How to cycle low light low maintenence plant tank

Just to update:

I had forgotten that I also had a backup test kit the kind you dip in the water for a second and has pads that change color in 30-60 seconds (60 for the nitrate) and it shows the nitrate is bright hot pink which does not correspond to any color on its chart which means it is off the chart for nitrite. Should I do a water change?

While this is a fresh tetra master kit I am not sure I trust the results.
