Fox Farm nutes question

So I bought three containers of Fox Farm nutrients but really have no exact idea what times I should use them. I have their Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom. I know that the grow Big is used for veg. Approx 2 weeks into growth, right? I know that Big Bloom is used for flowering and that I should halt nutes 2 weeks prior to harvest. What exactly is the Tiger Bloom for? I bought all three without having any real knowledge of how they all work together, because a buddy recommended them. Would anyone like to shed some light on exactly how to use all three of these products? Also, should I add the nutes to my water and then use my ph down to adjust the water ph accordingly OR should I adjust the ph in the water before adding the nutes? Any and all replys on this topic are welcome! Please help me out. Take me through Nutes 101.

also, add the nutes than ph the water cuz fox farms nutes will really drop your ph.. they bring mine down about two ph points, so there is no point in ph'ing the water first and then adding the nutes and having to ph it again.. my tap water is about 8.6 and after i add my nutes, its right around 6.6, so i don't even have to add any up or down..

Thanks for the link blah! And racer, another reason I asked when I should add the nutes to my water is because I wasn't sure if the ph up or down would somehow neutralize the nutrients. Not sure why I thought that but it was something I wasn't sure about. Anyhow, thanks for the help fellas.

damn.. I didnt think it would lower your PH that much.. I mixed big bloom in 6.8 PH water last night and watered this morning when the lights came on.. Hope it doesnt screw my babies up too much..

I use the whole FF line up liquid and solubles. Grow Big is for Veg, TigerBloom is for flowering and BigBloom is suppose to be used through out veg and flowering. I only use BigBloom the first couple of weeks of veg then i dont use it until i cut my lights back for flowering. And like racerboy71 stated above add your nutes to your water then check you ph then adjust it becuase it does really drop you ph, my tap water is 7.5 out of the faucet once i add my nutes they drop down to 5.8-6.0 so becareful and watch your ph level.
