im fairly new to growing but i see alot of people saying to use big bloom all the way through grow with both GB and TB.You can mix the BB and GB for veg from what i understand and into flower just switch to the BB and TB if you have the Tiger Bloom.

Yes, grow big during veg, big bloom and tiger during flower. Big bloom and tiger have Nutes not necessary during veg, and grow big has too much nitrogen during flower.
I'm assuming that "Big Bloom" contains mostly Phosphorus and Potassium, and those nutrients are needed throughout the entire grow. Your instructions probably state to raise the amount of this bottle at a specific point in flower (2.5-6 weeks perhaps), right after the flower stretch period. That's the same time I'll bet that your instructions state to lower the amount of the "Grow" bottle. This is because there's much Nitrogen in that bottle, and after stretch, the plants need less than in veg.
Either way, the plants need the same nutrients throughout all cycles of life, but some nutrients are needed in larger or smaller quantities at specific growth periods.
I used GH Flora for years, and found that on average, mixing at 2/3 recommended dose was sufficient. For very young plants, 1/2 was often enough. Rarely did I ever have to feed full recommended dose (but there are some strains that did require it).

Im a new grower and recently got the fox farm trio. Chart says to feed twice a week and third time water. How is this even possible if my soil takes about a week or so to be dry? Wouldnt i be wasting nutrients if this is the case? Or should I just feed lets say monday and next monday do water and the next monday do feeding again? Can some one please help!?

During veg you won’t feed as much during flower. Depending on how large your plants are will determine the frequency of watering. As the plants get bigger they will require to be fed more often. It also depends on the size of the pot as well. Smaller pots need to be watered more often than larger pots, so the feed schedule will change throughout the grow cycle. Try not to stick to the schedule they provided, it’s more of a guideline. Your soil medium plays a major role as well. Coco requires feeding every watering, while soil usually goes feed/water/feed/water/etc. Hope that helps.

Of the FF trio, I'm only a fan of Big Bloom.

Sure does its super acidic put 2ml in my feed because FF has burnt mine if its not under 50% of recommended dosage. The grow big did at 75% anyways. So yeah 2ml dropped it from 7.4 to 5.8
