be in a 3 gal..?

U haven't given much 2 go on, but if it is an auto should be right up 3 weeks, just make sure u re-pot before it starts 2 flower.....potting up autos in flower not good

yeah you can start them in a big pot no worries but a small plant won’t be taking up much of the feed so gonna take forever to dry out enough to allow oxygen down to the roots.

A day old only needs a teaspoon of water, so gradually build up the feed to suit the size of the plant. (It’s root system really) In a widening band away from the stem ,,the tap root will follow the draining water and the horizontal roots will follow that band of feed ,,so it’s like letting the roots chase the water to grow faster.

Guess work is involved but if you aim at that approach you cant go wrong,,

without an EC meter ,about 75% of what the bottle says for the age of the plant should be ok ,,give it a week and if the plant looks healthy then you can increase the strength ,,if any burn’t or
dry leaf tips appear then back off with the strength.

That's pretty much the best advice you will get here
