Mate super cool grow, I’m also on my first grow in a similar set up to yours. The help and advice on here has been huge for me and I recommend you keep going!
The things I learnt so far from my first grow are:
1) bright light is right: a strong grow light at a sensible distance (mines circa 24” away from top of plant) is crucial for growth - I had what I thought were nute deficiency in my plant but turned out that I just had the grow light too close!
2) don’t nuke your nutes: I was super keen to keep feeding my plant, thinking the more I put in the bigger my plant would get - even minimal over feeding can lead to problems and harm the plant (sounds obvious but I learnt the hard way lol)
3) Listen to the plant: you can consume all the content you want on growing (there is near limitless available online as you correctly said). I found by looking at my plant and comparing it to other healthy plants I was able to adjust the care of my plant accordingly.
4) Get it wrong to get it right: Practice and repetition has been huge for me, not trying to change everything in one go. From germination to harvest isn’t as quick as it seems and you’ve got a bit of time to make subtle adjustments to learn how to care for your plant best.
Above all though keep asking questions and keep learning from those who will share. It has helped me no end. Keep on keeping on, looks like you’re doing great.
