lots to learn noobie, lots to learn, plenty of good info here and at seed boutique outdoor grow forum. good books available at your local bookstores. Being once a noobie myself I reccomend some simple steps. First year bagseed, second year nirvana seeds (cheap), third year female seeds. Start indoors in plastic cups under flouros or real plant lights then out to the great outdoors after the last threat of frost. Don't over water! find sites via long walks one hours drive out of town. More to it than this , thats why you research.
