HELP HELP! Which Nutrients to use first?

I am about to feed my plants nutes for the first time. The product I am using is Technaflora Plant Products "Recipe for Success" which consists of Thrive Alive B-1 Green, Thrive Alive B-1 Red, Sugar Daddy, Route 66, BC Boost, BC Grow, MagiCal, BC Bloom and Awesome Blossom. They use different nutrients for each stage and I am kind of stuck in the middle on this one because I am about to transplant my plants from 1 gallon buckets to 3 gallon buckets real soon. The transplanting stage of the "Recipe for Success" calls for the Route 66 and Sugar Daddy immediately after I transplant them into the 3 gallon buckets but since I am transplanting them into new soil (HappyFrog) I am worried that I will over nute them because the Happy Frog already comes with nutes in the soil. Would it make a difference if I feed the plants a couple days prior to transplanting them instead of doing it immediately after I transplant them into new soil? The vegetative feeding stage calls for the BC Boost, BC Grow, Thrive Alive B-1 Red, MagiCal and Sugar Daddy. Should I feed the plants the Vegetative Feeding stage nutes in the 1 gallon buckets a couple days before I transplant them into 3 Gallon Buckets or would it be good to feed them the transplanting stage nutes a couple days prior to transplanting them? So the real question is, should i feed them the transplanting nutes or the vegetative nutes first? Plants are about 6 inches tall if that makes a difference.

So what i do when i transplant into soil with nutes is just use b1 thrive and water for the shock then add 1/4 nutes the 50% then full spacing out each like 2 waters. because ive burned my babies by adding nutes to soil with nutes :( this is only my opinion :) Good luck!!

ok so should i spray the plants or just add the thrive alive to the soil? People say that if you spray the plants you should do it minutes before the lights shut off. And when is it best to transplant, Beginning of light cycle or when theyre about to go to sleep?

so first you dip medium in b1 mix then transplant if bare roots water the roots w/ mix.
dont ever spay leaves when you will have too much direct light, it will burn the leaves, even pull lights away alittle. i usually do 1 hr with fans on that way it has time to dry so it doesnt mold :)
