I wouldnt. Follow the directions bro. Recharge is meant for later on after the cat drench flat spot. They'll try to reproduce vigorously after the cat drenches and hit a wall sort of, thats when you add the ewc and recharge.

I've done that - not the same day, but the next drench. It didn't have any dramatic effect, but from what I understand of CEC - cation density in the soil - the effect from the Cat drench wouldn't benefit from the recharge/EWC unless it had some time to cook into the soil. The EWC will hold a lot of cations, but you have to give it some time to adsorb them.
After a few runs, I started doing the recharge/EWC within a week of flip, and I feed a GE drench right before the Cats with no water in between. That gives the recharge/EWC some time to react with the biota and fill the cation sites, and the GE drench right before the Cats fill whatever sites may remain. Then when the Cats hit, you've got a full tank.

That was my quandary. I have bud set so its cat time but my bud set hit the same time as recharge. I ran with all 3 just so my next cat will be cool. It all goes into the notes for better runs. As long as each run gets better than the last then I'm happy.

I'm really conflicted on when to use the cat drench since the strain I'm growing finishes so quickly. She's done in 45 to 50 days. Anyone have suggestions? HELP!!! LOL.

Just for shits and giggles, I went through 10 random journals and not once did I see anything that even remotely resembles anything that we grow in Docs kit...not a single plant!!!
If my plants didnt always look like that, I'd stop growing

That's because most people think more is better. When it comes to cannabis that's not the case.

This question has perked my interest, as I also have some strains that finish in the same time.

I gave mine their first cat drench at day 14 from flip. I always do it early tho...I do a lot of things differently, but they work well

Maybe I should hit'em with the cat drench next then.

Almost doesn't matter unless it's too late. Just go for it.
