Hey there @Montaye! Welcome to the family! It would help if you kept all of your questions to one journal. It can be your ‘official grow journal’. This way we can all see what’s been answered already.
Maybe @Myfriendis410 can help and combine them?

Yes; please keep from opening multiple threads covering the same thing. It takes up space that others can use to ask questions. If you don’t mind, I’ll merge all of your threads into one.

Yes thats fine … i don’t mind
Fill this out so we know what your dealing with.
How old is she? Do you have ph and tds meters to check runoff? This is the best way to tell if they are hungry

Stick to 1 thread so we don’t get confused.

As @beachglass stated, it’s much easier to get and give info when everything is in one thread. That being said, this should help with feeding. This is per gallon. Most growers just use the Grow Big, Big Bloom, and Tiger Bloom. Mix in order listed, make sure you are pH’ed between 6.2-.8 if youregrowing in soil.

Feed as per the guide @Borderryan22 posted (don’t forget a cal/mag product too) and adjust feeding as necessary to maintain a runoff PPM of ~1,000.
Fox Farm nutes are salty and will eventually create a mineral salt buildup that will give you fits managing you r runoff pH. A flush is necessary when this happens.

Yes i have that and everything i need to give it nutrients… but the process i never done b4 … like … how do u know how much water to add with the nutrients as u giving it food & without overwatering or oversoaking your soil … …
Whats it in 3 gallon pot? Are there two plants or it was in the red pot, now its in the black one… It will help to know what size container of soil is being watered

Well its in the red pot and only reason being is i couldnt find pots anywhere that was the only pot i could find before my other pots come in and i didnt want it to get root rot … but the growth of it still looks a bit stunted to me … compared to other blue berry autos i have seen … not sure what size pot that red 1 is honestly … but from now on im moving to fabric pots … it look like it may b a 3 gall 
Honestly i just give it water when its dry … so adding nutrients to my water that i give it im kinda confused on … like do i mix all tsp of nutrients together in water and just give it a good soak …

I understand it should read the right balance on the ph meter and stuff but do i do that separately with each nutrient
