Awesome - glad to see another newbie jumping into the ring.
I really wish that I'd gone to the boards earlier in my growing career. Sometimes I just needed someone to tell me that I wasn't screwing up.
Some quick advice:
*Start slow.
*Use good nutes and equipment from the start.
*Keep things clean.
*Keep a journal - online or in a journal to watch what you're doing, what works, what doesn't.
*Ask lots of questions.
Good luck! See you around.
