Sweet!
What kind of soil are you using?
What is the pH of the water you are using? If you don't know I would suggest getting some test strips or even a pH meter!
Do you have an EC or TDS meter? They measure salts and electric conductivity in the soil. Good way to make sure you aren't over feeding or under feeding the plant!

All good, didn't mean to scare you. pH test strips are pretty cheap you should definitely get some and maintain a pH between 5.5-6.3.
Absolutely brother! Just keep in mind not everything will go as planned for your first grow! When life throws you a curve, lean into it haha!!

Welcome to the club! Hopefully, things go well, but if they don't, just ask for help. I'm only about 3mos into this, and have already upgraded everything 2-3 times now. You'll be surprised at how many gadgets you end up with before all is said and done.

Invest in a digital pH meter. They're only like $15 and save you from buying strips all the time. Just need to replace the battery once a year or two.

Good luck!
