Your soil already has some nutes in it, though I've never used that soil before. That fert that you mentioned is not too good for veg I think, here's why:

Ferts have a N - P - K ratio to them.

You want more N when you veg, and your fert has more P and K than N.

From what I understand:

N is for leaf development
P is for root development
K is for flower (buds) development

If your soil has a lot of nutes in it, which it claims to have, then you might not even have to feed at all for quite a while. As long as the plants look healthy, then they're doing ok. You want to be careful with overfeeding.
