Dunkin, yes you can use Big Bud powder simply by mixing it with water prior. A PPM/PH meter will help make the mixing much easier, too, as you can ensure you aren't feeding too high of a dose. I personally would recommend looking at Adv Nutrients organic products and choosing some of those over the synthetics. You will achieve top shelf flavors that you didn't know you could produce, while still hitting the same benchmarks for yield.
Remember this key rule as far as your blood & bone meal go... In flowering, you need minimal ammts of Nitrogen after the first couple weeks. If you look at the blood meal, the ratio is going to be somewhere near 12-0-0 like mine is. Basically pure nitrogen. Whereas bone meal can come around ratios of 6-12-2 and whatnot. What that means is that your bone meal is providing a step down, yet ample amount of nitrogen, and is now feeding the proper amount of phosphorus that buds need for good development. For this, I would never feed blood meal at any part during the flowering phase, nor would I feed any more bone meal after this point. Reason being, these powder meals are slow release and take on avg 2 months to completely release and be used by your plant. Strains avg 8 week flower cycles, and therefore will still have nutrients in the soil around time to flush if you are continuously feeding powders throughout. This could prevent you from being able to properly flush your crop and achieve the smell & flavor you want. Consider switching to all liquid nutrients, and def take to heart about what I said RE: Advanced Nutrients ORGANIC LINE. Good luck!
Are you feeding any carbos? You will drastically increase resin production if you carbo load them. Without any carbs, it'd be impossible to get the skanks to full potential.

Some products seem expensive compared to other lines, but you will more than get your money back if you feed properly and don't get too excited about having so many products and burn the shit out of them... Moderation is key!
