Listen to your body, if your metabolism is high and you don't eat enough then yes doing cardio when trying to bulk would NOT be a good idea.
Now if you got some fat to get rid of (and don't want to gain a lot more) and you eat enough, then 3 times 20 mins of cardio weekly would not cause any problems (keeping the heart in shape....).

Weight gainers are normally full of empty calories, like sugar. read the label good if you do this. You are actually much better off if you can get in a couple good high caloric content meals loaded with complex carbs like an 8 oz. sweetpotato and one serving of pasta along with a cup of veggies and 40 or so grams of protein. this may sound like alot of food, but you really need to force yourself to eat this way, you will get used to it and gain good solid weight. Make your meals up at night, have them ready to go the next day so you can just pull it out of the fridge and eat. Invest in some MRP's for nutrition on the go. Good luck...
