I think it is a waste of fertilizer. Water washes off fertilizer in the soil. And the soil may compact before root grows.
I chase pot size up. I haven't notice any "transplant shock". Trick is to let soil dry before transplant. Then the old pot comes out easily enough without root damage.
My usual pot sizes steps are 300 CC , 2 -iters, 7-liters, 25-liters, then final pot between 40-liters for fast flowering type to 80-liters for four months Sativa flowering period.
