Welcome to the forum. Lots of great guys around.
Spend some time studying and keep your first couple of grows super simple.
The big thing for first time growers is keeping it simple. 1 maybe 2 plants to kill at a time.
Growing is an enjoyable hobby, There is nothing like throwing a hand full of papers on the coffee table - popping the top off a 20L bucket of real nicely finished bud at a party. Makes for an interesting evening.
Trimming is straight forward and a bud brush is awesome. There is an art to curing but it's not hard.
A little fun for you.
