Fishless Cycling - Whento Add Plants

[jonnyf84]

THE BEST TIME TO ADD PLANTS?

Hi all, i am going to start my fishless cycling soon but i can't find out when to add my plants? do i put them in as soon as i put the water in or wait until i add the fish to therefore give them CO2 to feed on?

Surely if i add them straight away (and the cycling takes 6 weeks) then wouldn't they die from lack of CO2?

Are plants beneficial to the cycling process?

Many thanks,

Jonny

hm...I always add plants from the start in my tank. It doesn't seem to affect them.
I believe they are helpful in cycling.
