Ok I have two girls in 5 gallon pails a Bruce Banner and an All Gas OG aka Venom OG. All Gas OG is definetly Flowering and Banner will be within a few days. I have Advanced Nutrients Big Bud, Overdrive and Flawless Finish. Can some give me some help on how much of each to feed and when
Advanced Nutrients

You should just use one of the Part A&B formulas, everything else is just to get your money. Would they help improve your plants? Sure, but you’d have to try each one at different dosages at different stages of growth, like fine tuning you could say. And no two plants will want the same thing most likely. So No, no one can answer your question.
Yeah i definetly know what you are saying. Up to this point they have been fed FF. Banner eats lower dosage than OG.

You didn't answer the OP's question.
But you were able to sneak in full pics of your plants..........looking for attention are we?
I used Fox Farms up until last night. Next feeding will be with advanced nutrients

No not at all, just showing that it works. Can you answer his question?
And I did give him an answer.
Nice Plants by the way.

No I can't because I don't have any experience with Advanced Nutes.
But I also didn't feel the need to show off and post a bunch of full size pics of my plants using different nutes than the OP's.

Big bud is potassium and phosphorus. Flawless finish is magnesium sulfate/epsom salts in a bottle. Overdrive is potassium, phosphorus, and magnesium with some sulfur. If you're going to use any of these additives all you needed was the Overdrive as it's basically Big Bud and Flawless Finish combined. If you read the ingredients on the labels you will see that.
I definitely wouldn't use all three since that would be redundant. All you really need is base nutrients for the entire grow.
If you go to AN's Infomercial website they say to start using Overdrive at week 6 of flower. I'm sure they have times for the other ones as well. 2ml of this and 1 ml of that this week and that week which is just nonsense because a balanced feed throughout the grow is better than fiddling around with a bunch of products and amounts at different times.
Is this all you're planning on feeding? Even if you use all three you're lacking many micronutrients, calcium, and any significant amount of nitrogen. That's a recipe for yellowing leaves early in flower.

Big Bloom is just phosphorus and potassium. It's basically and organic Big Bud. You still have nothing with any noticable amount of nitrogen. Nitrogen is still required in flower just at lower amounts than during veg.
You said they have been fed FF. Do you have the Grow Big? If so then continue to use that at lower amounts as it has nitrogen and micronutrients. You should list all the products you have and what soil you're growing in.

You want to use all three of the FF. You can add the AN stuff but it's not needed and if overused will be more detrimental than beneficial.
There are feeding charts for the FF on their website. Follow the ratios but don't go full strength use 1/2 and don't bother with flushing every couple weeks. Don't feed every watering and if you're using tap water you can skip the calmag as well.
Yeah i have ran fox farm trio up til now at 3/4 strength. Wanna replace tiger bloom to big bud then overdrive and then flawless finish.
