First time growing. Got 2 dwc buckets going. Using Advanced nutrients. Wondering when or how to tell when to switch from big bud to overdrive. I've been in flower for 3 weeks. Using bud ignitor for first 2 weeks. Now big bud it says for weeks 3 and 4. Is this right? Then use overdrive the rest of the way until flush? Or continue big bud longer? Thanks in advance for the help.

The plant has been in flower for three weeks, or you switched to 12/12 three weeks ago? I don't start counting flowering time until the plant shows sex, which might take up to a week. I believe this is the standard most people use. TBH, that plant doesn't look three weeks into flower to me, from that photo. Maybe two.
Anyway, according to AN, you use bud ignitor the first two weeks of flower, add Big Bud week 2, and then just Big Bud until two weeks before the end of flower. You then switch to overdrive for the last two weeks of flower.
So when you switch to overdrive depends on the expected flowering period of your plant. 8 weeks? 10 weeks?

Thanks for the replies. And sorry for the photo. And yes they are 54 days old. And on the 29 day I switched to 12/12. Hope those are better pics. And I was reading the bottle where it says weeks 1 through 2. For ignitor but good to know I continue with big bud. Thanks again for these tips. Much needed.
