Sorry but there is quite a bit wrong with this "correct" guide.
1- you never mention the Latin name Grammastola rosea which will put an end to mix ups with common names.
2- females can live 20+ years, males have a much shorter life span
3- wood hides are not ideal, if they are made of pine or cedar they contain oils that are irritating to tarantulas
4- you never mention temperature
5- you do not mention what type of lid to use on the cage and ventilation
6- feeding amount is different as per the age of the tarantula
7- mirror patch and urticating hairs have nothing to do with each other
8- super worms are not an ideal food choice, crickets and roaches are the way to go
9- all tarantulas CAN bite
10- you never mention what the substrate is made of
11- if you think the water dish is too big why have it in the video?
12- no mention of pre and post molt behavior/care
On the plus side you did mention to keep them in a dry environment.
Sorry, it is far from the definitive care guide.

Why are you making a care guide when you don't have the information or experience yet?

Because, atleast my info is better than half the people on youtube saying to mist their cages and give them 10 crickets a week. I just re did it. Re doing it again. My finger was on the mic, too much bass.
