That's what it's all about Man is learning and the experience
Some people here try and pretend like they are doing better than what you did but in the honest truth everyone has those days and those grows. Being your first time ever growing anything; you did awesome!
I've seen way shittier plants grown by way more experienced growers and some on this site to date.
Keep at it and try try try again, oh and always document your grows. Even if all goes to shit and it's bad or dying, write it down, take a pic. You'll wish you had if you hadn't.
Best of luck to all your future grows! I'll be on look out
