What would you recommend for a tank that just cycled and has a lot of new plants and fish?
Yeah! 1ppm of ammonia or nitrites is totally fine for plants. Believe it or not, plants perfer ammonia and nitrites over nitrates. Its a simpler compound for them to absorb as a macro nutrient. If you ammonia does sit at zero for too long, it can cause issues with your nitrifying bacteria, but a week isn't going to be a huge issues. If you are really worried about it, you can get some Dr Tims Ammonium Chloride and dose a little to keep the bacteria fed. I think it might be a little overkill for you, but wanted to at least suggest it if you were worried about it - https://amzn.to/3LVFTRk
