NH4, yes, it's used as a herbicide in many situations.
NO3, nope.
Read about fishless cyling and plants here or most any plant site: basically: do not do it, plants remove all the NH4 anyway, so the cycle is "silent".
Does no good nor is useful, a waste of time really.
also, NH4+ high light = GW algae bloom typically, and this is extremely common with folks that try FC with planted tanks.
But they learn the hard way
