Fertilizer question from a n00b (Tiger/Big Bloom)

I had a simple (I hope) question for all you experts. I am on my second crop at the moment. The first one turned out great, but I had some help from a friend who is no longer around. Now I have some ladies into flowering (3 weeks on Sunday) and I have just been giving then straight water by hand once every day or two, depending on the soil's moisture.

I have both Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom, and I was wondering what the recommended mix for these is, and also the frequency of usage for these?

I give the veg plants and the flowers water once every day or two, and that's it at the moment. I was wondering if I use these (as I am quite sure it would be recommended) how much do I mix with what quantity of water, and how often do I use this. In addition, is it recommended to use nutrients on vegged plants?

At the moment I have a veg area which is all fluorescent with 48" fixtures and CFLs, and a flower area under a 1000W HPS. I water them both once every day or two, depending on soil moisture, but other than that I do not give either any sort of nutrients. I would love to get some input from the more experienced growers, or anyone for that matter. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

It should say on the back of the bottle what to mix them at, if the plants look ok just start off at half strength, feed the tiger bloom to your plants in flower every other watering and big bloom for the vegging plants every 3 waterings, you should be watering every few days depending on your medium, thats my opinion, maybe somebody has a better one

Okay first of all Tiger Bloom and Big Bloom save those just for your flowering plants. Get Grow Big if you wanna use it on your vegging plants.

Second of all, read the back of the bottles. I don't have big bloom but I do have Grow big and Tiger bloom. Tiger bloom is formulated at a very low pH so once you add it to water, it will pull the pH down very low. You need some pH up for when you use it.

I use Big Bloom almost every watering. The Tiger Bloom every second or third. Depending on the plant. 1 tbsp per gal for the Big Bloom. 1-1 1/2 tsp. per gallon for the Tiger Bloom.
