Aquarium Forum - View Single Post - Would adding plants now cycle my tank faster?

I've got a 29 gal. tank cycling at the moment. It's been seeded with gravel from my established tank, and with a rotting shrimp in a nylon. It's been going for 3 days now and the ammonia reading is up to 1.0ppm.

I'd like to add plants to the aquarium, but I was wondering if I should do that now or after the tank is cycled?
