Adding Nutrients to water

I have a real quick question really only requires a yes or no unless someone really wants to go in depth for me on it. I was planning on nuteing my plants 2moro only thing is I hear alot of people on hear talking about adding you nutrients separately and I think it might even say that on my bottles. I am going to be using the FF trio(GB,BB,TB), and my question is, Are they meaning add the nutrients to the same gallon of water separately or do the mean make 3 gallons of water and each gallon for one type of nute? I'm probably thinking to far into it but its better to be safe than sorry.

as far as advanced nutrition goes, they say yes. their 3 part system says to add the micro then the grow then the bloom (in the correct ratios). something about their molecules getting locked together and not being able to be absorbed by the plant correctly. but it's fine putting them all in the same container for feed. that's just that system however i'm sure each brand has their own way of doing things. i know that on most bottles they have directions on whether or not to use something else with it. i've been using Garret Juice with a touch of my own but it works great and it's organic.

1.) Fill reservoir with water.

2.) Add micro first

3.) Add all other nutrients

4.) Balance ppm by adding water if needed

5.) Balance pH

6.) Get reservoir temperature to 70(F)

Thx for the rep+ but im not going hydro this time. Its straight soil. Im just trying to findout if I can put all 3 nutrients into one gallon and then add it to my 3 plants. I'm talking all 3 at the same time in one gallon added one by one. Last time I nuted my plants I burnt them. And it was a 1/4th actual recommended useage. I'm just gonna put all 3 in the same gallon and see what happens this time. I dont just use 1 gallon to water with but I'm only putting the nute solution in 1 of my gallons.

Use proper ratios for the size container. Then add one at a time mixing after each. You do not want to mix all parts together and then add to water because that causes some mixes to lock up like a safe.
Mix each ratio correctly one at a time into water and you will be good.

THANKS! thats the exact answer I needed man. much appreciated. the first time i added all to the water 1 by 1 and then mixed after all 3 had been added. So this time I know. thanks again.
