I have the whole FF line up except beastie bloomz and cha-ching. instead i have big bud, bud blood, bud candy and sweet carbo. Is it good to mix nutes? and do i still need the remaining ff nutes? or is there something better to use late in flowering?

Mixing nutrients is not a problem if you have a set N-P-K target you are trying to achieve.But blindly mixing a bunch together with out running them through the nutrient calculator is not a good idea.You can't trust the mixing directions on the manufactures labels.Here is a link to the nutrient calculator and a page with some info on recommended N-P-K values.

Deepsmoke, you are aware that Bud Candy and Sweet Carbo are virtually the same. Just made by two different brands.
Bud Candy is Carboload mixed with Sweet Leaf.
I am not sure what constitutes the Sweet Carbo. Not to offend but using them together would be overkill, on the carbs.

Yeah, it seems like you're ODing on the carbs with the lineup you have.

It's always better to go with one nutrient lineup, in my opinion. They tend to be formulated not to overlap with each other on the ratios.

I haven't mixed nutes before, so I'm not sure what might happen if two nutes would mix, but noting major would probably happen if you absolutely must.

That said, you might want to stick to just one brand at a time since you could find out what products are working and what aren't.

You don't want to use all different things and then get confused when something suddenly goes wrong. When you use just one brand, you know that it's not that the mixing of the nutrients was the problem.

Wow. I'm baked. Did that even make sense? LOL
