Hello, I'm new to growing and this is going to be my first grow ever. I'm a little nervous but I think I'll do okay, I ordered some seeds from NIRVANA and received them today, 5 super skunk regular. I only plan on doing one at a time, I'll be growing them in a closet in the spare room, I bought a full spectrum LED 150 watt UFO light, I don't know if this one light would be enough? Or would I need another, plus any tips on growing super skunk would be helpful, I bought Fox farm ocean soil, I'm not sure about nutes, also after germination is it okay to start growing in a 3 gallon pot? Or do you have to start small any tips would help. I plan on doing 18 hours of light and 6 hours of darkness for the vegetative state and 12/12 for flowering.

Not much light. TO make use of as much of it as possible, limit it to one plant, keep it short with trimming/supercropping. Buy the smallest tent you can find, see if you can fold it to only make it about 1.5' diameter footprint

You'll want to veg it out, take a clone, then flower tthe parent and keep the clone vegging. If its male you'll want to plant another in hopes of female. Again, take a clone and flower the parent . when you get a female, keep a clone stock. They dont take much space an will save you time later. You can also keep phenos of your strain if you get more than one fem. Even keep males in veg and small for later use ifyoure into that kind of thing.

Id germ 2 to increase your chances of one being a F, enough light depends a lot on your space, etc. If you have a smart phone, you can get an app that measures lux. If this is a white light LED youll want at least 20,000 lux at the surface of your plants. If its blurple its harder to estimate but you can go by actual draw, if you have a kill-a-watt or something to measure electricity at the plug. Cheap LED youll probably want 30+ watts / square foot, good LED 20+

This is probably the best choice for you. Your light may be enough to flower a single small plant but should veg a pair. This is one of the reasons I tend to use feminized seeds-space and time is limited for me.
