Advice on a few things needed please

So I'm close to the end of my first grow.
I have a few questions mostly related to the stages of growth. Different sites say different things. Mostly trying to fine tune areas I was confused considering nutes and different substances of flower.

1. When do you consider the seedling having entered vegetative stage?

2. If you wanna top but want a 4 ft bush instead of a 2 ft bush, can you top it at a higher node or does it always have to be 3rd or 5th node. Or do you top at 5th and then top again after each new main shoot grows a 3rd node.

Indica supposedly stretches less and I'm growing purple kush next grow. The Super skunk bush didn't really stretch much. It was like 15 in and stretched another 10 after I flipped. I have space for 40 to 45 inches height that includes taking off for pot height and light distance in flower.

3. When does early flower actually begin? As soon as you flip 12/12 or when the snowball budlets show? Wondering so I can have a better idea what week of flower they are really in.

4. Is peak flower when all the buds hairs are white sticking straight out and not brownish red yet?

5. At what point does mid flower peak bloom become late bloom stage based on how the buds look?

6. Does soil growing add 2 extra weeks to the whole life of the plant because it grows slower in soil?

7. At what point do you stop feeding Nitrogen and just give PK bulk feedings during Flowering?

8. In Vegetative stage when can I start doing watering in a drench and dry cycle?
Like how big is the plant when you start doing that watering style.

Thanks in advance for all your answers and help regarding these.

Seedlings are in veg as soon as they germinate.

You can top anytime you like there's no hard fast rules.

Flowering begins when you flip but you won't see much for a couple of weeks.

Peak bloom is down to the strain/age

Idk about soil?

I wouldn't stop feeding nitrogen ever.

I don't do soil...
