No specific experience with FoxFarm, but yes you want to ALWAYS try and dillute your feeds. Mixing them into water prior to feeding is vital. If you do not have a PPM/PH combo testing unit, def look into spending the money to test your nutrient solution and know exactly what levels you are about to feed, so that if they are not suitable you can make adjustments and get everything to it's ideal level.
If you are in the bloom phase, I would suggest using a good dose of carbohydrate sources for your babies. This will help feed beneficial bacterias in the soil which produce nutrients, amino acids, & natural plant hormones that are vital for good growth. It will also be absorbed by the plant for energy to produce bigger, sweeter, more potent buds. I use a mixture of Advanced Nutrients Bud Candy, Botanicare SWEET, Tropical Organics Banana Extract, & Organic Molasses (the most affordable choice)
If you aren't using a specific Cal-Mag supplement, you can disolve Epsom Salts into water and feed
Hope all this helps, my friend! =)
what carbohydrate should i use?? .. is Big Bloom & Tiger Bloom Not enough??

You're using bloom boosters, which are probably majority Phosphorus & Potassium?
Carbohydrates are completely different ... You should start with Organic Molasses from your store for $6 or so
Google the carbohydrate products I listed in my post above (ie Bud Candy, SWEET, ...) and if you want to pay a little more, you can purchase those products, or do a combo of both. It's up to you how serious you want to take it, but I can assure you, your final crop reflects at the end how much you truely value what you're doing.
Keep us updated! =)

You can mix them into your nutrient mixture WITH bloom nutrients, AND/OR feed them seperately. It's up to you. Personally, I feel it's something that's good to put in small doses in every feed so that you're slowly replacing & maintaining your carbo levels in soil. It will feed the beneficial bacteria in your soil, as well as feed the plant for faster/healthier vegetative growth (via increased rate of photosynthesis), as well as help the plant develop bigger, sweeter, more potent buds during flowering phase. If you purchse bottles, they will have feeding instructions on the label for you to follow. Don't go over, as you could end up feeding too much sulfer/magnesium that is in those products. You just want a nice balance. If you buy molasses at the store, 1 tablespoon per gallon is ideal, moving to 2 tablespoons per gallon during flowering when you are carboloading.
so for example... water my plants with my bloom nutes.. and the next watering with just bud candy ??? would that be good

You could do that, but in my previous post, I was saying you should just do it every feed in the doses I explained.

Well i been using all the fox farms stuff nutrients and i been getting some deficencies. Looks like a nitrogen and cal deficency. Also the sledge hammer says to add a few drops to a regular feeding. It says it right on the bottle. OK, dont do this. LoL this is a bad thing and a fox farm associate told me not to do it as well.
On another note i used molasess in my res and my ph stayed at 6.8 it was very impossible to bring it down. im using a ebb n flow. I wonder if molasess is not good for hydro. I try to keep my ph at 5.8

i have used molasses with the fox farm line with feeds with good results. currently i have been using sweet instead (free sample) with comparable results. these two are good carbo loaders and they have many trace elements which are beneficial. molasses is cheaper but the sweet is easier to deal with (mix, pour, etc.)
