Skystomper by Mephisto Genetics is a fantastic strain! Luckily for me that Skystomper is resilient and easy to grow. I would recommend growing Skystomper because the aroma is to die for and the THC production is out of control.

Advanced Nutrients are the ideal nutrients to use to keep your garden within a sensible budget. They have a lot of products in their nutrients line, and there's usually something for every strain. I'm not sure why they don't combine all of the ph Perfect formulas together because it doesn't appear like their feeding schedule recommendations change at all from veg to flower. It's a little odd to be giving the plants pH Perfect Bloom during the early stages of veg, but that's what they've listed out for feeding. Personally, I don't think the Perfect Bloom does as much as the Bud Candy and B-52 for auto-flowering plants during the flowering stage.
I love this strain and I'm so happy to be able to grow it. I've already put another seed in some good Fox Farm Light Warrior soil and I'm ready to make this next grow outstanding!
The pot size to small. My recomendation 5-6 galon SmartPot or AirPot. Night temperature to low, you should rize it to 21-22'C. Veg light to small as well. Tip growing with same spectrum from seed to harvest, increase yield in 15-20%. So if you have dimmer on your LED dim it to 1/2 power for veg. 1000w LED its alot! Its about 500w draw from the wall! You can sucsessfull run on it 5 plants at least with 10-12 gallon pots it can yield up to 1 kilo!!!
@CrazyDiamond, thank you! That's the best advice I've ever gotten. I'm really aiming to get the fulliest flavors, aromas and potencies that I can grow. I will take your recommendations to heart and use them for my next garden.
@DopeLeaves, all those things that increase yield increase potency as well. I know that if you wanna get the highest potency of the genetics you growing, you have to give the plants a UV-A and UV-B light. Some people say it stress the plants and decrease yields, but it is not so, cause cannabis is one of those plants that needs high UV light, aspecialy indica. Usualy good LEDs have the UV in its spectrum.
If you think that cooler night temps doesn't sterss your plants, you're wrong! It slows down metabolism preaty bad. If you wanna increase yield, potency and faster growth - keep the night temps at 21-22'C. If you wanna make a plant to get that purple touch give them 17-18'C only last week before harvest.
I've cheked out the info of your LED and it's not so powerfull as i though. It consumes only 185w draw from the wall. My recomendation is to give up the T5 flc and grow with your LED from seed to harvest. Just keep it at 50-60cm(22-24") away fom cannopy at veg and 25-30cm(11-12") at flowering. And buy yourself 15-20litter AirPots or SmartPots. Make your soil mix lighter by adding to it coco-perlight 50% to give more oxigen and space to the roots. Another thing - buy "Dr.Earth 69 metabolic tansformer" it's the best benifical bacteria & fungi on the market. And you will see fantastic results!
@DopeLeaves if you get airpots they hold less than their equivalent...for example a 5 gallon super roots air pot holds 3.8 gallon actual volume...here is a link to the ones I'm referring too and what I am thinking about upgrading to...spend a little extra money now but save each time on a little soil...I would think these maybe a good investment and a way to keep overhead down my friend...I see some people using these pots and having great results and I'm thinking about investing in some myself but wanted to point out that pot size and actual size are different on the airpots so make sure to check that over before purchase...don't know if this allowed or not but here is a link to the ones I'm looking at and their specs and such...if these pots increase yields and save on soil consumption like advertised they would be well worth the money I believe...hope this is helpful and happy growing my friend!!!!!

@Sillyasswhitedude, Thanks, man but I'm not paying $64.99 for 6 pots when I can get 10, 5-gallon pots for $8 on Amazon.
I do own those larger pots (not the air vent ones you recommended) and I've used them for my gardens before, but then I ended up paying much more for soil. Haha, I'm not rich and I grow for my own use.
Having a high yielding harvest is not my reason for growing. On my first Grow Diary, I grew almost a half a pound of Masterkush and guess what... I still have a ton of it left. It's like a year old so I'm not really wanting to smoke it as much because I have way too much of it. That's a reason to switch to Autos.
I could understand people wanting to get the biggest yield possible out of their plants, and maybe that's because they might be growing weed commercially or are a vendor to patients in need. In my case, it's just me enjoying it and my plants grow enough to last me for many months to come.
Did you know the price for an ounce of recreational high-quality marijuana in Southern Colorado is $379
My whole setup: $40 for my used 4x4x6.5 grow tent, $25 for my 2 bulb fluorescent light setup and $120 for my 1000W King Plug LED light, $10 for my intake fan, $6 for 7 2 gallon pots, $70 worth of Advanced Nutrients (I used zero nutrients in my last grow), $35 for Fox Farm + Light Warrior soil, $5 for my used light timer, $5 for my used humidifier and less than $20 per plant on water cost me a total of: $336 + maybe a $20 extra per month on my electricity bill, which is still $50 less than one ounce of marijuana here.
I do have to say that I'm grateful for your comment because if I ever decide to do this as more than a hobby, then I happily switch to those expensive pots along with buying a higher-end lighting system.
Thanks again @SillyAssWhiteDude
I agree...im not running the air pots but just got some fabric pots for way cheaper....ill probally still try to use my buckets as long as I can lol...im about quality too bro...and I did the same thing an invested about what I figure an ounce goes for here too...I enjoy growing autos because of the shorter life span and having a better variety...I think you can get a double pack of the pots pretty cheap without having to get 6 of them...sorry for the crappy link...I got some of the cloth air pots with handles that have deals built on for a SCROG for 15 bucks but they sent 5 gallon instead of 3 gal...but I saved money that way...I think ill use them to set some photos out in next spring...I will probably order two airpots for my indoor grow...we cant all have your troubles friend my last yield wasn't good enough to have any left..I sold an ounce to pay for seeds and one to get my money back out of my setup like lights and such...I think these marshydros I'm running aren't enough so I will probably have to do the same again to make some upgrades this time around too...but I'm confident that after my initial investment this is a hobby that can fully support itself and save me money by not having to buy smoke from people all the time...and I sell to my family...it saves them money too and they get quality...at half the price of your area...I know people look down on selling here but when it comes to saving my family money and them wanting to invest so I can get different seeds and such I don't feel bad about helping them...but it is nice to meet another grower with the same outlook as I have and enjoys growing as HOBBY and a means to save money...you've been in my follow list for awhile...much respect!!!
They are all flowering up so nicely! I can't wait to see them plump up in the coming days. Your training is really looking fantastic on all of your girls buddy, some real fantastic work!
@KonopCh, thanks bro. I already use a spray mist on the top of the soil, about twice a day. I also leave 2 small trays of water full in the empty areas of my tent. This usually is all evaporated by the time the lights shut off, so then I fill it again. Colorado is a very dry place, but I'm patient and the electricity is really cheap for the extra weeks these take to mature.
