New Tank still cycling, is it ok to start pl;anting?

[METERGURU]

 Hi, still working on the 150 gallon Tank,  Second week of cycling complete.  Amomia is down fo less than .25 ppm, nitrites 2 ppm and nitratesa at 5 ppm.  Nothing living in the tank yet but woul;d like to start adding plantys to allow them to get rooted in.  Is it ok to start putting plants in while still getting the tank cycled in?

  Cory thanks for all the great videos you have put out.  Its is because of them that I have ordered all of my plants from aquarium coop.

There is no better time to start planting than right now! Plants will boost your cycling speed (they come with benefical bacteria from their previous tank). Plus, plants love the kind of environment you have right now, with high levels of ammonia and nitrates, they will consume them and start to settle down in your new tank.

I second what Henry said, now is the best time.
