Question

Can i add plants before i cycle the aquarium

Answer 1

Yep, you sure can.

I might wait though b/c new tanks going through the cycling process usually gets a bad case of brown algae, and it's a pain in the butt trying to get that off of plant leaves.

But if you don't care about that, then go for it.

Answer 2

I was told it was still a good idea to allow the water a couple days to settle before adding plants but you don't need to wait out the full cycle.
