i knoiw that when i bought my fox farm trio, it came with a lil feeding schedule thingy on i think the top or the side or something like that.. the feeding schedule is pretty sweet, it breaks it down week to week, and tells you how much of each product to use at what week.
i would imagine that the fox farm website would have the schedule, but if you can't find it, hit me up, and i'll try and tell you what mine says..
but you've got it, and from what wyte told you, you should be on the right track..

I found the feeding schedule but now I have a question...it says to start grow big in week two...but I thought the soil said not to start any nutes until week 4?

yah, i ran into the same problem, so what i did was just start their week one on week four, and their week two on week five, and so on and so on, and it seemed to work out pretty well for me.. hope that helps..

I just picked up the same trio today. I don't have the schedule and haven't seen their website yet but from what I understand the idea is to use big bloom through the entire grow (save for germination), in conjunction with the other two. So: big bloom+grow big for vegging and big bloom+tiger bloom for flowering. Got'ta love that ocean forest soil, soon as I transplanted to that my plants doubled in size.

Hey Racer, call it blonde moment but can you tell me what that big blocked 6, 3, 2 on the feeding schedule means?

Use that tiger bloom very sparingly. The big bloom is awesome stuff. There is a feeding chart at fox farms website, but seriously, tiger bloom at half strength or even quarter strength. Personally, i stopped using it, in favor of Jamaican Bat Guano in my compost tea. The plants respond to it way more than Tiger Bloom, which burns too easily.

There should be two schedule's on the page I believe the on eyou are looking at would be for hydroponics there should be one for soil and it should tell you how many teaspoons or tablespoons
I am looking at the soil schedule from here:
http://foxfarmfertilizer.com/feedingfox.html

Still not sure how to read those 6, 3, 2s.
I will go with the forums advice and use tiger and grow big sparingly at 1/4 strength just every so often too.

Where did you guys buy this stuff? How much did it all cost?????????????????
I paid $11.xx for a 32oz bottle of each (all three cost me $34) which is a steal -- end of the year/post Christmas sale here: lovelandhydroponics.com who usually sells them for $17.xx a piece...they are the most affordable shop in the state but when they have sales the deals are impossible to pass up. I've seen the 32ozs around here at other garden centers for up to $25 each normally!

i'm not sure as i haven't looked at my ff schedule in ages, but what i think your referring to is the npk ratios of the nuits your using... the first, the 6, is the n, the second, the p, and lastly is the k..

i think i pay around $20 or so for the 1.5 cubic yard bag from my hydro store.. its a lil over inflated, and could probably find it cheaper online, but after shipping costs, not by much.. and i like to support my local shops..
