TWO nutes ONE jug?

I am just about 3 weeks into flower using FFOF soil and FF nutes. I have Big Bloom, Tiger Bloom, Open Sesame and Beastie Bloomz. However, if I were to follow the FF nute schedule I think I would fry my plants to a crisp. First off I am using 50% strength for the most part.

The Fox Farm nutrient schedule at one week in the flowering stage there of the schedule there are 5 different nutes being used. Usually its about 3 nutes per week though on the FF schedule during flowering.

I water usually every two days so that means I only get use nutes 1-2 times a week at the most, let alone 4 or 5.

My question is...can I simply mix two different nutes in one container? Specifically I want to mix Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom in the same one gallon container.

The Fox Farm website says mixing is ok: "[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Adding the fertilizers individually to the same gallon of water poses no risk."[/FONT]:?:

I just wanted to hear some experience with this or any tips. Thanks for any help!

Yeah honestly it is the basis of all hydro systems.
But in soil you should have no issues, but i personally try not to mix up more nutrients than i will use immediately.
If it makes you feel better i only water when needed and at this point i am only watering twice a week at most, with only half of those being feedings, so 1 feeding a week. No issues at all! Good luck and happy growing.

I often mix nutes with one another in water.. never mix the nutes prior to mixing the water, always mix them in the water. I recently burned my plants with Foxfarm, cause I added 4Table spoons per galon of tiget bloom, 2tsp per gal of big bloom and some grow big..
the full amount of the tiger bloom was hard on my plants..

i was soil grower for years and i used a bucket to mix my nutes; i would fill the 10 litre bucket with water and then add all my nutes to it together, then i would give each plant their feed depending on what they required e.g one would need 2 litres another may need 3. im a dwc/hydro grower now.

Thanks for your help guys. I just mixed 1/4 tsp. Open Sesame, 2 tsp. Tiger Bloom, 1 Tblsp. Big Bloom. All in a 1 Gal. jug. Although, I got kinda scared about all those nutes in one jug and the fact that I have been light on nutes until now, so I dumped almost a 1/4 of it out and replaced it with clean water to dilute the jug a bit. Just hit all four of my plants with it. WISH MY LADIES LUCK!!! Thanks!

I am a total newb, but the only reason I am saying this is because I just got done reading the Big Bloom and Tiger Bloom bottles. This is just info from the bottles, not the FF standard feeding schedule. But the Tiger Bloom is measured in TEAspoons and the Big Bloom in TABLEspoons. I generally use 2 tablespoons of Big and 2 teaspoons of Tiger per gallon. 4 Tablespoons of Tiger is crazy. But I have made far worse mistakes!

if its a 2 part base nutrient, generally you can't mix them together. if its a 1 part + additives, it should be ok. Careful not to mix calcium and sulfur,
