I'll be using bonfire ash on mine, a little later in the season. I don't see any point before the plants are growing strongly.

Week 12-13; Boost growth by hoeing in nitro-chalk or sulphate of ammonia at a rate of 1oz (30g) per sq m to, or alternatively, 3oz (90g) per sq m of growmore.

No good gardening by numbers though; if you use it when the plants aren't growing, then some of it at least will leach out and be wasted because the roots aren't busy taking it up.
