Yes, but the idea is to get the secondaries going early, so by the time you have tons of foliage they are big enough to receive light, therefore speeding everything up a bit... the earlier the rocks are added, the earlier secondaries appear. Keep in mind applied rocks at day 6 and am noticing immeadiate changes... Imagine had they been there since day 1.
